Review Of The Speech 'Scars And Bruises'

Three things to prepare you for a remarkable speech are personality, relevance to the purpose, and delivering yourself with confidence and poise. The self-introduction speech I chose to critique and reflect on is ‘Scars and Bruises’ performed by Christine Fowler. I found her opening statement to be well thought out because she correlated “scrapes and bruises” to a chain of events that took place throughout her life that molded her into the person she is today. In the first few seconds of her speech, Christine introduced herself, gave the audience a brief run-down of her background, then described what she was going to talk about, listing brief examples of traumatic events she experienced from the time of her birth until her young adult years.
