In the "Drinking" video I think the speaker, Matthew Naso did well to grab the attention of the audience in the beginning. He also did a good job of collecting research statistics of car accidents and such which are related to drinking by driving under the influence. I also liked how he thought of questions we might be thinking in our heads during his presentation. Matthew gave clears points, and various sources that can persuade an audience. & in the "Light pollution" video I think the speaker, Courtney Stillman gave off a good positive vibe towards the audience.
In both the videos I learned many things that could help me with the speech. I learned that gathering many statistics can be very persuasive because it is a way to prove what you want people to do. Having more information also shows how dedicated you are to your topic. I think that we should come up with questions the audience might think of during your own presentation also because it shows how important the audience needs to understand the message. Also giving off a positive energy is good to because it would grab the crowds attention while speaking. I also learned from both videos that eye contact is very important & that we need to pace ourselves while speaking. If we run through our words then the audience wouldn't understand the concept, or not even pay attention.

hello!
ReplyDeleteI too thought that Matthew did well grabbing the audiences attention. At first I was thinking "What is he doing?" which got me interested in his speech. I also thought that by having the amount of statistics that he had made it seem like he was really interested and dedicated to his topic.
I agree when I you say that Courtney gave a positive vibe to the audience but I also feel like she gave the vibe that she didn't know much about her topic because she kept looking at her notes and she didn't seem very confident in her facts.
Eye contact has always been an issue for me while giving presentations so I am hoping that you and I both present to the audience and not to our note cards! :)
I agree with you the drinking video seemed to be very effective. I do think that when you ask the audience a question they begin to think about the topic your doing your speech on. This could be a positive or a negative thing, its positive because they could either keep listening so they get a better understanding of the question, or the negative could be that thy stop listening to your speech and wonder off. I always look at my note cards also because i get side tracked or just forget what my next point was, but they're useful as reminders
