How I felt about my presentation - Stephany Asencio

  Presenting in front of others has always been an experience that leaves me both excited and anxious. As I prepared for my recent presentation, I couldn’t help but feel very nervous . The thought of speaking in front of an audience always made me uneasy. As I reflect on how I felt during and after the presentation, I realize that it was a journey of growth, and  a sense of accomplishment. When I first learned that I would be giving a presentation, the thought of standing in front of a small class room of people and speaking especially with the possibility of making a mistake was nerve wracking. Public speaking has always been an area where I felt challenged. The opportunity to present in front of an audience whether small or large offers a unique chance to share ideas, engage with others, and grow personally. Recently, I gave a presentation that provided me with valuable insights into my public speaking skills, as well as my ability to connect with both myself and the audienc...

Thoughts on chapter presentation

I'll be going over the chapter presentation with Group #3 along with my thoughts and feelings over it. Public speaking is an important skillset for anyone. It's not like one of those really niche subjects that are forced to be learned by students who aren't really going to use them. Unless you're mute everyone talks to some capacity, learning public speaking can be an amazing tool to propel those who are already well versed and help aid those who could use some help. There are many reasons why public speaking is such a vital skill First, public speaking fosters leadership. Whether you're speaking in front of a crowd, making a presentation to colleagues, or addressing a community issue, speaking in front of others positions you as a leader. It requires confidence, assertiveness, and the ability to think on your feet. These are all key components of leadership that are highly valued in every field, from business to politics to social movements. The ability to inspire ...

When we first started this project I was mostly expecting to not be at my best when putting everything together, and even worse when it came to actually presenting everything. I have been afraid of speaking in front of others for as long as I can remember and I never thought I'd be able to perform well on a project like this, especially as our first major assignment of the semester. I was also worried whatever effort I put into the presentation itself wouldn’t be good enough, that my work would look lazy or uninspired compared to my peers in our group and all the others as well. I’m happy to have been proven wrong in that regard, and that my work stands equally with everyone else’s.

My experience

My Experience with Presenting an Informative Speech Public speaking is a powerful skill that allows individuals to share knowledge, influence others, and convey messages effectively. One of the most common types of speeches is an informative speech, which aims to educate the audience about a specific topic. Recently, I had the opportunity to present an informative speech for the first time in my classroom, and the experience was both enlightening and nerve-wracking. In this blog, I will share my journey through the preparation, presentation, and reflection on my speech, as well as my thoughts on my classmates' presentations and what I would like to improve in the future. Preparing for My Informative Speech Before delivering my speech, I spent considerable time researching my topic. I wanted to ensure that I provided my audience with accurate and engaging information. The first step was selecting a topic that was both interesting to me and relevant to my classmates. After narrowing ...

My thoughts on our first presentation in SPC-2608

      Hello everyone, my name is Andy Fernandez, and I’m excited to share my thoughts on the first presentation from Group 3 in our SPC2608 Introduction to Public Speaking class. As we embark on this course, we’re all beginning to learn the fundamentals of effective communication, and watching the Group 3 presentation gave me a lot to think about regarding public speaking. As a student just starting to explore the world of public speaking, I was eager to see how my classmates approached the challenge of delivering their first speech. Many aspects of public speaking come into play, and Group 3’s presentation offered valuable insights into the many layers of what makes a speech engaging, effective, and memorable.       One of the key takeaways from Group 3’s presentation was the importance of preparation. The presenters seemed to have invested much time and effort in organizing their ideas, crafting a clear structure for their speeches, and rehears...

   The Power of Public Speaking  I feel like everyones first presentation was amazing but everybody had their pros and cons even myself, this was a very big step into becoming a better public speaker i learned a lot about different topics even my own. Public speaking has long been one of those skills that many people fear yet all of us need to master at some point in our lives. Whether we’re giving a presentation at work, speaking at a wedding, or even just voicing an opinion in a group setting, the ability to express ourselves clearly and confidently is essential. Recently, I had the opportunity to engage in a project that focused on improving our public speaking skills. The project involved informative speaking, persuasive speaking, distance speaking, media appearances, and special occasion and group presentations. As I reflect on the process and the final presentations, I realize just how valuable this experience was not only for myself but for everyone involved. We ...
