Second Speech

  

Genre, Motivational and inspirational speech 

Little League World Series Ending speech 

• Introduction, Today I am going to explain the Motivational and Inspirational Speech genre.  

• The reason why I chose this speech because I played baseball on a little league team. I was playing baseball from elementary school to high school. My coach is last speech was memorable and impressed me at that time. For example, when I was elementary school student, we joined a baseball competition. Then, we lost 4-5 at the last championship game, so our all team members were crying  The coach told us, "We were a great team. Don't cry. We lost the game, but you guys got best friends. Life is long, keep working hard on anything like practicing baseball. Don't forget this challenge and sadness." He brought us up to the next level.  
• I chose one specific example of the coach speech. The coach  always uses motivational and inspiring speech.  
• Pre-game, end of the game, and after practice.  

• Body, Then, I am going to explain about the motivational genre.  

•  A Motivational and inspirational speech are energetic, supportive, loud, cheerful, optimistic, encouraging and positive. This speech usually is used pre-game, end of a game, after practicing.  
• The coach rewards the best players in the game to raise a motivation. The player would have more confidence and keep high motivation. Other players would think "I also want to be admired." 
• Other examples are a sales manager, captain, and teacher. 
• Similarities are cheerful and supportive. For example, they would say " we can do it. and we can be successful. 
• Repeat and emphasize what he wants to say 
• Common phrase For example, 

We can do it! I'm so proud of you! Just do it! 

Good Job!! A student that you tutor got a good grade on her test 

Keep up the good work. Your team won a match and everyone played well. 

• Explain what is good and bad for the team.  
• Why people use this speech because remove the fear and nervous.  
• Moving and use the body. set location on the ground, so don't need to move around the place, but should use a hand gesture to get the coach main point understand. 

• Moves Then, I am going to show you the video. 
•  This team lost the game 8-7. 12-10 hits. They are sitting circle.   

• Using eye contact. The coach sees each player's eye and speak calm and slowly.   
• Body language ( hand gesture) The coach spread his arm then show the whole group. He was half-standing on the ground because he wanted to tell his word fully.  
• Facial expression, The coach's face serious, cry, and calm.  
• Making the circle and hug together. 

• Conclusion. In conclusion,  

• I think this speech genre is very important in that situation. I still remember what coach said to us when I played baseball elementary school. He said " Don't give up" when we are losing the game. 

Start, Stop, and Continue (Elevator Pitch)

Start 

• Writing outline more clear to tell simply. I thought some part of my speech was unclear. I felt they didn't understand.   
• To speak more louder. I think all of classmate couldn't hear my voice. I need to speak more clear and more louder.  
• Having more passion about the topic. I had my passion about my speech, but after I saw other classmate speech, I thought I need to search more information about it. 
• Practicing the speech before I start. I practicing more than 20 times. I felt I need more practice before I start my speech because I couldn't say clearly. I sometimes stopped during my speech.  Also, I looked note card more than 5 times.  
• I need to consider my main point before I write outline. I thought my main point is clear, but it isn’t. I need to ask my main point is clear or not. Then I should improve my speech.  
• Using appropriate language. My speech was talking to Japanese Prime Minister, so I used more polite words in my speech. I should think more carefully to use polite words. For example, I want to and I would like to. I don't say "like" to respectful person. 
• Being more specific my speech. I thought my information is specific, but I think I need to say more specific. Give more example and using more statistics. I used statistics which is population of Japan and child educational cost, but I think it doesn't effect my speech as well. I should say more good and related information and interesting thing.Having a good balance of data as well as anecdotal commentary would have made the presentation more impactful overall. 
• Using attention getter. During my speech I didn't use attention getter because of natural conversation. However, I thought it is good way to use attention getter in Elevator Pitch.  
• Checking grammar error. I visited Writing center before I start my speech because my English isn't good enough to say clearly. I don't tell wrong information to audience. I thought checking word error is important.  

Stop 

• I felt nervous while I did speech. Although I practiced my speech, I felt fear. Perhaps I failed  my speech. My heart beat fast and my body was shaking. I need to feel more relax and comfortable to do my best. I should practice and have more confident. If I feel nervous, I can't speak clearly and can't remember what should I say. I think nervousness isn't any good points. It just make me feel negatively.  
• Avoid to say "umm"  I would say umm when I stopped during my speech. I think audience feel uncomfortable when I say umm or well. It gives negative expression to audience. So I should avoid to say it.  
• Rushing through speech. I rushed my speech because I felt nervous. I tend to avoid to stay longer in front of audience. As a result, I couldn't speak clearly and I don't think everybody understand what I say.  
• Using eye contact. I used eye contact more than 3 times. I think it is not enough to use. I should look each person's eye during speech. I didn't have margin because I felt nervous. I need to have more confident about my speech, so I didn't use eye contact.  
• Moving and use body. I didn't use enough gesture. I set location in the elevator, so I don't need to move around the place, but I should use hand gesture to get my main point understand.  
• Using voice tone. I think my voice tone is kind of boring because my tone is monotone. It is not up and down. I didn't emphasize my main point. I should use more it to not get bored. 
• Making a silence. I didn't use silence during my speech because I was afraid to use it, but I think audience need brake point. Sometimes audience makes tired to hear, so get audience pay more attention by silence. 

Continue 

• Choosing good topic I have passion. First, I should think I really like the topic or not. Then I research information about it.   
• Preparing presentation before few days ago. I memorized few part, not everything, but I think I should memorize all of it because I can use more time for hand gesture etc. 
• Practicing many times. I need more practice before my speech. I should start before 4 or 5 days ago.   
• Using Hand gesture and Voice tone. Next time, I will use more nonverbal body language because it support my speech as well. Also, audience make them feel fun. They don't feel bored.  
• Saying appropriate words. I have to think carefully. I was speaking stranger, respectful person, or family. I use different word and phrase.
