Good Afternoon everybody,
Interactive videos 9.1 & 9.2 had some good points about making you introduction & conclusion strong. It also talked about how an attention getter is very important when starting your speech. Videos 13.1A & B, I though were good speeches. Both people seemed confident and had a continuous flow while speaking. After watching the “use it” video, she was able to get my attention, because at first I had no clue what she was talking about, so I found myself intently listening in order to figure out what she was saying. I noticed the way she used her index cards was differently than the other two speeches, she seemed to look down a lot, while the other speech buddies kept constant eye contact & only referred to their index cards when quoting somebody. I’m hoping I am able to develop a strong introduction and conclusion when giving my next speech. Hopefully I can come up with a good attention getter.
See you all soon.

I enjoyed the videos as well. It is alwasy good to critique others and see how their speeches end up. I wish I could seem as confident as them while delivering a speech, but I know it comes with practice. Attention getters are extremely important to start off your speech. It is best to get the attention of the audience right off the bat instead of in the middle of the body of the speech. The speech where the person only looked at their cards for quotes was amazing! maybe the know their speech so well that they can improvise if need to so they dont get stuck on a certain line. good luck with your speech! put hard work into it and practice! with my last speech, I think I could have done better if I had practiced it 20 times instead of 10.
Hi Tiana!
I too found the interative videos very useful. The guy who did his speech on techno music did particularly well. He made great eye contant with his audience and he had a good tune throughout his whole speech. The way he broke his speech down was great too. A lot of good information.
I also am having problem with the attention getter of this speech. I think it's a lot more difficult than the first speech we had. Plus, I'm informing the class of iron-defficiency anemia on infants so I find it really hard to figure out a good way to get their attention. Any suggestions? Well, I will see you on our next class meeting. Good luck with your speech.
I also found these videos helpful. I think its amazing to see how comfortable and confident they seem when giving their speeches, I wish I had that! LOL. I really enjoyed listening to the girl who did the speech on Kodak. I thought her speech was very well organized and thought out. It was almost as if she were a professional speaker! I liked how she had a really nice flow to her speech and it was easy to follow, I think that that is one of many things that I need to work on during speeches. But with all good things comes practice :) Good luck on your speech prep, see you next week!
