In the speech buddy video 10.1, one of the biggest things I learned was to make the audience much more interactive. Always use the words we, us, and I to make them feel like that you aren't just speaking to get a grade, but also to spark a relationship with your audience. This makes the audience much more interested in your presentation, and humor may even improve your speech. I think with both of the chapter 10 videos that speech videos present, the biggest idea is to incorporate the audience into your speech, whether it be shaping the outcome of the speech or even including them in short stories that you may have in your speech.

In chapter 12, the videos helped me to project my voice. One of my faults in presenting a speech, is that I fill my speech up with so much information, I am constantly speaking. With speech buddy, they helped me to realize this fault in which I am able to continue to improve my speech giving abilities. This includes vocal fillers, pauses and constant run ons. Enough practice can eliminate this, and I can reassure myself that with the valuable knowledge from these videos, I can continue to improve.
