  2. did well - seems very calm and collected, good use of hand gestures, pauses between sentences, paces back and forth, emphasizes key words and phrases, engages audience

    did not do so well - confusing slides but they probably wouldn't be confusing if we could hear him so he pretty much nailed it

  5. I think this was probably a good speech because he received a standing ovation at the end. It appeared that he a had a good speech presence and took his time. He included effective visuals, calm composure, and good stage presence.

  6. The speaker uses hand motions/signals whenever he is talking. He also refers to his visuals but doesn't stare at them for too long. Another thing I noticed was that he walks around the stage very confidently and commands the attention of the audience. He also smiles/laughs a little bit to ease the tension in the room.

    He didn't rely too much on slides.
    He had some gestures, and he walked from one side to the other side of the stage.

    His slides didn't interest me.

  8. The speaker did a good job of moving around and using his hands to get his point across. Also, the audience reacted very well to what he was saying. He seemed to be speaking clearly and passionately.

  9. Good- gestures emphasized his points, keeps his body language open, his powerpoint wasnt used as a crutch, walked with purpose
    Bad- even though the rest of his body was moving, his face was not always animated

  12. Good: confident, not stagnant, uses hand movements, talks to entire audience, got audience into it by making them laugh, and uses hands to show examples (count).
    Bad: seems like he didn't rehearse it, almost moves around too much, kind of awkward, and checks watch.
    Overall, it seems like it was a good speech. This man had the audience involved, he was making them laugh and got a standing ovation. All these things were probably due to his confidence and use of his hands and the stage. This man looks like he has given plenty of speeches.

    1. He looked up at the audience the whole time
    2. Had one word up on the powerpoint
    3. Made the audience interested (they were laughing)
    4. Dressed nice
