➢ Content
○ As planned, I felt like my content was very thorough and coincided well with
my purpose statement. However, I would like to mention that I left what felt
like an integral part of my speech out of my actual presentation. It was within
the “Model” section and this main point talked about how the process of
model casting wasn’t as progessive as it should be and projects many
problems found within the industry. Within my rehearsal strategy, I made
sure to include this part of my speech, however, I neglected to actually say it;
making the “model” unit feel incomplete. I’ve also left my memorable
statement out, but that was because I didn’t feel comfortable addressing it
due to the energy felt in the room. In summary, I felt like my actual planned
content met all of the criteria, however, there was some part of my content
that I didn’t say; leaving holes within my speech.
➢ Organization
○ The organization of my speech was very on point to the rubric; flowing
through each specialist from ultimate planner to smaller, more niche jobs.
Again, it drew very close to the rubric. Which is nice since it provides
concision and thoroughness, however, I would like for my next speech to
have a little more creativity concerning its organization.
➢ Delivery
○ Although I saw some improvements from my last speech, I didn’t feel like
this speech possessed my best delivery. I had a solid stance, made relatively
nice eye contact, and had a clear projection within my voice. I felt more
articulate and there were viewer fluctuations within my voice. I’ve made
reference to this within the Content portion, but I’m still kicking myself
about leaving some important information. This was directly caused by my
rehearsal strategy as I didn’t allocate enough time for rehearsal due to
Midterms. This lack of rehearsal led me to lose a bit of confidence before my
speech and, in turn, led me to go over the information that I remembered
rather than the information that I’ve internalized. In addition, I still have
problems with “ums” and “uhs” but that’s also a reflection of some lack of
rehearsal.
➢ Innovation/Creativity
○ I felt that my speech had a good topic which deviated from the rest of the
presentations I’ve seen. Therefore, It did possess some uniqueness which I
admire. However, I didn’t feel like this speech was fully innovative. It was
still fairly cookie-cutter and had many rooms for improvement.
➢ Overall Summary
○ I had a good topic and addressed my main point clearly. There was enough
content to fill the time slot and my rough-draft for the speech met all of the
requirements. Within my delivery, I left some integral information which
would have added more contextualization for my topic. Furthermore, I forgot
to mention a source and left out my memorable statement. I never
appreciated the value of a good rehearsal until I went through this speech
with minimal rehearsal time. For my next speech, I will make sure to provide
enough rehearsal time for myself to instinctively know my information and
feel confident to present in front of my peers.
