Speech buddies videos!
After watching the speech buddy videos for chapters 7 and 8, I learned a few tips that I think we all could deem useful to all of us who are trying to improve our future speeches. I think one of the most useful things that was discussed is the use of support; that is something I have lacked. Facts, statistics, and sources always help when trying to convince your audience to believe what you are saying. Another aspect that was discussed is credibility. Are your sources credible? That is something that we all can put into account during our research phase. We can compare sources and see which information is more credible or provides more statistics to better support our argument:)

ReplyDeleteI too believe that one of the most useful things that was discussed in the videos was the use of support. The use of support is extremely pivotal when making a speech. I say this because facts, statistics and other sources like you mentioned really do make or break your speech. To explain, if you do not have any facts or statistics, then your speech will seem pretty bland and may get the audience to believe that you don't really know what your speech is about. Either that, or they will just think that you could have researched it more.
Credibility is an essential component in a speech. Without credibility, the point in which you are trying to get across to the audience will not really get across to them and will just be vague.
