Prepared Speech #1

Speaker:

Charles Cao

Evaluator:

Everyone

Speech No. & Type:

3 – Get to the Point

Speech Title:

Avoid Aggressive Driving

Speech Evaluation:

-          Don’t try to memorize whole speech – this takes many years practice, only take small chunks (specifically, the beginning and the ending are key at first!)

-          No need to ask if you can start again (or otherwise admit you made a mistake).  You’re in control!

-          Once you started looking at your notes, you read from them.

-          You were nervous when you went to take out your notes from your pocket.

-          Could add more vocal variety

-          Very brave being the subject of an evaluation contest!
