Speech Growth

This entire quarter we have been working on oral presentations and becoming better speakers. I have deffinetly improved my speaking technics in both tone quality and hand gestures. My eye contact has improved, but sometimes I struggle with not just reading right off my power point. Also, my hooks could always be better and I should also work on memorization. Overall, I am glad that we worked on public speaking, and I have learned alot about oral presentattions which will help me to be more prepared for life after college.

How to Drive a Manual Transmission Speech:

     My how to speech on learning how to drive a manual transmission went pretty well. My topic gave me plenty of things to talk about, so time was not a problem at all. I made eye contact with everyone in the room, and maintained eye contact throughout my speech. Also,  I feel that I did well with my enthusiasm and kept with my own personality while speaking.

     One thing I could improve on is my actual explaination of the topic. I need to practice more on explaining, and not just assume that people know what I'm talking about. But otherwise I think I did pretty well on my speech. This speech was fun because I was allowed to talk about and explain something that I really enjoy, driving a manual transmission.
