In A1.2, Kyiomi and me, this woman starts her speech by grabbing the audience’s attention with her personal story about playing a character in a play. She explains that this was the most memorable experience of her life. The audience is immediately aware of her theme by her words and her actions.

In, The Rare Phobia, this woman begins with shocking statistics explaining how many different phobias exist. She continues to tell her own personal story about her fear of baseballs. At this point, she defiantly has everyone’s attention in the room with such a shocking phobia. She goes on to provide examples of how severe her phobia is, that she cannot even hold a baseball without that intense fear.

At first, you are wondering what she is leading up to, then she starts to talk about her love for softball and how you can tell so much about her by her glove. She uses the glove through her speech, which is a great visual technique, to keep the attention in the room. She spoke very well and had excellent eye contact. I feel that she did a great job with this speech. She seemed very comfortable and happy while
