Im Sick And Tired Of Competitive Fan At Sporting Events

1060 Words5 Pages

The Topic of my speech was: "I'm sick and tired of Competitive Fans at sporting events."

I was determined to be prepared for my first speech so I decided to start writing my speech a week earlier. By doing this it helped me in a huge way. I had time to make adjustments by using the correct words and even adding a scenario that would hopefully give the audience an idea of how I came up with the subject. This also gave me time to memorize my speech and put more emotion into it, that way I can show my audience I was serious about my subject.

Then I realized that just adding more words would make me speak faster because I would be worried over not finishing due to the excessive amount of writing. The way I solved this problem was by actually going over my speech several times, but reading at a slower pace. So when I actually present the speech, I would get used to the slower pace. Then, my audience could understand my speech without being confused in the overall subject. Being nervous before a speech is totally normal but the best way to help is by taking a few deep breaths and slowing
