When I delivered my speech on Queen Elizabeth II I tried to
use eye contact when I could I did not use many hand gestures because I was
holding my note cards the entire time. I
did avoid vocal pauses and distracting mannerism when giving my speech I
started from the beginning and went directly to the end without pauses.
I believe I used credible sources when I gave my
speech. I did not orally site my sources
but I did have my sources cited so the audience could review them in my PowerPoint
presentation.
My information was well organized and I believe that it was
clear to my audience I had a lot of information to go over in a short period of
time so I summed up as much as I possibly could.
I was adequately prepared in giving a lengthy speech but I
noticed that I went over the 7 minutes when I rehearsed it I was actually right
on the 7 minutes in length I didn't ave anyone in the room with me so I had to
start recording and stop recording when appropriate so I think that is why my
speech ended up being 8 minutes instead of 7.
I could have rehearsed a little longer because I used my note cards pretty much the entire time, and I should have been giving more of my attention
to my audience.
