Self-Introduction Speech COM115
1 Jodie Bowers
Objectives:
1.
To allow students to introduce themselves to the class
2.
To provide students with an easy, comfortable, first speaking
experience in the public speaking class
3.
To introduce students to the process of speech making and
presenting
Speech Details:
In preparation for this speech, select an object that represents
a significant aspect of your cultural background,
personality, values, ambitions, etc. Using the chosen object as
a starting point, you should develop a speech that
explains how it shows who you are and how it relates to your
life.
For example: A new father/mother might select a
diaper/bottle/baby blanket as a vehicle for discussing his/her
new identity as a parent. An avid tennis player might select a
tennis racket to illustrate her passion about the
sport and how that passion shapes her personality. Or an artist
might pick a paint brush to represent how she
expresses herself and her ideals through painting.
The purpose of this speech is not to explain the object in
detail, but to use it as a vehicle for
the speaker to introduce herself or himself to the class. In
other words, use this item as a
helpful visual aid to tell your story to the class.
Organizational Guidelines:
Speech must have an introduction, body, and conclusion (see
outline)
In this course, we will practice extemporaneous style.
o Plan to speak from brief notesnot a word-for-word
manuscript
o Eye contact equates to a much more successful presentation
o
Plan when and how you will use your object, or visual aid in
your presentation.
Dont just set it to the side and forget about it until the
end.
Practice your speech several times before presentation day.
o Know how long your speech is
o
Practice eye contact
o
Be comfortable with the flow of your main points
o
Refrain from memorizing your speech word for word
Instead memorize your talking points
The speech must be 3-5 minutes, with 10 seconds forgiveness
either side.
Speech Day Guidelines:
Wear clothing appropriate for your audience and occasion. You
will be standing.
Turn in a typed outline (developed based on the sample
provided).
Please use a video recording device that creates a clear picture
with audible volume.
