Overcoming Noise

Loudness of venue was good practice for speakers. Everyone overcame noise well.

Evaluator #1:

Jim Rose

Quoting Sources

Good preparation. No notes. Confident and sincere. Excellent vocal variety. Too many quotes made speech disjointed, but end tied all together.

Evaluator #2:

Stephen King

Passionate on  Rose

Passionate and confident. Good gestures. Rose good, but use more props – baseball hat, news article. Too many stats. Didn’t discuss book deal.
