Sandra Cash critiques her own persuasive speech delivered at her church on November 28, 2010. She analyzes what she did effectively, which included having an interesting topic that engaged the audience, speaking loudly enough, and using her outline when she lost her place. Areas for improvement included making more eye contact with the whole audience rather than mostly one side, relying less on her outline when delivering long quotes, and appearing less nervous with more practice giving longer speeches. The goal of the critique was for self-reflection on her strengths and weaknesses to become a better speaker.

I will analyze what I accomplished effectively when I delivered my speech. Then I will look at what I need to improve to become a more efficient speaker. The goal of this critique is to see what I accomplished as the speaker and what I need to improve to become a more efficient speaker.<br />The first thing that I accomplished was I had a topic that my audience was really interested in. Because I had an interesting topic my audience was really ready to listen to me. The second thing that I did well was I talked loud enough while I deliver my speech. The third thing that I did well is when I got lost in my speech my outline helped me find my place.<br />There are a few things that I feel I need to improve on in order to become a better speaker. The first one is I need to work on is I was mostly looking at the whole audience. I noticed that when watching my speech that I mostly looked to my audience that were on my right. The second one is that when I had quotes I mostly looked at my outline because they were long quotes that I didn’t quite have memorized. Lastly I looked really nervous, when I was nervous; mostly because it was new for me to deliver an eight minute speech that was a persuasive speech that had a lot of long quotes and news articles. <br />The goal of this critique is to analyze how I delivered my informative speech. To point out what I accomplished as the speaker, and to see what I need to improve to become a better and efficient speaker. Through this critique I now know what I need to improve and what I accomplished. <br />
