Sample Completed Speech and Self-Review

Introduction: Good morning, everyone. Today, I will briefly introduce myself and share what motivates me every day. I am Alex Johnson, a third-year business student passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation.

Body: My main motivation stems from my desire to create solutions that improve people's lives. Growing up in a community with limited resources, I saw firsthand how small innovations could make a significant difference. This inspired me to pursue studies that equip me with the skills to develop impactful business ideas. During my speech, I focused on my favorite project—a sustainable local marketplace—that connects local farmers directly with consumers, reducing costs and supporting the community.

Delivery: I maintained good eye contact, used an expressive tone, and incorporated gestures such as hands-raised for emphasis on key points. My speech focused on clarity and maintaining engagement through enthusiasm. I was mindful of staying within the 2-minute limit, ensuring my message was concise and impactful.

Self-Review: Watching my recording, I noticed that my voice was clear throughout most of the speech, though my gestures could be more natural. I also realized I could improve my eye contact by glancing at the camera more regularly to enhance audience connection. Overall, I was pleased with my focus on the main message, but I will work on confidence and natural delivery in future speeches.
