Week 11, Question 1

In watching the speech buddy videos, I actually found a couple ideas and practices that I think will help me in my next speech.  In the chapter 10 videos, I really like how they suggested using the words I, we, you, and us when speaking as a way to better connect with the audience and make sure the speech seems personal to them.  In the chapter 12 videos, I really like how they touched on volume, articulation, and tone.  In my opinion, these things are very important.  If your audience is struggling to hear or understand what you are saying, chances are they are not going to be paying close attention.  In addition, I thought it was a fabulous idea that they mentioned practicing your speech in front of a few friends or a small audience.  I couldn't agree more that this would probably make for a much better presentation.  My children are in for some fun practicing with me in the future :)
