797 Words4 Pages

Pecha Kucha Reflection I felt that my stronger points in the delivery were that I made strong eye contact throughout my speech and another strong point in my delivery was that I did not stare at the PowerPoint notable at all, I looked at my PowerPoint just to glance at exactly where I was in my speech, and to know exactly which picture was up and to know if it changed yet.

I tried to make all my image take up the whole screen and to be clear as possible, I wanted to make sure everyone could clearly see my images and have no problems telling what my images were. I tried to use all high-quality images like the book said on page 275 about “Using Images Strategically”. I also made sure that my images were used wisely and that all the images were used effectively and made sure the images were grouped well and didn’t have my images jumping all around compared to what I was talking about. Furthermore, I found that studying in the beginning with my slides and practicing with my slides like the book said in the beginning till I felt comfortable with them made it much easier for me to get my timing down when I started to not look at my slides. In conclusion, preparing effectively and properly for this speech was different then another other speech so far but it taught me many things I didn’t know before and taught me how to effectively use a

  • Gun Violence Informative Speech

    Being confident shows your audience you are comfortable talking about your topic and that you are well informed on what you are specking of. Another thing that I can improve on is relaxing, for example, to not be so nervous. If I can think two steps ahead before I speak it would prepare me for what I am about to say which will allow my words to flow out smoothly and correctly. I plan on improving these skills by practicing more speeches in front of people and doing some relaxation exercises before my speech. I believe by implementing more speeches and doing some of the exercises, it will have me more relaxed, keep my mind focused and boost up my confidence so that I may present my speech flawlessly for an A plus grade.
