BLOG POST #4

For my speech I will be persuading my audience with ethos by showing the audience that people who work at Orange leaf love their job and love helping people. I will research and interview customers to get their opinions of Orange leaf itself, so that I can share it with the class in order for them to see how it is. I will persuade with pathos by giving my opinion on orange leaf and sharing other customers stories about their experiences in Orange Leaf. Last I will persuade my audience with logos by giving the audience facts and reasons why they should go to orange leaf and check out all it has to offer. I think that this strategy will be affective because it will give my audience and idea of everything the Orange leaf has to offer and what exactly Orange leaf is all about. Also after I explain everything about Orange leaf my audience will definitely want to check it out themselves.

After watching my speech and critiquing all of it , I really liked how I showed confidence throughout my whole speech. I really couldn't tell how nervous I was by watching myself. I also liked how I did not talk too fast because in the past with speeches I would also talk way too fast so you could not really tell what I was talking about. The last thing that I really liked about my speech is that I made a lot of eye contact, I thought it was going to be really hard to look at everyone in the room but it actually was very easy because they all seemed to be listening really well. I did not do well on being prepared, you could tell by just watching my speech that I could have prepared a lot more. I also did not like how much i used hand gestures, I should have toned that down just a little bit and only used them when talking about the most important information in my speech. For the future with speeches I need to be a lot more prepared and I want it to show that I practiced. I also think that I need to start walking around the room more just to show that I have more confidence because that will overall look better. I also am going to watch stuttering because sometimes when I get nervous I tend to stutter and it ends up making me more nervous than I should.
