CH 5. Speech Buddies

I think that the most challenging type of speech is a persuasive speech because you’re trying to get people to see your side of the subject without stepping on anyone’s toes. In the “Drinking” speech the guy had a lot of facts and great slides that must of took a lot of time to make and put the statistics together. Also the he compared the statistics with the class which I thought was a very good way to apply it to everyone so they know how important it is to drink in moderation. The only complaints I have is that his tone was very mellow and he didn’t make eye contact or try to get the audience involved either. I felt like I was being lectured for the most part. I liked how the girl who did the “volunteer” speech voice rose and fell like a rollercoaster ride. She looked like she memorized her content enough that she didn’t need to check her notes so much either and that was a 7 min + speech
