For my demonstration speech, I chose to teach the class how to prepare a fruit smoothie. I think this speech went really well and I was able to fulfill all of the requirements for this assignment. When I first introduced my topic, I felt I did a good job of showing how being able to make a "healthy and simple" breakfast was relevant to my audience consisting of all college students. Throughout the speech, I also thought that it was well organized and easy to follow. I went through and explained each step, and then proceeded to perform whatever task I needed to perform to complete the step and move on to the next.
I was pretty comfortable in front of the class, so I think that I spoke clearly and with good volume so everyone in the audience could hear and understand me. Although it's hard to get excited about making a fruit smoothie, I think that my enthusiasm was relatively decent too. My eye contact was consistent and good, and although I couldn't see myself on tape, I believe that my body language was pretty relaxed and comfortable as well. I was able to effectively demonstrate how to make a smoothie to the class and my visual aid, I think, was easy to see and the process was easy to follow.
I would definitely choose the same topic again. I think that it was definitely a topic that was relevant and was easy and fun to make. I believe my visual aid and my speech were both good and wouldn't have really changed anything about either of them, but if I were to re-do my speech, I think that I would have cut some of the strawberries up in class instead of bringing them all cut up before class. I think that this would have added a little bit more of a visual interest to my speech and enhanced my visual aid. Overall though, I am happy with how my speech came out and I thought I was able to successfully demonstrate how to make a fruit smoothie.
