Week 8, Question 1

In the speech buddy videos 9.1 and 9.2, the second one in both examples seemed to have the most downfalls, in my opinion.  In 9.1, the second intro was very busy and unclear.  This would confuse the audience and I  didn't hear a clear thesis or purpose.  In 9.2, the second example, the eye contact was lacking and the speakers voice was very monotone and there was no clear ending to me.  In 13.1A, Evan had erratic eye contact when he started out.  It seemed to me that there was no clear theses and he didn't clearly state his points that I heard.  I wasn't sure if he was speaking on what techno was, or how it was created, or all of the above.  I also thought he should have played samples for the audience so they could relate better.  It was a very uninteresting topic unless he was speaking to a music class.  Most people in a general audience could not relate to the information he was providing.  In the 13.1B video, she was more geared to a general audience.  Though I did not hear her clear thesis (purpose) or her 3 points, she had a cure ending.  In the USE IT video, man that girl was a mess.  She had poor eye contact and was speaking way to fast! It seemed like she should have practiced way more.  She was also very unfamiliar with the language she was trying to use and she stumbled quite a bit.  I was also unclear of her exact purpose and I heard her mention 2 points versus 3 in the beginning but then somewhere in the middle she mentioned 3.  Poor thing.  She was a wreck.
