Overall, just between speech one and speech two, I have seen much improvement. After watching back the final draft of speech two I feel as though I portray great emotion throughout a majority of the speech. I feel as though I really tie the audience in with eye contact and tone in my voice. I allow them to feel the emotions I was feeling back when this happened in my own life. This was a very personal item and I allowed the audience to grasp a feel of exactly what I was going through emotionally, mentally, and physically. Something that I would like to work on, is a little more strength in my eye contact and also in my transitions. Although I wasn’t looking or reading off of anything, I want it too to feel a little bit less choppy. Overall, I feel as though the organization of my speech as a whole was very well put together and easy to follow. My sentences weren’t too complex which is helpful when presenting a speech. In my mind, I have made great strides from speech one to speech two and cannot wait to see what else I am capable of doing.
