Speech 3 Reflection

I think this speech was a little more difficult as it was longer than the first two. Although it was still a short speech, it’s challenging to remember all of the main points and supporting points since I’m used to reading off script-like notes. I am relieved that I have been able to stray away from relying heavily on notes, but I still need to work on sounding more fluid and conversational in my presentations. Some of the feedback I received was to practice the speech more to make it flow better, which was frustrating to hear since I did practice many times, it just didn’t show in my dry run. I really tried to make it flow better in my final version, but I know this is a skill that I still need to work on. I think that feeling more confident with my speaking ability through experience will help me improve this aspect of my speeches. Power posing and deep breathing may also help me feel more confident and improve my speeches.
