After both watching my persuasive speech video and previous videos, I’ve noticed that I’ve definitely changed in regards to both my physical and vocal delivery. I used to have terrible stage fright and would stutter while looking down at the ground whenever I had to present in front of the class, but this course has definitely helped me to get more comfortable with public speaking. Compared to how I presented before, I notice that I use less vocal fillers, make better eye contact, and seem a bit more confident. I think I did well in getting the audience’s attention during my speech through the visual aid, and by persuading them through examples and scenarios. After watching my classmate’s persuasive speeches, I think that the way you present yourself makes for a successful persuasive speech. If you look confident and assert your credibility while maintaining good posture, eye contact, and speak at an expressive and loud volume, you are definitely more likely to persuade your audience. When I go into business in the future, I will definitely use what I learn when presenting in business meetings. The most important skills I’ve taken from this class is speaking extemporaneously and speaking with more confidence. This course has definitely helped me a lot.
