Public Speaking
Essay Exam 1

Hello Mr. Trump, I hear that next week you will be sharing your own favorite hobbies with business students in Queens, New York, so I am going to help you construct your speech. Anyone can deliver an interesting informative speech, for example, President Barack Obama is known for giving informative speeches to the United States. Let me explain exactly what an informative speech is; it is a speech that intends to educate the audience on a particular topic. This type of speech focuses on using description, demonstration, and visuals to explain a subject, a person, or in this case your own hobbies. An informative speech is not the same thing as a persuasive speech. Although the two can merge together, an informative speech relies more on communicating pure information to the audience. The invention of a speech is very important. Being organized is an absolute must when delivering a speech. If the speaker is unorganized and unprepared, it can definitely affect the presentation towards the group. Start off by constructing an outline for your speech. To start off, write down your favorite hobbies and narrow them down to a few. Make note to include the importance of hobbies in your speech. The three hobbies that I selected were shopping, baking with my grandmother, and reading novels. Time, style, and delivery are very important. The most important skill in speaking is storytelling. The arrangement of your draft should follow your outline. When drafting, consider the audience which you are presenting information to. Think about what your audience wants to know and need to know about the hobbies that you chose. One of the goals of effective small group communication is to make a visible effort to include every group member in your audience. Make sure to provide examples and real situations for each hobby discussed. Having listener and cultural awareness is important in the communicating process, giving a speech is basically having a conversation with your audience. After the draft for your speech is completed, make sure to practice! When giving a speech, it is best when it is conversational. Your message needs to flow and make sense. Manage your speech anxiety; it is very common for people to feel uncomfortable in front of a group. Most people try to deliver a speech based on memory, but once in front of an audience nervousness may come upon. Sometimes it helps to pretend that you are just having a good conversation with your best friend. It is essential to have good eye contact and stand up straight facing the audience, this shows confidence and good professionalism. During your informative speech project your voice loud enough where everyone in the room can hear what you are saying. How you say something can be more important than what you say. Having vocal variety can add emotion to your message. The best thing you can do to deliver your speech effectively is to vary the pace, volume, and pitch of your voice when speaking. While delivering your speech, look for audience feedback. Does your audience seem interested? Are all eyes focused on you? Lastly, at the end of your speech tell your audience thank you for listening. I hope that you are fully prepared to write your informative speech on your hobbies. The hobbies that I have selected help me get through some stressful times. They all allow me to relax my mind. The grade that I anticipate on my informative speech is an A.
