Also, her focus on reading her speech prevents her from looking up and forming a connection with the audience. Because she reads her speech from the paper, her voice can be quite monotone at times. The speaker has to read her speech verbatim, which shows she did not practice enough to know the topic and just use speaker notes. In the "mediocre" speech, the presenter tightly clutches the podium and stares down at the paper on which her speech is written. This becomes abundantly clear when comparing the way the speaker presents herself in the "mediocre" speech versus the "good" speech. The speaker's delivery shapes the audience's experience when listening to a speech. The prominenceof the attention grabber and the clear organization of the "good" speech had a positive impact on listeners and made the introduction memorable. The impact of the forgettable and hard to follow "mediocre" speech is that it could give the audience the impression the speaker is ill prepared and unknowledgeable. Overall, the "good" speech had an easy to follow natural progression and was written in the standard outline of a speech, while the "mediocre" speech left us confused on how the speaker organized and was going to present the speech. The "mediocre" speech presented precise points to guide the organization and smoothly transitioned from introduction to paragraph number one. Lastly, the "mediocre" speech failed to clearly state three points that would be covered in the speech and lacked a transition connecting the introduction with the first paragraph. The speaker in the "good" speech telling audience members a practical reason why this speech impacts them makes them listen because if they are already using this product they want to know how it affects the body. The presenter in the "good" speech correctly uses the sentences following her attention grabber to make it clear that she is familiar with essential oils and has been using them for years, and listeners should be interested because, they too, have been unknowingly using essential oils in a range of daily products. In the couple sentences after the attention grabber the speaker in the "mediocre" speech never establishes why she is qualified to present information on essential oils to her audience, but rather she introduces an irrelevant fact about the revenue produced by the essential oil market. The attention grabber for the "good" speech makes the audience listen because the speaker seems upbeat and well-informed on the topic. Comparatively, the woman presenting the "good" speech started with an impactful quote that introduced her topic, but more importantly, she makes eye contact with the audience and speaks with enthusiasm. This vague introduction does not grab listeners' attention and make them quickly uninterested. Furthermore, she references a quote in the beginning but does not give the quote. The speaker of the "mediocre" speech starts with "Hi ummm," which immediately presents as if she is unprepared and lacks knowledge on the topic. In comparison, the "good" speech immediately captivates listeners with a pertinent quote, reasons why the audience should be interested, and background proving the speaker is qualified to present the subject.
The "mediocre" speech lacks an attention grabber,credibility statement, and organization. The introduction forms the audience's initial opinion of a speaker and is responsible for creating interest and establishing a clear pattern for the speech.
