Reflection

The speech that I presented was titled "the luxury of parents". I thought of this speech because of an incident that happen with one of my close friend. He was going to a party and he asked his mother if he could go and she said no, like most parents would and he proceeded to tell her "I hate you, I wish you were dead". This really got to me and got me thinking of parents and I decided to use this as ammunition for my speech. I thought I delivered my speech relatively well. There were some parts I could have fixed like my posture and pace but overall i think it was pretty good. It's a lot easier for me to improv on the spot rather than read it off a screen so that was pretty hard for me and took me some time to get used too. You can really tell the difference when I do either. I think I am more powerful and confident when I improvise because I make it sound like my own. I has to really work on pacing myself because the speech was on the screen but it was scrolling down at a certain speed so that was also difficult to get used too but it helped because I was able to learn how to pace and time my self for speeches in the future to come. This whole presentation helped me in my speech delivery skills and I'm a lot more confident with it now,
