I think this week’s speech is better than last weeks. For me the one thing I can see obvious improvement on is the connection to the audience. I think I made better eye contact in this Speech compared to last weeks. I paid more attention to the camera and made a better connection through my body language and movement too.

I also did some serious rearranging and altercations to my speech because I felt like I wasn’t teaching anything in my first one, just describing Tahitian. So in the final I went more in depth in beginner moves and explained some important rules. I think that also adds another element of connection.

The only thing I didn’t like and think I can improve on is my movement. I was rocking back and forth a couple of times and it was really distracting for me, so I can’t imagine what it would feel like for the audience. When I start talking sometimes I subconsciously rock my body, which is something I need to be more aware of in the future.

Overall I see an improvement personally from last week, but I also understand I have a long way to go still. However, feeling like you improved helps you notice other weaknesses in the future.
