I evaluated Zach Chernitzer. He did his research speech on the history of the Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarists. The subject was very interesting and the speaker had a lot to talk about. Throughout the speech the speaker had many strength, he also had points that could stand for improvement. The speaker knew what he was talking about during his speech. He was very informative and passionate about what he was talking about. The content was well organized for the most part. He have a nice timeline of over the years with the different albums that have come out. The speaker could have had a better introduction and conclusion. He also could have done better with stating his in-text citations during the speech. There was a lot of content he went over so it was hard to pay attention the whole time. His slides were very nicely done. They were very interesting and went along with what he was talking about very well each time he transitioned. I also, enjoyed that every time he was talking about a certain guitarist there was a picture to go along with the information about the person. His choice of words went well with the content of the speech short and sweet. The delivery of the speech was almost inspiring. The conversational quality was definitely there. You could tell the speaker enjoyed this band and loved to talk about them. He had very good vocalization throughout the speech and great eye contact. He had excellent pronunciation of words, very clear. Overall, the speaker did a wonderful job at delivering his speech. The speaker had many strengths. One that I noticed that others might not was his attire. The speaker wore an outfit that I imagined someone in a band would wear. Button up, t short underneath, some s... ... middle of paper ... ... qualities over the bad. I do have some recommendations for the speaker to work on his weaknesses. Number one, he should get a classmate to videotape him during a speech so he can see and hear his flaws. Number two, he should practice in front of many different people as well as in front of the mirror before giving the speech in front of the class. Number three, he should get a buzzer and every time he makes a vocalized pause whoever he is giving the speech to should buzz it. Number four, he should make the speech more audience oriented play a game or a clip from the topic so that it’s not information overload. I hope the speaker takes some of these tips and applies them to his next speech. In conclusion, Zach did a great job! He had some flaws and issues during his presentation. However, the strengths were bountiful and made the speech interesting and fun!
The speech delivered by Dr. Randy Pausch is a powerful and influential public speaking, including various communication components that we should pay attention to and learn when we present our speeches. This lecture is divided into three parts: My childhood dreams, enabling the dreams of others and lessons learned. Dr. Randy Pausch told his audience what he believed and valued with his proper body languages, effective and efficient delivery and interesting and attractive visual aids. From this speech, it can be told that the speaker’s strengths and effectiveness from the lecture, which can reflect my problems as a communicator and a public speaker
Chapel Hill’s Memorial Hall hosted performing artist Chris Thile on September 12th to delight a full house with a comedic, live, musical performance featuring himself. Appearing as a one-man-show, Thile stood simply on stage with his mandolin around his neck and a microphone in front of him to capture his witty banter and southern vocals. Throughout the course of the night, technical errors threatened to detract from the show but Thile took them in stride as he worked the mishaps gracefully into his act. Overall, the performance was executed to the high standards of the Grammy Award Winning musician and his famously diverse and spontaneous art was eloquently displayed to his lively audience members.
The outside speaker that I saw took place on Monday November eleventh two thousand and thirteen, in the Saint Ignatius Science Center room one hundred and fifteen. The speaker of this presentation was Tom McDonnell elected CEO of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Throughout McDonnell’s speech he talked about his experience attending Rockhurst University when it was an all boys school and his life after he graduated form Rockhurst and started his career. I thought that the speech was very well organized because I would assume that he made very good valid points, and when I say assume, I will elaborate on that more later on in my paper. It seemed that there was a clear introduction and body, but I was kind of surprised with the conclusion because he seemed to have just ended his speech. Or it might have been that his conclusion was so long that I just assumed to be part of the body.
When he did the speech, he managed time very well. The total was one hour. He organized the messages. He used the Motivated Sequence, presented the baseball game. He gained the attention of the audience. He showed problems and the solution about to play baseball. He also gave positive visualization regarding the implementation of the solution. For example, he showed the picture and a video to audience. Then he asked audience tried to play. It was effective. Audience could feel and touch the items. And audience can be practiced by the speaker’ direction. He developed interest and involvement. And he also strengthened
First, Phil must clearly state his previews and transitions in any future speeches. While there may have been some effort to provide transitions in this speech, there seems to be no preview statement at all. For the audience to follow what Phil is talking about, he should have preview somewhat. Towards the end of the video there may be an attempt at a preview. He states “If nominated tonight I want to campaign for Star County’s greatest strength-its people.” If this is indeed a preview statement, I recommend he adds to it, as well as stating it more towards the beginning of his speech. Also, the transition statements are lacking. He doesn’t seem to transition as he goes from idea to
Vivo’s performance was very deep and insightful on life, taking lessons from the three topics in his show’s title “Buddhism, Brainwaves… and Bill Murray.” He used those three to build a foundation of a point that people usually treat each step of life as a task towards getting to the next step. That people are rushing through life too fast, and should slow down, and enjoy every aspect of it. It really opened up my eyes to start taking advantage of opportunities that may be thrown upon me, and experience what there is to do in life. It really did help that he was a very good speaker. He spoke in a way to make himself seem very intelligent, and draw in the audience to what he was conveying. To make sure he
It had a more artist approach to it. It was also fun to see that they used some of the same visuals as us in their show. I feel like they lost some visual effect by the fact that they did not wear their jackets and shakos because it very warm that night. Their arms look a little funny out to the sides without the jacket. The performers did engage me however I got distract by other audience members a few different times during the performance. During the performance people were talking really loud and a few people kept getting up and walking in front of me during the performance. Which I found very disrespectful. So this gave me an insight of how people probably act during our halftime shows because it hard to tell from the field. Overall I really enjoyed the show and was glad that I got to go see
Chapter 8 talks about poise. Poise is a major key for speeches. Just about every speech giver suffers from nerves, regardless of who they are and how much experience they have. The chapter discuss how people over exaggerate the fear of public speaking. Many articles talk about how the fear of public speaking is bigger than the fear of death, yet Palmer talked about how any student that he has assigned a speech has delivered it, and not done half bad. Chapter 8 talks about how confidence plays a significant role in your poise. It also talks about how we must learn our flaws, such as annoying gestures. We then must find a way to break the habits. Bad habits lead to the audience getting distracted. Once you have a disengaged audience, people begin to start getting less and less from your speech. The book also talks about the
Jose’s presentation appeared well-organized, therefore he showcased a simple and well thought out description of an embarrassing moment. He seemed relaxed and calm throughout his entire speech. It appeared well rehearsed and it flowed from one point to the next revealing his well-organized
As for the delivery, I thought it was very well spoken. Biden was energetic and engaged the crowd effectively but also serious when necessary. He used gestures to add to the speech and
...t orator and rhetor, his ability to integrate emotion into fact and still have facts exist as true and unbiased. As a result of the heavy factual details, his logos in this speech was excellent.
While watching my video I did notice that I was able to understand and clearly know what the main point was. I spoke in a clear and a tone loud enough for everyone to hear. The speech was organized very well, so one idea or thought flowed to the next. I don’t think I need to change anything in regards to my central idea being clear. I was satisfied with that part of the speech.
I thought it was interesting that you can look at the audience and be able to see the their reactions and really see the quality of the show. The audience remained extremely quiet and attentive, focused throughout the entire performance. I even thought many people were asleep but, I later realized they were just zoning into the moment, really taking in the essence of the music. It looked like it brought out a lot of emotions from the people in the audience, giving them time to reflect and really think. The concert was a different experience for me. The concert covered different types of styles and different artists. My favorite piece was the last piece which was Piece d’ Orgue, by, Bach because it reminded me of a horror movie, and horror is actually my favorite genre. Overall, going to this concert was a bit unusual and out of the norm for me but I would definitely consider it as a very wonderful and very interesting experience. It was very
I thought I did a good job in creating the Prezi, and making the presentation seem very professional and attention grabbing. The biggest challenge that I had was communicating the material directly to the audience effectively. This had been a problem for me in my entire life, however, I believe that this is something that will gradually improve by experience and practice. Although the presentation as a whole may not have ended up as successful as I wished; I had learned a lot about writing a research paper, and experiencing the feeling of speaking to a crowd. I believe that I will be able to implement the knowledge and experience that I had gained for any sort of public speaking in the
Steve Jobs played a huge role in revolutionizing technology. He is considered to be a major role model for people and has heavily influenced many lives. I was able to witness some of the techniques he uses to inspire and push people in his speech. I consider the graduates, who were present on that day, lucky to be able to hear a few words of wisdom, inspiration and character from him.
