Informative Speech

The informative speech was my absolute favorite. I think that is was my favorite because expressing my own liking of a certain topics has always been easy. For most of us, feeling comfortable is best when we talk about something or someone was are passionate about. I felt that being able to speak about my own passion is so much easier than demonstrating or even persuading. I felt that persuading is a lot more difficult but talking about a person that I find influential is much less of a task. The informative speech was also fun research about and piece together. I had a lot more fun in not having to show something with my hands but express my liking to a topic of some sort. I also enjoyed hearing about other people and their topics and what in a sense fueled their passion. For any one, I think talking about something that the speaker is knowledgeable makes it easier to feel calmer and less nervous.

Hello Penny B:

I enjoyed reading your post regarding the discussion question. It's funny because the informative speech was my least favorite one. I found it difficult to keep from making the presentation persuasive and this cost me tremendously. One of the things that also hurt was that I did not have a particular interest in my topic, which made it a real task to research and present. Your informative speech, on the other hand, was nearly perfect. I really enjoyed your presentation about Walt Disney/Disneyland. You are a great public speaker and I wish you much success in all of your future endeavors.
