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,
projection, and interesting stories then, the speech will fall short of great. With all of the positives in my performance, there comes negatives as well. One thing I know I can improve on is the speed of my reading. My reading was a little too fast for the audience, so in their minds they could have been hearing a lot of rambling from me. Reading fast also hindered my time from being exactly five minutes. Reading fast shaved off twenty seconds from my time, which cost me a few points. Having the audience listen instead of hearing rambling is a major key in delivering a speech.
Ways to improve my performance, slow down while reading, remember the audience will listen more with projection and clarity of voice, make stories interesting and fun, and do not focus on the time too much. My speeches will only be great with a little room for improvement from now on.
