Speech Reflection

When looking back at my speech, I feel that there are many things I can do to improve for future presentations. The area that I need to focus on the most is my preparation. It was obvious that I was not prepared for this speech because it only last 1:51 and I had to constantly look at my note card. This is something that I did not realize, until I looked back at the video. I used my note card far too much. By being more prepared, I wouldn't be dependent on looking at the note card, thus improving my eye contact. Also, by being more prepared I would have realized that I needed more information to talk about to reach 3:00. I also need to improve my focus. I didn't really make it clear where I wanted to take the project. I should have discussed how I wanted to focus on the people who host the movies, as opposed to those who go and watch them. When it comes to my movements, I stood in one place basically the entire time with minimal movement. I did use some gestures, but they mainly revolved around my note card. I should also try to avoid putting my hand in my pocket. Looking on the bright side of my speech, I did feel like my introduction was engaging and drew the audience in to my topic. In conclusion, I feel like by improving my preparation, focus, and movements, my next presentation will be much better.
