The main points in the videos of chapter 10 are effectively choosing language and using audience-centered language. In the video 10-1, using audience- centered language is focusing on referring to current events, using dialogic language, using visual language, and sparking imagination with your language. Moreover, using meaningful words, balance between clarity and ambiguity, being concise, building in repetition, and don’t get attached to words are the main aspects of effectively choosing language.
The good example of using imagery and rhyme to advance speech is Stacy in her “Fallen Soldiers.” In her speech content, she repeats the words, “it’s hard for me to imagine,” to emphasis her purpose, instigating her audiences’ emotion for fallen soldiers. In addition, she employs meaningful words, such as courage, honor, pride, and patriotism to highlight her topic.
In the chapter 12, properly loud volume, low pitch, right rate, vocal variety, and articulation and pronunciation are the principal elements of vocal delivery. The strengths of Janeece’s speech are speaking loud enough and at an appropriate pitch, using conversational tone, and pronounce words correctly. The most main drawback of her speech is vocalized pause that she has too much “ah” causing her credibility.
Besides the vocal delivery, the physical delivery is another main point in the delivering your speech that are eye-contact, facial expressions, gestures, body movements, and appearance.
The good example of physical delivery in Lisa’s speech are maintaining good posture and dressing appropriately. But her weaknesses are no enough eye-contact with her audiences and no facial expression. On the other hand, David is presenting well by eye-contact and facial expressions. But he needs change his clothes to fit the occasion.
