Attend a political campaign speech, or watch one on television or YouTube, or watch a speech

broadcast on C-SPAN by a business or professional leader. Pay particular attention to

the speaker’s delivery. Critique his or her use of gestures, movement, posture, eye contact, facial expression, vocal delivery, and appearance. What advice would you give this speaker based on the principles of effective delivery presented in this chapter? Chapter is on Developing Your Professional Presentation and Delivering Professional Presentations.  200 word

Mini Project

You will create a speech that should be three to five minutes long. You must upload a video of the speech, a transcript of the video/speech (print version), and a short 75 word reflection statement (three separate uploads). In the reflection statement, discuss what aspects of this assignment you found helpful for your future career. Mention some strategies you can use to improve your speech making abilities.

In preparation for this project, make of a video each time you rehearse. Use the following questions to evaluate your speech:

1.

Did I use an extemporaneous delivery style?

2.

Did I refer to my notes, but not read or memorize my speech?

3.

Did I establish eye contact with my audience before, during, and after my speech?

4.

Did I use gestures in a natural way?

5.

Did I have appropriate posture?

6.

Did I have appropriate facial expressions?

7.

Did I vary my facial expressions throughout the speech?

8.

Did I speak loud enough to be heard clearly?

9.

Did I speak with vocal variety?

Note:

Your video upload should have as many of these qualities as possible. Choose the best video to upload for this mini project along with the speech transcript, and the reflection statement.  Attached is a pdf that will give you an idea of this subject.

If you have anyone Asian to do this video that would be best because of my name.  PS I am Vietnamese if that matters.
