Different speaking styles were showcased in the speeches we watched today. The first speech, "Everyone is Free to Wear Sunscreen," is unique in that the speaker seems to be unattached to his topic. However, I was interested the entire time because the speaker kept speaking and I wanted to know what he was going to say next. The second speech by Zach Wahls was very different and I was able to follow along more easily. Zach's voice and emotion seem to change during his speech. At times he speaks loudly and angrily. Other times he seems nostalgic and calm, but all the time his is very invested in his speech. The third speech was given by Obama and it was personally my favorite speech. Obama's speech is dynamic; at some points it is humorous, sometimes serious and other times personal. Obama pauses in appropriate places to give the audience time to absorb what he has said or time to understand the humour. I like speeches that are humorous but also serious because the topic is important but the humour interests me. I believe Obama would best deliver my speech because he uses humour in a way that is interesting and he vividly describes his personal examples. I also use personal examples from life in America that I think Obama would deliver well.
Additionally, there was a variety of different content in these speeches. Each speaker delivered their speech on a unique topic but they all had sufficient examples and details to back up their beliefs. The first speaker did not use research to back up his statements but he gave a relatable speech that made you think about little things in life. Strictly when thinking about content, the "Everyone is Free to Wear Sunscreen" was my favorite. The second speech about gay marriage was very personal. A speech like that which in which one talks specifically about their life and what something means to them usually keeps an audience interested because the speaker is putting themselves out in the open, which is not easy to do. Lastly, Obama gave the most traditional speech. He used a combination of personal examples, statistics, and his goals for the country in order to persuade people that he truly was the right person for president. He was successful as he has made it to his second term in the White House.
These three speeches were very different but they each had something to teach. I can see that you do not necessarily need to deliver the most energetic, passionate speech in order to deliver a great speech.
