I personally think this speech went well. I did 2 takes of it, and while in my second take the eye-contact was a little off, I felt like I was clear and articulate. I said the points I wanted to say, and was able to be concise with my wording. The run time was 3 minutes, a good sweet spot, and I honestly believe it was a good version. I didn’t use a lot of ums or uhs, I didn’t take big pauses, and I used an outline to make sure I stayed cohesive. I truly believe that the biggest issue was simply with eye contact, which has been hard for me this class. I tend to look at the Zoom box I am recording in to trick my brain into thinking I am talking to someone, rather than looking at the camera light above my computer, which gives the illusion of no eye contact. Adjusting to giving a speech over Zoom and having to compensate for eye contact was weird, and while I’m not perfect, I do think I improved with it over the course.
