Favorite Speech

My favorite speech was the demonstration speech.  For this speech I demonstrated how to shoot a bow.  I think it was an excellent type of speech for the first main speech as it gave those who were a tad on the nervous side something to hide behind.  However, I liked it just because I enjoyed having something visual to reference.  I felt that it helped me connect with the audience much more than having just a power presentation or some other kind of media.  I am very experienced with public speaking and have found that the audience tunes in much better at the point that a visual aid is used.  There is so much media used today that I think traditional forms of digital media are mostly washed out and don't help the audience connect.  However, visual aids are something that most of the audience can typically relate to and therefore it does a better job of getting their attention.
