"I Wish" Speech Post Evaluation

Overall, plain and simple I think my second speech was much better than my first one. I think my pacing was a lot better and more importantly I think my pronounciation of the words in my speech were articulated more carefully. The thing I needed to improve on the most in my second speech was eye contact towards the audience, my first speech I basically read the whole time with a little bit of eye contact here and there. However, my second speech I memorized basically my whole thing so it was much easier to make this much needed eye contact with the audience, overall I think this was the skill I improved on the most throughout this speech
Although I improved on my pacing and pronounciation I think these are two skills that I still can improve on, based on my first two speeches. Which is two very important types of skills when it comes to public speaking and the audience understanding the speaker clearly but other than this I think I improved on almost everything when it comes to the different types of skills in public speaking
What I noticed from watching my peers for what makes a good speech would definitely most importantly be eye contact. This allows the audience to see that the speaker is engaged in the speech and is also showing that he or she is speaking and not just reading which keeps the audience engaged and interested as well. I would also say posture is second most important because without good posture the audience feels as though the speaker is not interested in the audience and most importantly what he or she is talking about which turns the audience off. Lastly, pronounciation and diction is key when public speaking so that the audience is able to hear every word that is included in the speech which also allows for the audience to be more engaged in the speech as well
