For my first speech, I think it went better than I was anticipating. I thought that I was going to be super shaky and forget everything I had initially planned to say in my speech. However, I think I did a good job overall. I liked having the outline of my speech rather than a whole written out speech because it is a lot less stressful and easier to navigate. The audience seemed very engaged which made me feel a lot better when I was speaking so it felt like what I was saying actually meant something. For my next speech, I would like to work on slowing my pace down– it seemed like towards the end of my speech I rushed the ending because I couldn’t wait to get it over with. But for next time I would definitely like to work on the ending of my speech.
