Normally, I don’t feel any nervousness at all when I deliver speeches but during my persuasive speech, I really felt uneasy because of the idea that Francess gave me. And that is to drink water as my introduction. I felt like it’s nakakahiya or maybe nakakabastos. But then they said that it’s okay because my speech is all about water and I just need to have confidence when I perform it. However, I failed! The water that I drank splashed all over my face! But then it’s a good ice breaker and everyone laughed at me. And that made my nervousness go away. Well, I have noticed that I did better in my persuasive rather than my informative speech. Since I know now what I have to do because of my experience in my informative speech. That really helped me improve myself and correct the things I’ve done before. I think that eye contact is the most important thing to connect with my audience, and so that helped me to get into their thoughts. Another thing is that I prepared well and I researched thoroughly that helped me understand my topic inside out. But then I still have to develop my voice and expressions so that I can deliver my speeches more effectively and excellently.
I think that being organized would really help you accomplish things more easily. Having a timetable will help you to keep in track of your progress and eventually finish it. Also, conducting research will help you understand your topic very well and it will help you be prepared in case someone asks you about your topic. Likewise, rehearsing is also very important because it will give you the feeling of delivering a speech before a crowd. So that when you finally deliver your speech, you know that you have prepared well and that will lessen your nervousness.
For my resolution, I promise to continue doing researches and that I will carefully choose reputable sources and take down notes before starting my speech or any other research work. I also promise to rehearse my speech, face in front of the mirror and practice my gestures and expressions. And lastly, I will look at my audience as I talk to them so that I can get their attention and help them understand what I’m saying.
