My reaction to this Informative Speech was much more nerve wrecking then my first speech. I was all glittery forgot words, sentence and what I prepared for the speech I mixed everything up. Standing in front of the class is horrifying to me. This speech made me think about what to inform my audience about that may catch their attention. For my informative speech, I choose to research the topic of Volcanoes in Nicaragua because I find it very interesting. Such a beautiful place to visit and my experience is where the idea evolved from. I chose to do this topic because my partner is from Nicaragua and I have seen very interesting sites, experienced and the history that the country beholds is breathe taking . I knew that Nicaragua had active volcanoes and at the volcanoes there were adventurous and different tours. Throughout my informative speech I explained how the volcanoes in Nicaragua are formed in a chain North and South of Nicaragua. I also went into detail on the adventurous that can be done at the top of the Volcanoes like hiking, skiing and site seeing. Overall, I felt that my informative speech was fairly successful. There were quite a few reasons why I thought why my speech was an effective speech. By providing my audience with information on things to do at the Volcanoes in Nicaragua. First, I felt that my subject was relevant to my audience because everyone likes to travel and the majority of the audience likes the adrenaline of being adventurous and experiencing the thrill of being on an exotic country. I felt that I was able to connect to my audience. Having everyone’s attention and wondering how exciting and interesting it is to explore the adventures on an active volcanoes is a once in a life time experience. But, because I did not simply read from my notecards as a robot, I felt that it was, instead, more conversational, like if I were simply telling my experience and research on this informative project. And last but not least, in order to present an informative speech, one must truly and honestly have faith in the topic that their presenting. Because the topic of my speech has truly impacted an experience on my life, I felt that I was able to speak passionately about the experience and adventure on the Volcanoes of Nicaragua. In my opinion, this made my speech, somewhat of a success. There are, nonetheless, a few areas in which I feel that I need to improve. From the start, I felt that my audience thought that my speech could have been more powerful and well organized. According to the feedback on my evaluation, I made excellent eye contact, spoke clearly and projected my voice throughout the speech. I also provided awesome visual aids. I enjoyed this assignment; I enjoy anything that allows me to broaden my horizons by learning new information. Having researched the topic made it easy to organize my presentation and deliever a great speech.
