I enjoyed watching the videos because they all gave really good advice. From video 2.1 I learned that the preparation for each speech is crucial to having a successful presentation. I have never tried relabeling a negative feeling before, so I will try that the next time I feel like I have a negative thought. Visiting the location of the speech room, never commenting on being nervous, and visualizing the speech going well are all things I will keep in mind when preparing for the upcoming speech.
I had a hard time choosing a topic for each speech and I wanted to find something I cared about, so I agree with the buddy in 2.2 when she suggested to find a topic we are most interested in. I think that way, I can be more engaged and enthusiastic about what I am talking about.
I also did the ch.2 activity from the video and l learned that if I have a shaky voice I should try increasing my voice and be as loud as I can. I find myself being nervous and I getting all choked up when speaking, so this was really important to me. Also breathing, I guess when I am a little more than anxious I forget to breathe, so the activity suggested that on the top of a note-card, write “Breathe” to remind myself to take a deep breath.
