Speech Buddy Videos
In video 2.2 it mentioned about choosing a topic that you like, that would make it easier to talk about since it’s something you like. I think it makes sense that a speaker should be interested in the topic they’re going to give a speech about. I recall back in high school where everyone was forced with topic they didn’t care about and had to present it. On the day of presentation everyone just presented with no enthusiasm and it was just something everyone wanted to do it and get it over with. Jessica from the video looked really happy when she was giving the speech. Like the other videos mentioned using positive thinking and rejecting negative thoughts can help a person feel better about giving their speech. From the videos I learned that choosing topics you like will make it easier to talk about and using positive thinking.

Choosing a topic that you enjoy and find interesting is crucial when it comes to speeches. Not only can affect the way you give a speech but it also can affect the preparation you do for that speech. I had a similar situation like yours where I had a speech topic that I really had no interest and was not inspired at all to do any research on it. I put it off to the last minute and was rushing to get a speech put together in time for the day I was to deliver it. Speech day came and I was tired, which read on my face, and not only was I bored with the topic but my classmates were too. I put myself in a lose-lose situation.
