Looking back on my speech on Monday, I realize there were so many things that I could have done better. My biggest challenge is getting comfortable enough with my speech that I can overcome my speech anxiety of just blanking out on the current idea that I am speaking on. I realize now that I will need to practice twice as much in order to do well on my informative speech. Some of the things that I thought I did bad on were saying "umm" too much and completely losing my train of thought, which left my statements unfinished and choppy. I could have also added a few more quotes from my cards to show that I researched my topic. The ways I did well in my speech? I wasn't as nervous as last time, I was making eye contact with the audience, and I feel that my demo went well with it being visible enough for the class to see.
I'm planning on doing better with my next speech, I already have my outline almost done and I'm working on the powerpoint so that I have more time to practice my speech.
