Speech Buddies Videos
In the videos, there were many helpful things to use towards my speech. Anthony talked about engaging your audience with language. You have to use audience centered language so they feel you're speaking to them and connecting. He gives examples of pronouns you can use so the audience feels as if they're part of your speech. Humor can help bond and catch your audience's attention, but remember to use it in a way that won't offend or bore them. Erin discusses how to effectly use language in your speech. She gives a list of guidelines that can also be founded in the book. The next video, Janine and Anthony show effective and ineffective vocal delivery. I like that Janine tells you that your voice is a key component. You have to pay attention to your volume, pitch, rate, variety, articulation, and pronounciation. David gives his speech very well with the usage of variation of voice volume and catching the audience's attention. Lisa projects your voice with the perfect volume to be heard. With the last video, it helps to see each speech buddy demonstrate how they practice their own speech as well as give tips.

I also thought that the speech buddy video was very informative. They also shed a lot of light on how cretin things affect your speech. For example on the one where they talked about vocal delivery. I liked how they showed how the speech would be if incorrect delivery was used verses correct delivery. The video on the language was ok in my opinion. It clarified on what you should say. But I still think the language you should be casual like a conversation but not to casual where you use slang and improper “grammar”. But either way the videos were quite helpful.
