Attend and Analyze a Speech - Delivery Aspects - Essay Example

I occasionally attend religious sermons and speeches in order to experience spiritual refreshment and a reinforcement of my faith. I therefore thought it best to write a speech analysis on Mr. Name, who is the speaker of many such sermons, that I usually attend at placeYYYYYYYY every Friday/Sunday. Like any other religious speaker, Mr.XXXXXXX spoke with an air of self-importance. He mostly spoke at a low volume with slight undertones, occasionally modulating the pitch of his speech to a higher or a lower level based on the importance of the message he wished to communicate.

His speech was quick, probably because he had a lot to cover in a short time. However, he took momentary pauses in between, especially after conveying something important to give us time to ponder over what he just said. He spoke animatedly with many facial expressions. His pronunciation was perfect although his speech lacked lucidity. The speaker appeared very confident in his speech. His appearance was very pleasing to the eye. He had a certain dignity in the way he spoke and moved about during the speech.

He would hammer the fist of his right hand onto his left hand whenever he had to stress on the obligations that we should follow in daily life. I found this particular act of his to be very articulate and effective. He maintained eye contact with all the listeners, but most of the time, he would focus on the central part of the audience. He sometimes glanced in the book he carried, but that was less frequent. Most of his facial expressions conveyed more than words could. Whenever he spoke of kindness and compassion, piety and righteousness, his eyes shone with warmth and tears would appear in his eyes.

His nonverbal communication was very effective and demanded both attention and admiration. Most of the time, he would point his index finger at the audience as if he was condemning them for something. Overall, his speeches are always effective and enlightening and I enjoy attending his speeches.
