Speech 4 Reflection

Preparing this speech made me a little more nervous than the past speeches because I wanted to show how amazing my mom is and treat it like a real introduction at an event.  I had to put a lot of thought into which qualities of my mom make her my biggest role model and provide meaningful examples. I wanted to make my speech powerful and emphasize how important my mom is to me, so I tried to incorporate pauses, changes in tone, and body language to emphasize my words. I feel like my confidence showed a lot more in my final run of this speech compared to past speeches. I think this is because I practiced this speech a lot to improve my pace and delivery. Although I saw a lot of improvements with this speech, I’d still like to work on expressing more emotion through my tone and body language.
