Back at the Beginning

Reflecting back on my first blog post I realize that I did understand some concepts that play a major role in effective speeches. I talked about how the coach made sure he made eye contact with his audience. That is important to do in order keep the attention of your audience. He spoke with the method of impromptu not extemporaneous because he didn’t rehearse his speech and then present it to his audience like the way we did in class. Through his voice and choice of language style he motivated everyone including me. He took in consideration of his audience and made sure to word things a way that we would understand. Myself as a speaker and even watching other speeches I never took into consideration the audience. The audience plays a major role in the speech presentation and taking this class made me realize this. Through his motivational speech he received good feedback not only from the team but also from myself. I received my best personal time and when I told him and thanked him I knew he was happy he made that speech. Before taking this class I didn’t realize how much of an amazing speaker he was, but now that I have and I understand the concepts we’ve learned I see that he is an incredible role model and many people could learn how to deliver a good speech from him.
