Importance Of Public Speaking

Public speaking can be very tough for some people, but it could also come as ease for others. One may get anxiety or even gain confidence when speaking to a general audience. Public speaking is enhancing your communication skills in becoming a better speaker. Great public speaking is important for everyone, in any field. It is crucial to include key aspects of a speech such as good delivery, supportive material including relevant sources, use of technology ad ethical issues. While analyzing a speech given by Jacob Kraybill I was able to look for these characteristics in order to constructively critic his speech.
The speaker’s delivery methods are important when giving a good speech. There are two types of delivery in a speech, which ranges

Jacob’s does give eye contact to the audience but about every two/three words he would look down at the podium. This indicates Jacob was using notecards to make sure he stayed on track with his speech. If the speech was memorized a little more he would have kept more eye contact with the audience. The more eye contact the audience receives the better one can relate to the speaker and the topic. Jacob also didn’t do any hand gestures while he was speaking which is not bad, but it’s not natural. When a person is talking in a tone where he or she is comfortable they will indicate it non-verbally with hand gestures and side emotions.
Jacob’s language also was ideal in his speech. He used mature words to stay away from common terminology common people use for homosexuals such as gay, lesbian boyfriend girlfriend.

I was able to understand him clearly and I can assume his audience did as

The first reference made was about a 2004 General Accounting office releasing a point that well over a thousand rights were denied to homosexual couples. This reference shows in numbers how many rights are denied to them, and because there is a lot if indicates a stress. Homosexual already endure social discrimination, the government not allowing them to have basic rights, adds political discrimination as well. A second reference was made that a scientist discovered that there are environmental and biological influence on sexual orientation. This shows reference that people don’t wake up and make a decision to be a homosexual; there are biologically factors in the body that distinguish that for you. In fact, most homosexuals feel as if they were born that way. Jacob also refers to a 1991 discovery in which parts of the brain that control sexual activity are different in homosexuals than they are in heterosexuals. This was a very a vital indication that having a specific orientation is not a choice. A third reference Jacob makes is the homosexual population, he states its about 5% of U.S. citizens are homosexual. This is not a large
