Self Critique Part 1 – Right before my speech I was a bit nervous. However when it came time to present I felt a lot more confident. I not only felt like I had my speech better memorized than last time, but I could also relate to the topic on a very personal level which really helped. I was also used to the experience, so it didn’t bother me too much. When I was done I felt like I had done a pretty good job, at least better than my informative speech. Part 2 – I felt like my sound was good, but not quite as loud as I had wanted – this was mainly due to the fact that my voice was hoarse that day. I feel like I presented the material with confidence though. My thesis was serious yet relatable, especially with my attention grabbing material. I also felt like the layout of my speech was very organized. I talked about what the problem was, why it was that way, and how to help, in a very clear and concise way. I had a lot of very strong and reputable sources as well. My conclusion was my favorite part, mainly because I presented people an opportunity to help immediately in a way that would be enjoyable. Part 3 – My delivery was good, but not great. I know I needed to work on it more after last speech and I did, but it still could have been better. Once again my organization was good and I felt like I was able to speak smoothly, with the exception of a few ughs and looking down to read. I feel like the reason this was, was due to my numerous, and long citations. Many of them had lots of large numbers that I couldn’t memorize, with odd wordings that I could not help. Volume was good but next time I will not have such a hoarse voice. Part 4 – Overall my strongest aspects of my speech were my organization and speech layout, the flow, and my confidence in my speech. I felt like my preparation was better than last time. My topic was interesting to me and I feel like it could touch a lot of people on different levels. I still want to work on my memorization a bit more. This is so crucial to the delivery and the smoothness of it. A good delivery will help strengthen credibility as well as make the speech run a lot more clearly. Part 5 – ONE THE SHEET
