Due to covid I have not done my brown bag speech so this evaluation will be over the

impromptu speech.
I guess one of the positive things about the impromptu speech was the easy of which I spoke on
the topic. It’s hard to talk about something you know nothing about or disagree with. Since I
have four other siblings talking on whether kids should watch tv or not was easy for me to speck
on. I guess the one thing negative I would say was that I was not prepared for the speech and I
was a little nervous. Due to the speech being impromptu not much to improve there but with time
preparing and presenting speeches will get easier.
For the intro of my speech, I immediately jumped in to the topic sentence stating I fully agreed
with it. The intro was ok but would have to do research for a better intro. The body was subpar as
I was just stating things on the subject as they came to mind hoping to stretch the time out. There
conclusion was very abrupt because it was like a 45 second speech, so a better conclusion could
have been attempted or prepared.
I don’t recall using fillers in the empty space. That was one of the things I was trying to avoid
when I jumped straight into the topic at the beginning of the speech. I yes not all silence needs to
be filled dramatic pauses are usually quite good at what they do by there being nothing in the
time slot.
Well, for the impromptu I had to stand in front of the class, so I basically took a wide stance as if
to hold my ground and went from there. Also, I was still wearing my mask so hard for people to
read my expressions. I generally have a good pitch and volume when I speak so I felt those were
on par. So I feel that both my verbal and nonverbal delivery were decent but could use some
work.
