She started off by stating what she was speaking on. Then defining it in her own words and how it effect her in life. From the stage of a young girl to the woman she is today.

She was able to keep her audience by giving examples through life and her life. Then making somewhat of humors statements.

Dynamism 3 out of 5

I believe she has great speaking qualities but lacked the luster of interacting with the audience. Also she seemed stiff as if her feet were glued to the ground. If she would have moved around to actually some type of contact with the audience would have been helpful.

What I learned from the speaker.

I learned how to capture the audience from what I seen and didn’t see. how to start off an introduction and ending my last words with a thought or something to leave the viewers with.

TIPS

The best thing I can you as help with your up incoming speeches. To be motivated to give it your all and leave nothing on the table. Also to come up with topics to not lose your train of thought. Think of some jokes to loosen yourself up and your viewers. Give eye contact to every part of the room and always smile.
