  What I Learned From the Presentations Yamilet De Leon Hi everyone! My name is Yamilet De Leon, and I am a student at Miami Dade College. Before taking this public speaking class, I honestly thought public speaking was mostly about standing in front of people and talking about a topic. I knew that I could get nervous when I had to speak in front of other people, and when I get nervous I usually start talking really fast because I just want to finish and get it over with. After watching all four presentations, I realized that there is actually a lot more that goes into giving a good presentation. Each presentation taught me something different, and I feel like I can use some of these things in my own speeches. The first presentation was about the basics of public speaking and understanding your audience. One thing that stood out to me was learning that you are not going to be perfect the first time you give a speech. I think this is something I needed to hear because I can someti...

In the first presentation , the speakers focused mainly on the basics of public speaking and understanding your audience. Something that...

Overall, I really enjoyed the presentations and liked seeing how everyone was able to present their topics in their own unique way. To start, I want to say that I enjoyed the presentations a lot. I liked the way that everyone was able to present their topics in their own unique way. Even though we were all doing presentations for the same class, everyone had a different style and their own way of getting their message across and connecting with the audience. I thought it was interesting because it showed me that there is not just one way to give a great presentation. Everyone has their own way of speaking, expressing themselves, and explaining things in order to keep their audience interested. One of my favorite things that I ...

In this blog, I will be sharing what I have learned from the different presentations in my public speaking class, as well as my own experience presenting.
