If I had to choose my favorite
speech I presented it would probably be the tribute speech. This is for totally
superficial reasons, of course. Because of all the practice we have had
throughout the semester I really felt like I had the hang of things in
preparing for that speech. I was comfortable, I finally had effective timing,
and I felt like a gave a successful speech. I got 100%! Whew!! Also, it helped
that I was presenting
Honestly though, it was a little
difficult choosing my favorite speech. I also enjoyed the culture speech
because it was super relevant to me, it was fun, and I was able to inject humor
in to my speech (which I enjoy). Honestly, the only reasons I didn’t choose
this speech as my favorite was because since it was the first I was a little
bit more nervous and I didn’t yet have the proper speech structure down yet (like
previewing and reviewing main points).
So I guess when it comes right down
to it the speeches I most enjoy giving are ones that are particularly
interesting and/or relevant to my life. This makes sense of course, and I’m
sure most people would feel the same.
I definitely agree. That is why I enjoy picking our own topics because that way they can be relevant to us in our own ways. I could see why the tribute speech was a favorite considering that it was very personal. It is very easy to talk about things that we know and are close to our heart because we do not have to try to remember the information it is just known. I would say that these were some of my most enjoyable speeches too but I have liked all of them in context and disliked all of them in getting up in front of people.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you guys!!! I have chosen same type of speech ad it is easy to give this speech because you don't need to hold in your memory all this statistics or facts, you know your speech because it's relevant to you and you know everything what you want to tell. And due to practice with different types of speeches it's easier to make up a structure of the tribute speech and consequently to pass everything in right way. You don't feel any stress maybe little bit. I think it's easy to give a tribute speech because you are sharing with audience and you don't need to convince them in something, you feel very nature and you fell their friendly perception.
ReplyDeleteI have to add that I agree too! It is way easier to talk about something or someone you have passion for. A lot of the research papers were harder, because it didn’t all flow naturally. The tribute speech was easy to talk about and write. Also, it was easier to think off the top of your head instead of depending on your note cards. I do agree with Sierra Credo that it is easier to share with your audience, because you do not need to convince them. You are simply presenting a speech that should come very natural to you. Good luck today everyone!
