Looking back on my first post, i actually dont think the man who made the speech was that good of a public speaker. He had all the physical aspects down, as in he didnt studder, walked around and kept eye contact, and used his hands a lot, but he didnt consider his audience. The audience was a bunch of kids ranging from 14 to 18, and he didnt plan his speech accordingly. He started out funny, making a bunch of jokes and making us all laugh, but as he got into it he was getting really angry at us. There was even a point where he yelled at a kid who had a smile on his face. This anger and seriousness should not have been presented to teenagers, the speech he gave was more for adults.
My understanding of a good speech has not changed that much since the beginning of the course, i can normally tell when a speech is good or bad. The main thing i have learned to improve on my speeches it to consider the audience. If your audience is a bunch of preschoolers, you have to make your speech up in a way that four year olds can listen to and understand.
