Question: Speech Buddy: Review the following Interactive Videos, 11.1 and 11.2 on the Interactive Video Website. Respond to the ideas in the videos. What did you learn that could be helpful in your next speech?
After watching the speech buddy videos, 11.1 and 11.2 about using visuals in a speech, I feel that I have a more developed knowledge on how to put together and even deliver my speech with visuals. In the speech buddy video 11.1 they discussed the importance of making powerpoint slides simple, and this is something I was take under consideration. From hearing many different speeches in my lifetime with powerpoints I could see where some individuals have lacked on this aspect of simplicity. From having slides that are too overwhelming I would tune out a speaker on occasions, or even tune them out all together.
From the speech buddy video 11.2 I witnessed different variations of visuals and how to utilize them. My favorite type of visual is the powerpoint, simply because I feel i can make it look the cleanest out of any other type. The other kind of visual I would consider using would have to be the large posters, as used in the speech about “eye chips”. I think this method is also effective because it’s big enough for the audience to see, a speaker will just have to make all pictures or words large enough. Overall, from both speech buddy video’s I have learned that when it comes to creating visuals one must make them simple and large enough for the audience to see.

Jayme,
Simplicity is very important when using visuals and powerpoint slides to help enhance your speech. All the videos helped me understand how to simplify as well as have efficient slides. When I used to put power point together, I would use all the sound effects and slide changes. Doing this is very distracting and can take away from your speech. Other visuals that you might consider are hand outs. These can help but can also become distracting if given out at the wrong time. Posters are great visuals but I have always been distracted by them because they can often fall over or roll up. Powerpoint is the easiest to use and looks the best and that is why I will use this and one other visual for my next speech. Good luck with yours!
