Book Presentation Reflection

1 group Hannah Wallace                  The book presented, “Public Speaking: Evolving Arts,” is overall a guide for understanding the fundamentals and practices of effective public speaking. It gave me a sense of not only how to deliver an efficient speech but also the significance of engaging with my audience.

Meanwhile, taking in all of it   several concepts stood out to me.    Connecting With The Audience              I noticed throughout the presentation the connection my classmates made with the audience. Although some were nervous, including myself, filler words can be distracting to your audience.

My group presented chapters one, two, three, and five. My group member Angelinee Castro and I covered chapter one, discussing the general importance of public speaking. The influences it has, and how it is a life skill. We went over skills that develop because of public speaking, such as communication skills and speaker credibility. This chapter also touched on the spheres of communication and how we use them every day. Then, Angellie Martinez presented chapter two, which focused on speech anxiety. Angellie gave good points on how to build confidence, including relaxation techniques and how to prepare for public speaking. I definitely plan to use these techniques to feel ready for speeches.

Angellie Martinez Group 1  Hello, my name is Angellie Martinez, and today I will be talking about all the chapters that were presented. Starting off with Chapter 1, presented by Angelinee. The importance of public speaking provides many opportunities to improve your communication skills. It helps to gather your thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Public speaking can help you throughout many opportunities and also face your fears. Speech anxiety is one of them, and chapter 2 shows what you can do to overcome those fears. I talked about what you can do in order to not struggle with anxiety and hope it helps other people because I know it works for me when I'm nervous. A lot of speakers fear they are getting judged, and that's what causes them to make mistakes during their presentations. I like how Camila brought up how you should be listening to the speaker and appreciate what they are talking about. Hannah mentioned a lot of important details about figuring out who your audience is. ...
