Advanced Public Speaking

Week 1: The Introduction Speech

Because this is Advanced Public Speaking, this type of speech should be super easy for you! But, let’s add some fun to this speech. Let’s try to not do the regular introduction speech. Let’s add something to it. So, go ahead and state the basics (name, age, hobbies, etc.), but add something exciting and fun to your speech. The total speech time should be 3–5 minutes in length, so you have plenty of time to tell a great story. You could tell about a time you were super embarrassed, or you could tell about an incredible gift you received, or an awesome vacation you went on. You choose! Present this speech to friends and family and get their reactions.
