Video Review - Custom Essay

Please watch the video in the above mentioned link and answer the following question. Make sure you identify the speaker that you're evaluating.  

• What is this speaker's Problem Statement?
  After the first three minutes, were you able to clearly identify the problem that this speaker was going to discuss? If so, what was it? If not, how could the speaker have made this more clear? 
• Does the speaker Reference Shared Experiences or Beliefs?
  Anchoring your speech content around experiences or beliefs that you share with your audience accomplishes two important tasks: (1) You make your speech more understandable as you transition between what your audience knows (the experience/belief they share with you) and what you want them to know (your message) and (2) You boost your ethos (your credibility) because your audience feels similar to you. i.e. you've been through an experience together and have a shared past. Does your speaker do this? If so, is it done effectively? If not, where is an opportunity in the speech when this strategy could have been used? 
• How does the speaker Signal Key Statements?
  Throughout the speech, does the speaker signal that important words are coming, thus preparing the audience to listen even more intently at these moments? If so, is it done effectively? If not, where is an opportunity in the speech when this strategy could have been used?

• Does the speaker have a Call-to-Action?
  A speech call-to-action is an explicit appeal to your audience to take a specific action following your speech. A call-to-action is most often made at the conclusion of a persuasive speech. Does your speaker do this? If so, is it done effectively? If not, what could the speaker have done to call the audience to action?

• What visuals, if any, are used? 
  How are they used effectively? How could they have been more effective? *Does the speaker ever read content that is written on a slide?*

• What is your (brief) summary of this presentation style?
  Do you think this presenter spoke effectively? Why or why not?

• What do you think is most important for an effective presentation? 
  Think back to all the presentations you've seen. Which ones do you remember? Are there any really bad ones you can think of? What makes a bad presentation bad, and what makes a good presentation good?
