Demonstration Speech Evaluation



I think that the introduction section of my speech was most likely the worst possible beginning I could have started off with. I did not capture the audience in an effective manner. I was not very enthusiastic which in turn did not make my audience very interested in my topic. However, I think I did explain the basic relevance of my topic.

In terms of my physical presentation, I think that some parts were bad and others were good. Like I said, my energy seemed to be very low and I did not convey much enthusiasm. However, I think I had good enough volume for being partially ill with a sore throat. I did not have very good body language with my hands and I think my eye contact could have been better. At the same time, I think my physical demonstration of the topic was satisfactory.

I believe I used my visual aid in a positive way that was effective. I think my visual aid probably produced more interest than the speech itself. The organization of the speech was good. I think I presented the steps of the demonstration in an organized manner that was east for the audience to remember and effective in explaining my topic.

If I had to do a demonstration speech over, I think I would keep the same topic because it had some interest from the audience. I think that I would keep the introduction shorter so that I would not forget part of it and stand in silence for ten seconds. I would keep the visual aid but maybe prop it up a little higher for the whole audience to see. The biggest thing I would change would be having a positive attitude and have better body language.
