Speech Bud.

The speech videos were pretty good in informing us what they wanted us to know. As far as learning things for our upcoming informative speech, I have learned more about how to capture the audience's attention and mindset, as well as how to summarize all of my main points and conclude in my final words. The introductions that were presented to us as attention-getters actually worked on me as I tuned in to listen to the rest of the things they wanted to say. I must say though that depending on the method that I typically open with, it could grab the audiences' attention a lot better. I only recently started to open up my speeches with little anecdotes to hopefully create an image in the audience's minds.

Next, I learned a lot from the conclusion video. From my last speech I didn't do a good job of relaying and summarizing my information so that audience could leave with the last main points in their mind. I must admit though that the techno speech was mildly boring, but the kodak speech was a bit more interesting. I believe that her visual aid assisted in her speech more than the techno visual did, and in the end created a much more interesting and effective speech.
