Behavior's used by effective speakers

When giving a speech it matters what clothes you decide to wear when delivering your speech.  You should consider the topic, the audience, the occasion  the clothes you wear should not distract receivers from focusing on the ideas of your speech.  Behavior's used from effective speech givers can include:

Posture-Good speech givers are expected to stand when addressing your audience and not act stiff and just go with it as others to evaluate you as you speech.

Gestures-How we use gestures while giving a speech is important not to distract your audience from what is being said.  You need to give appropriate gestures that can be used to enhance the ideas contained in your speech.

Movements and Facial Expressions- It is important to avoid movements and facial expressions that will give your audience the wrong impression.  So it is important to keep movements and facial expressions to a limit when giving a speech.

Eye Contact-  It's important to look at everyone in your audience.

Behaviors that are exhibited by effective speakers are the ability to speak clearly, use eye contact, posture, gestures, movements and facial expressions, and controlling anxiety.  The language and content of your speech matters tremendously because using the proper main points and to ensure proper organizational design  to give a logical sequence in order to keep the audience from being confused.  By careful rehearsal of your presentation you can help develop the confidence and competence required to deliver an outstanding speech.

Thesis

I am doing an oral speech on Queen Elizabeth II because she is Head of State of the UK and 15 other Common wealth realms.  After doing some research on Queen Elizabeth II and found that earlier in her life as princess she impressed many during the war when she was a junior subaltern (second Lieutenant) in the women's services and worked as an auto mechanic.  I also found that Queen Elizabeth II was actually third in line to the throne when her uncle King Edward VII gave up the crown to marry a twice-divorced American.  King Edward VII passed the crown down onto her father King George VI, which would leave Princess Elizabeth heir to the throne, who later became Queen at the young age of 25.  I will be speaking about the Queens early life and reign, public life, marriage and family, and personal interests to learn more about Queen Elizabeth II and her life as Queen.

Evaluating Participation in Intercultural Communication Group Project

When we were working on our group charter assignment it was a little confusing at first trying to figure out the best way to communicate.  So I created a document in Google drive and sent a link to all team members where we could work back and forth.  We also used e-mail to communicate.   It was also my idea to elect a group leader who spoke on behalf of our group, and having the group leader helped tremendously, he did a very good job working around our busy schedules and was always there to help the rest of the group with any difficulties they were having.  With the intercultural group project assignment I did what I agreed to do by completing my portion on the historical cultural conflict involved in the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.  I inserted an introduction and conclusion into our report because I did not hear back from my group and the deadline was getting closer.  I also went ahead and moved all of our references to the end of the document in order to make the report look more professional and easier to read.  I feel that I did well in completing my portion of the project, and proofreading it for errors.

The things that I could have improved on are communicating with my group more often.  I communicated back and forth multiple times.  But, I think that with a clearer understanding of where everyone is as far as how far along they are on their part of the project it would have made it easier for us to move along quicker.

Intercultural Group Communication Project

I found the following credible source to research in order to get started on my speech project.  The article or website below will help me with my project because the article contains useful information about the historical background of Joan of Arc and other interesting facts needed to give my speech.  This article I feel comes from a credible source because it comes from the archives of Joan of Arc.  The article or biography also explains the culture differences and cultural information related to Joan of Arc.  It also gives an example and definition of the religious leader and the certain characteristics she possessed in which make her unique.
