1. What did Andrea do well? Be specific

2. What suggestions would you give her?

1. Andrea kept facing the crowd and only looked down a couple times at her notes. She paused like she messed up a couple times but she paused and corrected herself. She felt sad during her speech and started talking after a quick pause. She used a lot of movement with her arms so she didtn look she was just standing there. She was interactive.8)

2. I would tell her that she practice a little more so she could learn to control her emotions. She corrected herself when she knew she was struggling for her next thought. Otherwise she was pretty good.:D

2. What suggestions would you give her?

1. Andrea did a good job of projecting her voice. She also kept her eye contact with the audience, not looking down at her paper too many times. Her not looking down at her paper too much means she had been going over it a few times before her actual speech. Andrea also used hand gestures while she was talking which was good, so she didn't look like a frozen person.

2. One thing I noticed was that Andrea said "um" a lot, which really bothered me. I would suggest that she practice some more on the parts she said "um" so she wouldn't need to say it and then need to look down at her paper or pause to think of what to say next. She also seemed really emotional when she was talking about the stories of the people who recieved organs from donors. Andrea should have practiced some more to become a little less emotional.

Code, nice post! It looks like you put some effort into it. I agree with what you said, but I also noticed that she said "um" a lot. Overall, you pointed out what she did well, and you have good suggestions

good job :)

1. Andrea did a lot of things well. First, she projected her voice, so you could hear her even if you were in the back of the room. Second, she basically memorized most of her speech, so she only had to look down at her notecard a few times. Also, she had a lot of arm movement, so she could get the point across more affectively. Finally, she had  a lot of eye contact which is very good.

2. Andrea said "and" a lot. That threw away the main point. Also, she was way too emotional. That also distracted the audience. Finally, she was talking in monotone, so it was very boring. I suggest saying "and" less, be less emotional and have a variety of tone in her speech.

Good job! I agree with most of your answers. I do not think she said "um" a lot, instead she said "and."

1. Andrea was very good in her speech. She did a great job with her hand movements. The part where she said organs and tissues she was pointing to herself, this was very effective. Also she had amazing eye contact she rarely looked down to see her paper. Andrea also showed her emotions perfectely like she read the speech for the first time. She was very emotianal and overall had a great speech.

2. She also messed up on some stuff such as stopping and looking down at her cards, although she didn't do this often the time she did this was essential. Andrea also said both "and" as well as "um" a lot of times, this hurt her speech. It did not seem to me that Andrea was confident, that was the only reason she stutured and said  "um" and "and" a lot. She knew her whole speech and just messed up a little. Overall great speech!

Great post! I will say the same thing that I said to code, personally I think that emotions are important in a speech. Overall amazing post!

I agree with your post but maybe a few pauses will help the facts sink in to the audience. Overall nice job!

Andrea had the right emotions at the right times and hardly ever stop looking at the crowd. She spoke clearly and when she made mistakes she noiticed them and corrected them.

I would tell her that she needs to memorizie her lines better so that she dosent look down as much but she still did a good job.

Andrea Wade did te best on the the speach because she did not say ummm.... or like often and the thing is that she wanted still wants to have people to be helpful to donate organs.

She speaks loud and clearey and has very good eye contact with her audience, on my point of veiw is that she could convince the world with her speach because she has a lot of people who did their own best to make this work. She said" that a girl who died at the age of 9 she died and that young girl gave her organs to others who needs."

I thought that the poem that young girl it was touching to everone will be forever( I am pretty shur

If everyone being convinced to donate organs they can save many lives.

Andrea did many things well, first of all Andrea alsways looked up at the crowd, a few times she would look for a seconds to look at her notes, but not for to long. dAnother thing that Andrea did good was she had hand movements but not   much so it was not bad. In would also suggest that Andrea fix somethings she said the word "um" alot. I understand that it was a seven minute speech and people stumble at times but maybe a litttle more practicing would help. Also, Andrea needs to learn how to control her emotions. She might have a reason for choosing this topic, however, she had a few very long pauses.Even with these few setbacks, overall this was a great speech.
