As the summer semester comes to a close, I feel like this speech is vastly different from the first speech I made this semester. My delivery for speech 6 was much more direct, concise, and said with more confidence than my 1st speech. I could also tell that I had practiced for speech 6 much more than I had for speech 1. With this, I felt like I had a lot more energy in my speech, Which, after rewatching my speech, made it more engaging for me.
I did notice that I stumbled over a word or two, but I rolled with it. This was big for me! Whenever I stumble over my words like that, I usually just restart my speech and start a new recording. However, we do not have this luxury when we are speaking in front of a live audience. So, seeing myself just smile and move on is something I’m really proud of myself for.
