Persuasive Speech Self-Critique A persuasive speech is a specific type of speech in which the speaker has a goal of convincing the audience to accept his or her point of view. When giving my persuasive speech I believe that I had a lot of strengths and only a few weaknesses. After reviewing the video of my speech, I am clear to a lot. If I get better at my weakness my speeches will become excellent. I know what my weaknesses are, now I must practice where I have problems and fix my trouble areas. I definitely have many positive aspects of my presentation but there were a few aspects that I could fix. I have set my goals for my next speech, now I must get there. After reviewing what my peers have told me and watching the recording of my speech, I see where my presentation shines and where it has its downfalls and now that I am clear to this I have set my goals of what I want my speech to be. My biggest weakness I have is the fact that I burry myself into my notecards when I should be looking at the audience much more. I am clear to my weakness and this gives me the opportunity to fix it. This has been my main weakness in all of my speeches but I believe I am getting better. Practice makes perfect and that is what I must continue to do. I also noticed an issue with my presentation. When giving my speech and changing the slides of my presentation, I could have done a better job making sure the slide was correctly in line with the speech. I must fix this because it can be very misleading and confusing to the audience. I must practice and master the timing of the presentation for the next speech I give. I definitely have my weakness but the fact that I know what and where they are gives me the opportunity to fix them. The strengths of my speech are definitely there and I believe every time I give a speech the more strengths I gain. I believe I was very persuasive in my speech and I did a good job convincing the audience of my topic. I was very calm and spoke at a loud tone for the whole classroom to hear, which is very important. I think I used my hands in a very beneficial way. I have set a goal to make it so that I make much more eye contact with the audience and look at my notecards a lot less. This is a very achievable goal and it will make my speech so much greater. Every speech I give, my strengths grow and grow and now I have the goal to make my speeches so much more. I have learned a great deal about myself from giving speeches and then watching myself give the speech. I have my strengths and I have my weaknesses, but now I have my goal. My one biggest problem with my speech is the fact that I do not make much eye contact with the audience and my goal is to fix this. I believe I must practice a lot to make this happen but I know I can do it.
