Start. Stop. Continue Speech 2

      For my second speech, I chose to write it on the pump up speech genre. This speech was motivational as well inspirational. When I started this speech I was way less nervous than speech one. I was calm and not as afraid and intimidated as I used to be. I think it helped me knowing I had a prezi to remind me of my main points. My biggest problem when doing speech one was blanking out on what I was going to say so I started stuttering. I am overall proud on how I did, and understand I still need to work on a few things but think I'm improving as each speech goes on and getting more confident.

Start:

• As I mentioned above, I said how much more confident I was than the first speech, but I need to start getting so nervous before I go up to present. I fear of getting called on, and I hope I can improve that.
• I need to start being more enthusiastic of what I'm saying. I had a good tone but I think it could improve to get more peoples attention.
• I need to give more background knowledge before presenting so more people understand why I am presenting this and show that I really put in research and effort into this presentation.
• For this speech particularly, I needed to include more moves. I don't think I provided enough considering we were talking about moves and conventions for a solid two weeks of class.
• Also for this speech, I wish I wouldn't have walked away from the computer more like presenters do, but I forgot to since I had to click next to switch the slides, but that would have made my performance better.

Stop:

• I need to stop saying "um" when I can't think what I am about to say because it just sounds really bad.
• I need to stop reading off the screen and memorizing more so I can look more professional and aware of what I am talking about. 
• I had a lot of hand gestures which is sometimes good, but I think at one point there were too many going on and it looked weird. 

Continue:

• I want to continue meeting the time limit expectation. I reached 5 minutes and 20 seconds which is pretty good since it wasn't 30 seconds before or after 5.
• I want to continue keeping a good pace on how fast I am talking. I exceeded the expectations of that and was really happy about that.
• Keeping good body language and having some gestures.
• Being creative about my topic and talking about certain items within that topic.
• Not blanking out as much and getting more confident

Two moves other students had:

• Taka: had an inspirational and motivational speech, and used hand gestures as well as explained his genre well, and related his topic affected him when he used to play baseball.
• Daisy: did a campus guide, and she used gestures like walking back and using her hands just like a tour guide would. She memorized her work, and used an exciting voice tone to keep others attention.
