Speech Reflection

After taking a look at my speech video I noticed a few flaws that I believe need to be brought up, so I can improve future presentations. I noticed at first that I was not projecting my voice as well as other did, and this is a important part of a presentation because if you have a soft voice you wont catch the audiences attention. I noticed I wasn't using hand motions at all and that needs to improve as well as my use of the stage, which all catches the attention of the audience. I also repeated some of the information I provided to make a longer speech but made my speech look weak or even not prepared. I thought I performed better than I had expected because I only came in with a simple outline and went with that I had. I was glad that I finished with 3:35 minutes because I thought I was talking for such a shorter time, which had me worry about my grade. Next speech I will talk louder and project my voice to the audience. I will continue to speak at the same speed and try not repeat myself. I will add more content to my speech as I feel like it was not enough to complete the full 3 minute speech and I believe the next speech should be even longer. I'm trying to improve my hand motion and use of the stage but its hard to cope with some stage anxiety. Overall I believe I did fine as a first speech that day.
