Journal #10: my biggest strides
The speech I feel I improved the most on would be my Object of Value speech. I was able to add some extra length to it without being repetitive, which was a concern for my draft. I also felt more confident on the second filming, as I was able to practice and nail what I wanted to say. It was also my first time really prepping an outline and making sure I had myself organized going into it, which helped immensely. One of the biggest improvements was also cutting down on ‘um’ and ‘uh’, as well as big pauses. On re-watching, I could tell that during the stretch from ~1:10 to ~1:25, I really wanted to pause or use fillers, but kept myself from doing so.
Draft here.
Final here.
