So..we had 4-H speech night yesterday and I got second place out of the seniors!! Yeah!! Now on to districts!! Wow, I really did not think I would do so well.
From looking at the comments and talking to the judges, I learned that there are still a few things that I need to improve on my speech. For one thing, I need to look up more. Wow, I must of been REALLY nervous because when I practiced I looked up A LOT! I also could slow it down a bit.
I also need to practice impromptu speaking which really sucked for me. The club topic was "What Would You Do If You Won The Lottery?" I had like no idea (although I'm thinking of great ideas now lol) My intro was great but then I was just like "I don't know. That is the end of the speech" My dad said it was the only time he'd ever seen me short of words to say!
Since my speech was about auditions, the judge suggested I pretend that my impromptu was an audition. Haha, she also said I could finish my speech singing a song..lol...maybe not
I need to remember though with every success in life to be humble and not look down on others. I have found humility to be a very good thing to have. Not only is pride something God hates, but it also DOES hurt us. I know that very well! Not saying I will never be concieted again..just saying that I'm trying not to be.
Gotta run!

Oh, sounds like you did good! It is good to know what your audience feels you should work on, though.
ReplyDeleteI personally feel I'll never be able to give a speech. My nervousness would be just... impossible. :D
