Speech Reflection

While watching my speech I feel like for as much as I practiced it should have been much better, I was very nervous which is odd because I have given plenty of speeches in high school; I even had to give an exit project in front of my administration and I felt more nervous in front of our WRD 110 class than in front of the admins at our school. I did do a couple things that were good as well; I made good eye contact looking at everyone around the room, instead of just staring at the wall in the back. I also like the way I paced back in forth it wasn’t to slow or to fast, and I didn’t continually pace constantly I would stop every so often then pick it back up just so I wasn’t awkwardly walking the whole time.  For the most part I got the point that I needed to get across about the paintball club, but unfortunately I did miss points that I needed to say. I need to work on multiple things such pacing myself as I talk and slow it down making the speech smoother, I think that is the big reason why I studded when I talk because while having normal conversations I don’t studded because I’m talking slower. I need to let my brain work faster then my lips, not my lips work faster then my brain. Lastly looking at the speech I said a couple of things twice and didn’t realize it and I sounded stupid. But other than that if for some reason we got another chance to present these I would defiantly work harder and practice more so I could knock it out.
