    I attended a seminar at the business school last year called the Midwest Undergrad Business Summit where many very talented speakers spoke. However, Dr. Laplante stood out to me. He gave a speech on capitalisms. The first thing I noticed about him was his clear passion for the topic. It had been a very long and busy day and he somehow got me to listen to every word he spoke. I believe this was because of his passion for the subject and his tone of voice. Dr. Laplante on average talks louder than…

    When I first heard that we were going to be doing another speech I honestly was not happy about it at all because like many of you I was ready for school to be done for the summer. I began to think about it though and instantly I had three books that popped into my head and I thought that this assignment was not going to be hard. The three books that came to mind was: Coming Back Stronger: Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity written by Drew Brees, Friday Night Lights written by Buzz…

    discuss stuttering they are only referring to the motor movements involved in speech. When in reality, this is only the “tip of the icecberg.” Other components such as fear, shame, guilt, anxiety, hopelessness, isolation, and denial need to be address during therapy.

    I delivered the ‘Informative Speech’ speech on October 19, 2015. As I was delivering the speech, I noticed that I had strengths with visual aids, a clear presentation, and content. I also had weaknesses with my speaking pace and nervousness. What I did well: Before giving the speech, I looked over my notecards so I would not forget what I would say during the speech. I had a clear visual aid with most of my key facts up on a PowerPoint. This helped me because I could focus on the audience rather…

    I had a really fun experience preparing for and constructing my Informative speech. The format of the speech is great because it lets the students select a topic that they are interested in and allows them to talk about a topic they are passionate about. I choose the topic of Landsmeer Golf Club because it was interesting for me to gain even more knowledge on a topic that I was familiar with. When preparing for my speech, I started off making a rough draft outline, and also making a bibliography…

    from one point to the other was very smooth and clear. A good concluding statement was in the speech, but the speaker did not summarize all the points that she presented. The speaker did make good eye contacts with the audience; however, there were few filler words. Furthermore, she used her visual aids very well because her visual aids were interesting and were presented at a good timing. Also, her speech was done in given amount of time. Overall, I would give this speaker a grade of 19 because…

    What I think I did well: I think I played long notes well and extended the notes to their full value, for example, in measures 6-8 I didn’t pause in between the half notes. I also think I articulated well because at the slurs I didn’t tongue and on the notes without slurs, I remembered to tongue them. There are many measures in the song where there are slurs, but in measure 5 I slurred the first three notes and tongued the last one. Most of the time, I didn’t breathe in between notes until…
