After listening to Claire’s presentation on her high school experiences, I found that she was a very strong speaker who used many presentation techniques to complement her presentation.

Claire had a very wide range of speech dynamics that allowed her to put emphasis on different ideas and at times shocked the audience with the volume in her voice, allowing the audience to interalize her feelings. Claire also effectively expressed her emotions, whether her voice was shaking from grief, had conviction through anger, or was upbeat because of joy; Claire’s emotions were easily grasped from her excellent usage of voice to expression emotion.
