Patchameena was performed in th CR10 Contemporary Arts Center, where Lucio gave a speech using nonsensial gibberish and fake languages, attached with abundant body languages, gestures, emotional changes, as well as expressions. Also, sometimes different kinds of sounds were played when he stopped saying anything. His voices and…

Informative Speech Self-Assessment The Informative speech I presented in the class was my first experience of speechmaking on a nonscientific subject. In this essay, I have self-assessed the following three aspects of the first speech I made: organization, speech outline and speech delivery. The speech I make was well-organized because It helped me effectively connect the main points, and supporting points I wished to shared with my audience. I believe my speech was well-structured because…

When it comes to speaking in front of people, I get nervous. Whether there are a few people in the room or a huge auditorium full of people. It has been an obstacle for me throughout my life. From show and tell in 3rd grade to big projects in high school, I always became flustered. I’ve always been scared of not being good enough, until one day I decided to make some changes. During my Junior year of high school, I joined the Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE). I enrolled in TAFE…

1. I believe there were some positive aspects of my speech. Firstly, I was not a nervous when speaking in front of the audience. This allowed me to have the speech flow smoother than last time. I was not expecting the audience to be as large as it was this time; but I think the increase of people might have helped easy some of my anxiety. My video seemed to be clear enough, the audio was not as good as I had hoped. I am proud I finally got the laptop to work with me and stayed relatively calm…

In our presentation “Lysistrata” I took part of Myrrhine, what I was accomplishing in this scene was to be as precise as I could be. To also have a classy pitch to match the tones of my classmates, as I listened to myself I felt like I did an okay job for the level that I'm at in theatre I wasnt too quiet nor too loud. Something that I would do differently would be probably be to a better pronounciation of words and have a good fluency of the lines that I have to read. My character didn't have…

In my commemorative speech I was able to commemorate my uncle, Robin Speedie. As I was looking through my speech video cast I noticed strengths and areas I could improve in. My strengths in my speech are: (1) My body language. I moved around the room, not staying in the same position. Also, moving my hands while giving my speech and making a connection with the audience by laughing at my own stories and showing eye contact to the audience. (2) Voice Fluency. I was actually surprised by this. As…

Getting up here and talking to you is very rough. Maintaining eye contact, trying not to scramble over my words, and speaking slow enough so you can understand me. But I know that I'm not alone, that about 7% of the population suffers from this as well and those are only the people who got clincalized. My guess is that each one of you has experienced this feeling too. The time that you're heart starts beating out of your chest and there is a knot in your throat. I don’t think we need to be…

For example, alcohol has many of the same side effects of marijuana. Alcohol buffers the central nervous system and is known to kill brain cells. A joint of marijuana is known to produce more tar than a cigarette, but on the average marijuana users do not consume enough marijuana to surpass the tar build up of a person who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. June Crown and W.D.M. Paton state that "Further, one should realize that different cannabis smokers select different levels of intoxication"…

I cannot believe that is has already been four weeks—four weeks of constant arduous work that keeps expanding my mind in dimensions I have never sought for before. This past week, it was the dimension of speech writing, the layer I have never thought I would be able to achieve because I am a terrible writer… Initially, I planned on writing about slavery as if I lived in the 19th century as a slave owner coming to a realization of how slaves impede the growth of this country morally.…

used to a student’s regular style of presentation, but I was to stand before them and prove myself. This was a test eight years in the making, demanding the all of my writing and speaking abilities for a short thirty seconds. As I stood backstage, my speech echoed in my memory; it was nothing grand, but I was happy with its prose. The presenters before me walked off-stage to mild applause. I waited three seconds, composed my breath, and walked out to a spotlight turned my way. All five hundred…
