After watching my speech I learned several things about my public speaking abilities. The first thing I learned is that I need to prepare more for my speeches. Before this speech I did not prepare nearly as well as I should have. I only ran threw a couple times before doing the speech. I also next time need to get rid the note cards entirely. The note cards although they provide a sense of security but without them the speech is much more professional and flows a lot better. During my speech I did not even use them very much, in fact it felt awkward and uncomfortable to hold them and when I looked down with them I would lose almost all my momentum. Also I need to work on slowing down and developing my points. In my speech I did not go into as much detail as I wanted to. I barely talked about my career and I did not even mention the kind of doctor I wanted to be. I also need to watch my time more. I went under the time which is not excusable. There is no way that speech should have been under three minutes. I also need to look around more in my speech. My eye contact was sub par I kept staring in the same places and alienated a large portion of the audience. I feel that I have a lot to work on for my next speech and it will be better.
