When I was watching the speech buddy videos, I thought, damn I could have used these last time around. I took a speech class before, and even though I did alright, I didn't do well enough. A lot of stuff I have been able to apply to this class, to do even better. One of the things that I've been doing, is just now being brought up. Such things like pacing and your wording.
When I give my speeches, they are never the same twice. I use to write the outline, then write the speech, and then try to regurgitate it verbatim. It worked 50% of the time.
Now, I make an outline and play it by ear. I add tons of detail in my outline and topics I can cover. Then, if have extra time, I may emphasize. If I run low on time, I can cut things out. Allowing for this variability, I can better adapt to the situation that I am presented with.
