Analysis Of Cassie Minkel's Speech On The Water Crisis

793 Words4 Pages

My persuasive speech was on the water crisis in Africa. The purpose was to increase awareness about the water crisis happening right now. I explained what is happening right now in Africa and how the crisis is very harmful to the community. I also elaborated on what we can do to raise awareness such as broadcasting a commercial nationwide and the positive outcomes that will happen if my plan were to be followed. I gave this speech on Friday, March 2, 2018. I wasn’t nearly as nervous before giving this speech compared to the heritage speech, because I did Cassie Minkel’s impromptu introduction which was a total disaster. Therefore when it came to giving my actual speech, it wasn’t nearly as stressful. I also felt more confident with this speech …show more content…

I think I did a good job of stating the whole citation in a clear fashion throughout my entire speech. I believe that the set up of my speech was easy to follow as a listener and that the speech flowed together pretty nicely. I feel like my facts made strong points to be able to fight for the cause and was easy enough to make arguments. I think I did a good job of making eye contact with all sides of the room. I would look towards the side of the room that I was on and didn’t only focus on the girl’s half. I feel like I could have had a more energetic delivery, but I don’t think I sounded like a robot throughout the whole thing …show more content…

There were more positives this time however, I still have a lot to work on especially speed of my delivery. I feel like I accomplished my goal of being more confident with my speech. I feel this way because I definitely prepared more for this speech more than my past speeches. I still need to work on the speed that I talk. I talk very fast when I am giving a speech and although I feel like this one was better than the heritage speech, it was still very fast. Therefore, I feel like I just need to practice at home even more so that I know exactly the pace I need to talk in. I was surprisingly less nervous then I expected, but I feel like that was due to me becoming more comfortable with the class and giving an impromptu introduction. In the future, I will practice more at home to make myself feel more steady and at ease about speaking in front of the class. My goals for the next speech would be to give more life in my voice to keep the audience interested and to control the speed at which I talk so the audience can fully comprehend what I am saying. I made many improvements in my persuasive speech compared to the heritage speech, but I want to make even more improvements for the informative

During the speech, George was making jokes which really showed his confidence and that he enjoyed the research he did. I also liked that he had an outline before he started the main part of his speech. The outline gave me an overview on who Lewis Walker was and what parts George was going to use in the speech.

He had a smile on the entire time and made sure to emphasize his passion for this subject. His posture was good but at certain parts throughout the speech you can see him start to slouch, making it slightly less professional, but overall it was good. His expressions were very animated but not over the top, just watching his face you could tell the way he felt about each thing he spoke on, I think this was also one of the best parts of his speech. As

I think that the speech, because it was more emotional and on the personal side, it brought a sense of human emotion and the ability for the public to interact with and to understand politicians. It also showed that televsion and media do in fact have a lot of influence in the image of political persons and the reality persona that it creates.
