In this speech I wanted to attempt to convey the significant impact that a single teacher, Mr. Smith, had on my life. I had hoped to convey an amount of reverence through the way I spoke about him, and I think I accomplished this to some extent. I feel as though the tone and the way I presented myself in this speech indicated that I held him in high regard, but I certainly could’ve improved my speech through even better posture and applying maybe a bit more emotion than I did. I also feel as though the issues of maintaining eye contact as well as overuse of hand gestures was significantly improved upon in this final version. I also made sure to appear more engaged in the speech itself due to a comment on my dry run that noted how the backdrop (with me obviously laying down in bed with blankets and pillows clearly seen behind me) looked unprofessional. I think that this time I did appear more focused on the speech itself
