Speech Reflection

There are a few things about my speech that I am both happy and not happy about. What I first liked about my speech is that I engaged the audience. I asked them questions and I was able to relate parts of my speech to our every day college lives. Secondly I liked that I moved around and used my hands in an appropriate manner. I didn't overly walk around or with every word I spoke my hands moved with them. On the other hand, no pun intended, I do wish that I would have slowed down when speaking. I can get carried away during my speeches and when that happens I tend to speak faster; especially when I am enthusiastic about my topic. Also if I were allowed to re-do my speech, I wouldn’t have brought up that the people who participate in paintball could or are so called nerds. I could have expressed that idea in a nicer way and could have caste them in a different light. With that being said I did like how I spun that idea into an excuse as to why people should join my club. Since we don’t know the kind of people who play paintball that should give us an incentive to get to know them. But I do see the point of what I said could carry a negative connotation with it. Overall I believe I dressed well for the speech, came practiced and prepared, and really interested the audience in my project idea.
