Week 3: Discussion#2 (Speech Buddies)

In the first video, Janine suggest that for us to go somewhere quiet where we can practice speaking; afterall, a quiet environment allows the speaker to be more focused and concentrate on what will go right during your presentation and what will go wrong. In the videos, Janine suggests for the speaker to do some simple breathing excersises which will calm one down. I think the excersises are going to be extremely useful throughout this semester.

In video 2.2 , both Janine and Anthony discuss their fears and how every speaker should go visit the place where they are speaking at, they should adapt to it. 

In the video,"Intro: Jessica," I noticed that Jessica had a strong introduction and conclusion, just like Anthony had suggested a speaker should always have. I think I am going to try and do that,that way, I will be able to get the audience interested in what I am talking about and not just have them with their eyes wandering around the room. 

It's like this, if I were to meet Derek Jeter one day, if I were to be in a huge crowd of girls wanting to meet him,well, I would have to try and make a first good and interesting introduction. If he were to see that I am different then the other girls, well then there you go, he'l be interested. :)
