Reflection
- In the video I noticed that I was very tense, and because of that I tend to get my words mixed up which results to me having tongue twisters. - Next time I should clip my bangs or tie my hair up because I noticed that I constantly flip my hair, or move it around. My hair also makes my face itchy, so I tend to scratch my face while i talk, and some of the words are slightly muted. - I should add more details to my video because I feel like something is missing. - Overall, I think my eye contact was good. Although I move a lot, by body language was alright. In the end, I was able to tape a decent video after nearly a hundred tries. |
End of the Semester Reflection
I have learned that there are many more skills that a speaker must do than to simply speak. They must present themselves in a way that interests the audience, and in a way that blows their mind away. They must be confident, they must know what they are talking about and more, they gotta do a little bit of research. And those are just some of the things that I've learned. This course has been a blast, and here are three skills and tips that I have learned.
1.) Gestures - When up front, don't make yourself appear small in front of the audience. People will immediately think you're weak, and maybe boring. Nonetheless, they'll probably look at your phone than at you. Do power poses. Take your hands out of your pockets and swing them in the air, like Trump and his random hand gestures. Body language is important, it's another way of communicating with your audience. Your body language express what you feel.
2.) Have some research - This is espcially important when you are doing an impromptuu speech, well at least in my case. Know what you gotta say, and do more than just general knowledge. There's probably that one person in the audience who knows excatly what you're saying, and if you say it wrong, they might question what you say...prepare to burned. Then, there are those who have no idea what you're saying but are just so interested in what you're going to say. What happens if they ask more? What will you say? And, lastly, no one wants to hear the same story over and over again. Say something that will catch their attention and look at things at a different perspective. You won't bore anyone.
3.) Always have a tagline - I was told that most listeners can recall about 10% of a speech they listened to, whether it be a short one or a long presentation. It's just impossible for the human mind to remember every single detail (maybe). So what do you do to help them remember? Say something interesting at the end of your speech. End with a tag. Say something really cool, funny, smart, clever, mind blowing... whatever floats your boat! Just as long as it's interesting and it covers what you just said... oh and, don't make it too long, they'll probably forget the rest of the lines.
My Favorite Speech |

This was my favorite speech simply becauseI presented it with passion and power.
The power part, I didn't noticed until my instructor pointed it out, and here I am
saying, "Oh yeah." I favored this speech so much because I took a lot of time
rehearsing and getting it right. It was nearly perfect, and that's why I liked it
the most. Plus, it was easy reading off the paper ;P
