My demonstration speech on how to make puppy chow didn’t go too bad. I think that there were definitely things that I could work on, but I also think that there were some good things in my speech too.
I wasn’t kidding when I said puppy chow takes only five minutes to make! My speech was only three minutes and forty-six seconds. Going into the speech I didn’t know how much material I could have for making puppy chow. When I was practicing my speech I had timed myself to be at least 5 minutes. I think during my speech I cut part of my planned intro out. I think I could have added some filler information into my speech. This filler information could have been like the history of puppy chow. Another thing I think I could have worked on would be my voice. I think I could have spoken a little louder and had my voice less monotonous. I might have been swaying a little bit too much. I also caught myself with my hand in my pocket at the beginning of my speech, but I corrected that right away.
There were some things that I thought were good about my speech. I looked confident when I was up in front of everyone. I wasn’t shaking or anything like that. I thought I used good hand motions when appropriate. I thought my steps were well explained, maybe I could have repeated them, but otherwise I could have. My talking speed seemed pretty good, not too fast, and not too slow. Another thing that was good was that my props seemed well placed.
If I could have changed one thing about my speech, it would have been to bring in a microwave to actually show how to make puppy chow. That way my speech would have actually taken longer to make. Overall though I thought my speech wasn’t too bad, just a little short.
