Speech Buddy Videos
Video 10.1 was extremely helpful to me. My next speech is on the need for affordable healthcare, by using audience centered language such as; we and us, I will be able to draw them into the subject and help them identify with the effects that the healthcare debate has it has on then personally and not just someone else. Language choices are mention in 10.2 and are extremely impotent so that the speech comes across clear and concise and does not offend anyone as stated in the video. In 12.1 I learned the correct terms for identifying vocal variety in a speech and how to use it. Avoiding long pauses or using the word “umm” are important for me to remember because when I get nervous I start scrambling for things to say. I am glad that in video 12.3 gestures were mentioned. I’ve been told by my peers that my hand gestures are distracting but thankfully it’s now been said that gestures can be used but should remain formal. Now if I could only find out what they mean by formal? I would be okay. Lastly as we have been learning a along video 12.3 stressed the importance of practicing our speeches, writing effective note cards and again… practicing our speeches!!!!

I agree with you about the subject on speech video 10.2 on the language choices. There are some people that might become offended by some simple words that might not have been intended to offend in the first place. So thats why it is very important that we use concise, clear words as to avoid any dilemma. I also agree with you in the 12.1 video beacuse i do the same thing also. I say umm when I become nervouse or lose my train of thought. Also I learned alot in the topic of hand gestures, as when to keep it formal and not to distracting to yourself and/or the audience.
