Speech Buddy Videos
Probably the biggest thing that I learned is how much persuasive information you can really fit into five minutes. I was impressed by how much they were able to say, while still speaking slowly and methodically. Both speakers connected with the audience by bringing the subject matter close to home, literally. By talking about homeschooling, the speakers spoke on a subject that most people have had to approach at least once in their life. The speakers were easily able to draw the audience in by making personal. The appeal approach that was used by both speakers was an emotional appeal. By speaking on subject matter that involves one's children, there is automatically an emotional connection. The audience had to consider the well-fare of their children not only scholastically, but socially as well. In an attempt to come to terms with which situation really is best for their child a parent can feel guilty having to recognize the fact that they really may not be doing what is best for their child.

I was also surprised by the amount of information that they put in. They both seemed to know their speeches well enough that they had absolutely no hesitation or pauses anywhere. Even when they stuttered or started with the wrong word, they caught themselves and continued without even thinking about it. They obviously practiced their speeches and researched their topic very well. I have a lot of information that I am planning on using in my speech for next Monday, so hopefully I will have practiced enough to fit everything in to the five to six minutes that we were given.
