Personal Narrative: My Radio Broadcast Stories
My radio broadcast stories were based on versatility. I picked my stories based on what would grab the audience’s attention. My overall performance was most definitely great, but every good performer knows there is also some room for improvement whether it is a little thing or a big change that has to happen to improve the delivery of the speech.
My radio speech, I believe was one of the best ones. I feel this way because, I had interesting stories that grabbed the audience’s attention, I spoke with fluency and clarity, and I projected my voice for the audience to hear me. With the reading of my broadcast, I used enthusiasm in my voice. Speaking with enthusiasm keeps the audience engaged with what is being said. Without clarity, enthusiasm,

    The vocal delivery was effective in that he simply did not focus on the content of the message, but made his speech relational. The speaker had good quality of voice because he was able to use his voice to enhance the words of the message by keeping a good volume, having a conversational tone and vocal control.…

    Not just to have an ordinary speech, but one that grasps people and pulls them in all you need to have is persuasion also known as Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Ethos refers to the speaker’s credibility. There are three important characteristics: character, competence and charisma. Logos is evidence that supports any claim the speaker makes in their speech. Pathos is known as a strong component of successful persuasion. Pathos is also when you appeal to the listeners’ emotions. Verbal communication is the exchange of meanings by the use of the written or spoken symbols of a language. Non verbal communication is includes any symbolic behavior that is either intentionally or unintentionally sent. I believe the speech “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” given By Dr. Martin Luther King is a great example of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos, verbal and non verbal communication. This speech, was giving on April 3, 1968 at the Mason Temple in Memphis, Tennessee, This was Martin Luther Kings last public appearance before his assassination the following day. “I’ve been to the mountaintop” was a strong and influential sermon.…

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s powerful voice during the ‘I have a dream” speech inspired many people to make a change. For example, during the speech his voice would get louder and quieter to show what was more important and what was almost just supporting the big idea. By using different voice levels he showed what was really important for the people to get out of the speech when his voice grew louder. This is useful because it helps the audience understand what they really need to take out of the speech. Also, during the speech he makes it clear that he wants to be up there giving the speech and no one forced him. This is an important skill to have because it helps the audience feel relaxed and more like they wanted to be there listening to…

    There are several notable speakers in our society today, but it takes special people to be able to flow and make their speeches coherent. While searching for a speaker and looking all over the internet for someone to analyze, I came across Ronald Reagan. For many years I have heard about how good of not only a president he was but a speaker also. After only ten minutes in his farewell speech, I knew that this was the right speech to survey. It shows good content, body language, and shows good presentation.…

    Ronald Reagan’s Address to the Nation on the Challenger is a great example of good public speaking. Reagan uses great language throughout the speech and puts people in a better mood about a very tragic event in American history. Throughout the speech he addresses the majority of the population and thanks people who were involved in helping the space shuttle reach space. His use of all these elements is why I personally love this speech and think it is a great speech for anyone to…

    The speech I selected was Susan Cain- The Power of Introverts. I think the speaker (Susan) was very professional, appealing, confident, and her tone of voice was perfect not too loud or not to low. The speech she was relating to the audience was about introverts and she also wrote a book about Introversion that actually took her seven years to write. She talks about her grandfather; being an introvert and how he could not see people in the eyes when he could talk to them even though he had been in the congregation for sixty- two years. The speaker actually speaks about different events in her life. It seems the audience is really focused on her and she receives a few applauses here and there. The audience is definitely engaged in what the speaker…

    My love for music began in middle school. At that time, I was socially awkward with very few friends. To compensate, I buried myself in music. My dedication led to many honors and admiration from my peers. However, when I got to high school, my relationship with music fundamentally changed. The arrival of an overly demanding teacher coupled with a long episode of depression robbed me of my passion to play. As time progressed, the pain I felt became too much to bear, and I became desperate for an outlet in which I could express myself positively. My quest led me to music once more, but classical was no longer the genre of choice. It was in hip hop and rap music that I found the will to overcome mental illness.…

    On November 20th, I attended Awesome Tapes from Africa at BAM Cafe in Brooklyn, NY. When I first arrived, the DJ, Brian Shimkovitz, hadn’t started his set yet so they were just playing regular music to pass the time. But I was shocked to see so many people had showed up just to see him. This was the first time I’ve heard of him and I was excited to see what he was going to play. As I was waiting for the show to start, I was expecting to see him walk in with guards or as soon as he walked in for everyone to ask for an autograph but I noticed that he was just walking around like he was also waiting for the show to start. He walked past me a couple times before I actually noticed and recognized him. From what I gathered from the BAM Cafe and…

    I also enjoyed the fact that Randy was himself and included humor instead of keeping his speech just informative and plain. The quirkiness and funny side of him made me connect with him through the computer screen and I was eager to hear more which I feel is important during a speech or a lecture. Randy also did a great job at speed and pauses. I feel that he gave the audience just enough time to take in information and comprehend before moving on to his next topic. One aspect of this speech that I enjoyed the most were Randy’s visual aid items. Everything had meaning and I enjoyed learning about the story behind each item. My favorite was the vest with arrow heads attached to the back which meant that people are always wishing negativity onto you, it’s your…

    Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start.

    It all happened on a Monday at around 4:30p.m. The audition was supposed to go perfectly. I had practiced the music over and over again. I knew it by heart and could play it at a moment’s notice. But it didn’t go as planned. That’s the one thing that I remember most, things don’t always go as planned.…
