After reviewing my demonstration speech, overall I believe I did very well. I tried to make sure my voice was loud enough for the audience to here me. My voice, on the recording, was very clear so I believe I did a great job in vocal presentation. I tried to be creative in my introduction instead of just starting right into my speech. I noticed that in a lot of speeches, their introductions and conclusions were very brief and almost nonexistent at times. My introduction, at first, seemed a little off topic, but I think it tied quite well together in the end. I made sure to hold up all of the ingredients for my guacamole dip so the audience could see what I was talking about. My steps to make my guacamole dip seemed well structured and was real smooth. My conclusion was fast and short but I knew I had to end soon. I was almost over on my time limit. I did, however, remember to quickly restate my steps to make my guacamole dip, which I thought was necessary. Those were some of the good points of my speech.
I know my speech was not perfect because saw a lot of areas that I could improve on. First, I remembered to list the ingredients, but I did not list the utensils and other equipment needed to make my dip. I just included them in the steps of my speech. Another point of improvement is that I would set the avocado down on the table and then realize that I was not done talking about it. In result, I had to keep picking it pack up again. My eye contact was great, but I kept looking at the item when I talked about it in order to stay on track. This is just a classical trait of being nervous. Overall, I believe I had a great first speech and I am looking forward to my second.
