I really got a lot out of Chapter 12: 'Delivering Your Speech'. All of the concepts discussed here seem like straight forward common sense. And yet, it was good for me to read and review these concepts.
It is my desire to do well in this class, but even more so...it is my deeper wish to improve my communication skills and to become a better public speaker. I find speech preparation much easier than delivery. I am really enjoying extemporaneous speaking...in other words, knowing the topic well enough to deliver the speech to the audience in a more conversational tone.
The concepts from this chapter that I am focusing most on improving in my own speech delivery are avoiding vocalized pauses, articulating, maintaining good posture ( and staying grounded/ not fidgeting) and maintaining good eye contact.
