More often than not, people have a limited idea of what public speaking is, that it is marked by some kind of extravagant event. However, this is not always the case. Public speaking happens all around us, even when we don’t notice it. When a professor invites a guest speaker to class, this is public speaking. This is the type of speech I will be evaluating and judging for its effectiveness. The speech was given on April 11, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. by Scott Indermaur, a freelance photographer. His speech took place in my COM 101 class and was intended to give a professional perspective on class material regarding visual communication. He spoke about his work experience, freelance photography projects, and the importance of pursuing one’s passions.
My professor did not introduce the speaker. Indermaur did not give a clear attention getter, but rather a “Hi, how are you doing?” kind of greeting that is typical in addressing students. He began by showing us a portfolio of some of his photographic works and explaining them, which gave him credibility by allowing us to see firsthand the quality of his photography. Then, he talked about his experiences …show more content…

Something that stood out to me was his metaphorical approach to describing photography, which I think helped the audience understand the abstract concepts within photography. Beebe & Beebe (2018) state that “memorable word structures…can help you craft a speech that has both ‘eye and ear appeal’” (10.4 Crafting Memorable Word Structures).

This painted an image for me of photography being an art that heals people and helps them grow. His claims were ethical, as he didn’t overexaggerate his accomplishments beyond believability and made it clear that anyone could have the same success through

It is the most common way to teach or convey a point of view. Many times, I have listened to people attempt to speak to a crowd but they struggle to get their ideas to proceed out of their mouths as smoothly as they would like. It is a shame to have so much positive and profitable information stored, with a difficulty of being able to express oneself. I would like to sharpen my public speaking skills. I don’t want to struggle from nervousness or stuttering or even losing my place mentally.

Before the start of this class, I overused common imagery such as “shine bright like a diamond” to try to convey my feelings. Writing with clichéd imagery dilutes the reader’s attachment to the story because emotions are absent. In this class, I have learned that I have to reflect on my true feelings and emotions before writing. Hopefully allows my readers to feel what I once felt. My favorite imagery that I have written in this class was the spider web in the essay about my grandfather.

Reading speeches vs hearing speeches When listening to a speech, one may wonder if they would get the same information from reading it instead. When reading a speech, one cannot hear the voice of the speaker or how the audience reacts but when listening or watching, one can clearly see and hear the speaker and the audience when watching. When John F Kennedy gave his inaugural address, one could see the audience and hear the emotion in his voice but if one was to read it, he would not be able to hear this. His speech is a great example to see how reading a speech and listening to a speech are different and give different amounts of information.

As students, presentations are something that is required in most classes yet, students do not see themselves as public speakers. Throughout high school and now in college, I have had to present material in 80 percent of the classes that I have taken. Presenting was, and still is something that I struggle with no matter how big or how small the group is that I am presenting to. I knew that Public Speaking was a required class for me so, rather than putting it off, I decided to go ahead and get it out of the was as soon as possible. Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.
