April 12-18 Speech Buddy

In the videos of chapter 10, what I found interesting was the audience-centered language. With this, the speaker can make the audience feel as if they are part of the speaker and to think that they are in a group. I also did not know that if we use the word we, us, you, and I, it helps make a better environment with the audience. However the bad part about this concept is that it might offend certain individuals. In chapter 12, I thought that the effectiveness of vocal delivery was something that everyone should look at. Although everyone has most of the criteria in this, I still believe that we still stumble on it sometimes. For instance, the rate as a speaker is making a speech; as I was comparing my recent speech and my first one, I seemed to speak really fast on my second speech. The five aspects was also helpful because although these are requirements, some, or even most, of us still have trouble in these aspects. I still have trouble with these aspects, especially eye contact.
