Speech Anaylsis


Before I watched my speech I knew I would have alot of things I would need to work on so after watching it, it didn't surprise me how poorly I did. As I stood up in front of the class giving my presentation I fumbled around with my words alot, this was because of multiple reason besides the nervous I believe that if I was more prepared and actually planned it out better it would of came together more efficiently. I also believe if I would of prepared in advance instead of procrastinating it would of helped me with eye contact instead of me looking down at the ground alot. On a good note I did make the audience laugh which always helps with the nervous.

Plan of Action

I have chosen to sit in on an Army Rangers Meeting that occurred today. I was able to take pictures, video and notes to help me put together my essay. The reason I'm interested in this group is because they consist of members of ROTC and focus on strengthening tactics, land navigation, and other skills needed to be an effective leader in the United States Army.

Mini Scene Depiction


You can feel the excitement in the room from the moment Ray Lewis walks in the locker room, from the cheering to the jumping and hollering. This shows how the players are responding to his presence and you can tell that Ray Lewis is a professional just by the way he is dressed, you don’t have to know his background as a Hall of Fame career Middle Linebacker. So when Ray Lewis starts his speech you can see all the attention focused on him, all the players attitudes change from excited to focused all their attention is honed in on Ray Lewis himself. They are so quiet you could hear a pin drop. They are listening to this legends speech because he has been there before. He has been in a win or go home situation and knows what it takes to come home with a victory. As Ray Lewis gives his speech you can feel the emotion building in the room through his words and tone of voice and as he nears the end of his speech the players begin to get hyped up and begin chanting the team motto. At the end of the speech you can tell that Ray Lewis accomplished what he came to do and that was to get them hyped up and get them mentally ready  to go out and win the game.
