...the gift of speech is the most miraculous. I believe that, if speech were to stop, all civilized living would suddenly vanish. I believe that the ability to articulate is essential to inner harmony, to emotional maturity, and to mental balance. If all people could be completely articulate at all times, human relations might improve to the point where there would be no more wars and no more jails, more stable homes and more happy people. I believe that speech is essential to the growth of the human personality and that it provides a way for self-discovery and self-renewal. For many, it is a way of self-expression without brush or pen. I believe that the act of speech is a total process, that when it reaches optimum effectiveness, the whole man communicates. What one is, is always part of what one says. I believe that there is no substitute for content in the speaking process. Material or intellectual worth provides the essence of eloquence. Speech skills have their importance, but they no more make speech than clothes make the man. The center of gravity in all speech communications is thought and idea. I believe that every student should develop a concern for truthful and responsible speech, exhibiting sense – not non-sense, sincerity – not cleverness, forthrightness – not superficiality, and should never be a party to plagiarized or dishonest work. I believe that speech has no absolutes, that a completely perfect speech has not yet been made. I believe that speech offers a...

...FOLLOWING QUESTIONS USING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE WEEK ONE READINGS. RESPOND TO EACH QUESTION IN 100 TO 200 WORDS USING THE SPACE PROVIDED. QUESTIONS BRIEFLY EXPLAIN THE SEVEN ELEMENTS OF THE SPEECH COMMUNICATION PROCESS. HOW DO THESE ELEMENTS INTERACT TO DETERMINE THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF A SPEECH? The seven elements of the speech communication process are speaker, message, channel, listener, frame of reference, feedback, interference, and situation. The speaker is the person who is presenting the message to the listener(s). The message is what the speaker is communicating to the listener. The channel is the means of how the speaker is communicating the message to the listener. The frame of reference is the totality of the knowledge on the subject being presented, whether it is goals, experience, knowledge, attitudes, etc. No two speakers will ever have the same frame of reference. Feedback is message getting sent back to the speaker from the listener. This feedback is usually nonverbal. Interference is anything that comes between the speaker and the listener and interrupts the communication of the message. The situation is the surroundings in and at which the speech occurs. Why is it normal and even desirable to be nervous at the start of a speech? It is perfectly normal and even desirable to be nervous. Nervousness is a healthy sign that the speaker is mentally prepared for their effort. The nervousness is caused by adrenaline, which is a hormone...

...Speech to Entertain: An Overview The primary purpose of a speech to entertain is to have the audience relax, smile and enjoy the occasion. The speech should have a central theme or a focus. A series of jokes will NOT work well for this type of speech. Good speeches to entertain typically mix humor with more serious morals, lessons learned, or experiences. In other words, they have a real point to make… they are not just silly, slapstick humor. You can tell a lighthearted, personal story that reveals a life lesson you’ve learned or examine a familiar subject from a different and unexpected viewpoint or take a lighthearted look at a particular issue. Example: Summer jobs: “Summer jobs for high schoolers: The daily diary of the American Nightmare.” Additional suggestions for the composition and delivery of after dinner speeches are as follows: 1. Carefully select an interesting, timely, and appropriate topic. Having something familiar in the talk that the audience can relate to will enhance listener interest. 2. Build your speech around a central theme, moral, or idea. 3. Support your main point or central theme with colorful stories, narrative and examples. 4. Be imaginative and creative when delivering your talk. Few speeches demand more imagination and creativity than the speech to entertain. 5. Be positive and good-natured when delivering your talk—irony and sarcasm are acceptable but not bitterness. 6. Be optimistic and modest when speaking and create...

...background and also talked about the specific food, places and shared why this culture values important to us. Since this is a public speaking class assignment, therefore, Jay and other classmates are our intended audience. This is another reason we why we choose our topic because we thought food and traveling around are the things our classmates will be interested. We used Panopto to record our speech as the assignment required. None of my group members used it before but Rohit (our tech guy) took the responsibility to doing all the technology integration besides his own speech part. I am glad that we have actually intended to imagine that what if someone fails to record his or her speech; therefore, we record our individual part separately and combine them together. Hence, even if someone made mistakes, she or he can do it again without ruin other’s speeches. I think we planned ahead well so we used our own time and delivered. It not only saved time but also with less pressure compare to record speech while people are watching you. This is completely different experience to complete group speech by using a mediated tool rather than presenting in the class. I think there are more strengths than challenges. Since we never used it before, so the attempt is already a succeed because there will be a point in the career that we have to it and by that time we won’t be a mess. Secondly, it really reduces time consuming and public speaking pressure due to its flexibility of competency. At...

...on how to avoid common public speaking mistakes, that even experienced speakers sometimes make, and tips on how to master the art of storytelling. The three main types of speeches are the informative, the persuasive, and the special occasion. Before deciding which best suits their purposes, however, speakers should first establish their objective in delivering the speech. Once speakers have the objective clearly established, they are then equipped to make the most suitable choice regarding what type of speech to deliver; however, before making this decision, they must have a clear understanding of the three main types of speeches. As the word “informative” implies, an informative speech “informs” those in attendance by providing them with information. Therefore, the speaker is a teacher, and his or her purpose is to educate the audience regarding a topic; and that topic may be an object, an event, a concept, or a process. Note: Given their visual nature, most informative speeches are more successful if the speaker uses visual aids such as PowerPoint presentations, flip charts, graphs, models, etc. A persuasive speech usually challenges an audience’s beliefs and/or tries to move those in attendance to change existing viewpoints or at least recognize the validity of opposing...

In my opinion, I believe I gave them a convincing speech that my opinion should be followed, and that it was correct. I used a lot of source information to add to my credibility to show that I have facts supporting my side. So in conclusion, I believe I achieved my specific purpose. The introduction of my speech went fairly smoothly. I believed I grabbed the audience’s attention buy relating to a typical situation. Where I went wrong in my speech was when I said we would talk about the myths, but instead I only talked about one. I meant to only talk about one, but I made it sound like I was talking about many. I believe my introduction was successful because I briefly talked about the general overview, but always have room to improve in the wording of how I go about that....
