CO210-04: Favorite Speech Reflection
I can say that I made a lot of progress over the course of this class. I achieves some goals of my class, such as being confident, as this class had multiple opportunities created for me to speak up in front of a crowd. I also accomplished having volume when I speak compared to before I had a pretty low volume. Overall, my speaking skills have been improved. Public speaking can be quite a hassle but this class helped me get through it much easier. Even after this class, I still have many skills to improve on. Pace is one issue that I still struggle with today. Sometimes I talk too fast and people cannot understand me and the flow of the speech appears to be disjointed. Hopefully I can improve those skills over time as there are many more classes that requires public speaking.
My favorite speech will have to be the "This I Believe" speech. It is my favorite as I made the speech with passion. It is something that I have a deep connection compared to the other speeches. I liked it because this speech helped me practice my voice. Skills such as pronunciation, pace, and volume was learned when I delivered this speech. I rate my speech to be pretty average. There are still things that I have to improve during that speech such as stuttering and pace. I can improve that with more and more practice. Good speakers do not come out of the blue, they practiced many times and that is what I plan to do to improve my speech.

Please make comments or suggestions on my introduction speech Thanks!
My Evaluation of my Intro.
I still have a lot to learn to become a great public speaker. I think this video is a great start in helping me learn to become a speaker. It helped tackle the first task of almost any speaker which is overcoming nervousness. I still make some awkward pauses and I still stutter most of the time so the video has its imperfections as well. As of now it still appears that I am new in the subject of public speaking, but I plan to change that in the future.
My goals for this class include having better confidence in my speaking. I do not want to have awkward pauses which create an uncomfortable situation for both me and the audience. I also want to be a more entertaining speaker that knows how to flow speaking very well.
How was my video?
