List at least 4 of the characteristics of public speaking (ie. message, channel, noise, audience, context, and delivery) that you should be most concerned with in preparing for this speech and explain why.

Answer 1

1. Intrapersonal - speaking to such a large group of my peers will require me to develop a great deal of confidence 2. Social - being the center of attention will help me practice entertaining others in a group setting, thus helping me make friends more easily 3. Academic - preparing for the presentation will help hone my researching skills, and delivering the speech will help me overcome my fear of giving presentations in front of the class 4. Career - learning how to give this sort of informational and motivational presentation may come in handy in a job someday when I have to give a presentation to my boss and coworkers

Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The four of the characteristics of public speaking (ie. message, channel, noise, audience, context, and delivery) that you should be most concerned with in preparing for this speech would be:

1.- Confidence. You must show your confidence to the audience to be trustful.

2.- Be authentic. You don't need to pretend to be someone else. You have to be authentic and use your own style. People want to listen to you and no other person.

3.- Passion. Your message has to be full of passion. You studied and played for that school. You know what it's like to wear your alma mater colors in the uniform, and you know what it takes to win. Well, show it in your speech.

4.- Engage with your audiences using anecdotes. Have two o three good anecdotes for your 5 to 10 minutes speech. Have one serious anecdote, one funny and one passionate. People love to listen to anecdotes and it is a great way to connect.
