Speech Critique

I think that my speech could have been much better. It was clear that I was nervous and not as well rehearsed as I should have been. Using the flash cards that I made, caused me to lose focus on my physical appearance. I stood mostly stationary and awkwardly shifted my weight instead of using the energy I had in a productive way. I also talked very quickly and was under the time limit. Had I spoken slower and more concisely, I would have been within the time constraints. I know now that when I get nourvous I tend to play with my hair a lot, which can be very distracting. I think if I want to correct all of the issues of my speech, I should practice a lot more and try to be more comfortable in front of an audience.
