Discussion question response 14

Form my second presentation I presented my speech to my roommates. One of the things that came up during the discussion was the speed at which I was talking. It might have been ay anxiousness to finish the speech but both in my comments that I received in class and the comments that my roommates told me, I definitely did talk fast. The other thing that both my roommates and the comments that I received in class was the confidence that I apparently have when I am presenting, my roommates said that the way I spoke was like I was not nervous or afraid of public speaking. But one of thing things that I noticed that I did differently was I did not feel rushed or felt pressured to complete or rushed to finish the speech. Another thing that I noticed was I used my hands a lot. I don’t really know if that is a good thing or not but it seems like it would be more distraction. After looking at the feedback I got from class and then “redoing” my speech was really helpful. I got to really see what I really need to improve on and I really got to see what it is like to deliver the speech in a more comfortable setting.
