Speech Critique

             

    I have made many improvements since the beginning of this class and my first speech. Some of these improvements are adding more content, not saying "uhh", and speaking to the audience better. 

    One major problem I had with my first few speeches were not having enough content on the slides. This also led to me not making the ten-minute mark while presenting. I started doing more research and adding more pictures and videos to my slides to help it go more smoothly. Adding more content has also helped me organize the slideshows better and make them look more presentable.

    Another major problem I faced early on was losing track on what I was presenting and saying drop g's and "uhh". This is not professional while presenting to the class. I also would stop talking completely when I realized I messed up instead of keeping it going. I can say now that when I do occasionally mess up, I don't let it affect me and I keep it going. I can also say that I don't say "uhh" as much anymore which in my opinion has improved my scores.

    One more improvement I have made while being in this class is speaking to the audience better. At first when presenting I barely looked at the audience and kept my eyes on the slides or the computer. The more I kept giving speeches the more comfortable I became and started actually addressing the audience instead of sitting there reading the slides. I also got better at meeting the required time while presenting.
