The speech buddy videos this week were mostly about delivery of speeches. They emphasized language, practice, and clarity in presenting your speech. They talked a lot about making sure you use concise and appropriate language when delivering your speech. What I found to be most helpful were the chapter 12 videos. So far, my biggest problem with our speeches has been my delivery. These videos emphasized the importance of good eye contact (which I have been lacking!) and good gestures when presenting a speech. The other video also talked about how important it is to practice your speech. This is important because I think if I had practiced my speech more last time I would have been more comfortable and therefore would not have had a problem making good eye contact with the audience. Overall, I found these to be the most helpful videos we have watched so far, mostly because they addressed problems that I have been having.

I can totally relate to you because delivery is the biggest problem I have as well. Like you, I probably lack eye contact and rush through the speeches. I think that these videos were helpful in that as well. Hopefully we can remember the tips that were given so that we can apply it to our delivery. However, I believe that overall, the difficulty of delivering a speech comes from how nervousness because even when I practice the speech tons of times, I still get up there and forget how to breathe. Over time, we will hopefully be able to get over it with time.
