Over the course, I have noticed that now I do use less vocal fillers now. I am also louder and I try to use more hand gestures now. My eye contact level has stayed the same, I think I was able to efficiently maintain eye contact with the audience. However, I still believe that I need to work on my stance. I still do a weird sway from side to side and I think this makes me look less confident. I think i was able to show emotions in my speeches and maintain volume and pitch throughout the course. Since this is a controversial speech, and I said many things to provoke the emotions of the audience, I believe that I was able to win over the audience.  I think a successful persuasive speech needs to use a little bit of everything so logos pathos and ethos. It should be straight to the point. It should be able to provoke the audience’s thought and emotions. I definitely think that I will be able to use these tactics in the future. I plan on going into the business field where you’ll definitely have to persuade your ideas to an audience at least one point in your career if not even more. The most important skills I have learned is to be able to really maintain eye contact which I never did. I also learned how to give off a more confident demeanor through your stance. Ive learned a lot of things from this class and i definitely will be using them in the future.
