While I am not positive what I will do my speech on, but I think something on mental health would be good, since it’s a topic thats important to me and a big issue in todays society. I will probably spend most of my time practicing, since I don’t do a lot of speeches or presentations these days.
In this speech, Wendy Troxel does a good job of engaging with her audience. The entire time she’s speaking, she’s looking around the room, making eye contact with her audience and gesturing towards them. While she’s talking about the struggle of waking her teenage son up, her tone sounds empathetic towards him and other teenagers that don’t get enough sleep.
