Informative Speech Critic

I was very nervous before and during my speech but i felt better when i was finished. I think that my eye contact was not very good because i kept looking at the ceiling or at the ground. I also looked at my notecards too much and became dependent on them. I didnt read off of my powerpoint which was good. I was still a little fidgety but better than last speech. The powerpoint being controlled by someone else was distracting because I had to look at it to make sure that it was on the slide. I tried to use a fact as my hook but I dont think that it was a very good hook. My introduction was good and I tried to explain where it came from. My conclusion was not very strong because it is hard to conclude. Overall I think that I did ok on my speech.

Brown Bag Speech

I think that my speech was overall pretty good. I made eye contact and spoke clearly. I was a little bit fidgety and i said "and" too much. I had a difficult time completing sentences and instead i just connected my thoughts with and. I was a little shakey because I was nervous but I think that that is normal. My standing was good and i didnt pace around. I also used hand gestures and I was not stiff. I showed enthusiasm but I think I can improve on that.
