Future Endeavors

There are numerous things I can take from this class that will be helpful for me in future endeavors. Since I am a business major, I really need to make my speech skills better. I learned many things as projection of voice, voice variety, eye contact, technology use, and much more. The most important thing I learned was relaxation techniques, which I need to, use more often since I get so nervous when presenting a speech. I can also use the different speech outlines if I ever have a speech to present during a business presentation. That really comes into help and very organizational.

  1. I agree with you on the things that you are going to take from the class. This semester I think the most challenging thing for everyone was the eye contact. It hard not to rely on note cards or on a PowerPoint when its right in front of you, but doing so makes you look more professional. The voice portion of the class was really helpful for me too, because usually is speak really fast when I’m presenting because I am nervous, and ill skip over a lot of information that I would like to go through. But I think I improved too.

  2. hey! Well I think it is really good that you think that you really need tomake your speech skills much better. I say this because yes, you are a business major, and when dealing in business, you will need to speak to tons and tons of people all the time! Just like they do in t.v, I'm guessing that is exactly what you will be doing and I hope you do use all of the skills we learned in class in your business presentations. The outlines are really helpful because that way, we know what to talk about, we can follow the main points and subpoints, transitions, etc.
    -Jeter!
