Demonstration Speech: Josh teaches us how to make Kool Aid

I watched a demonstration speech on YouTube, which was called “ Josh teaches us how to make Kool Aid”.  Although I already know how to make Kool Aid, it seemed like an interesting video to watch. Watching this video, I noticed some positive points and a few negative drawbacks.           

There were many positive points to this demonstration speech. For one, he was very engaging to his audience.  He got them involved and from my understanding they could easily relate to him. Another positive attribute to the presenter’s speech was that it was pretty organized. He came prepared with all the materials that were needed to make his Kool Aid and he thoroughly explained how to use the materials. One of the biggest positives that I noticed from the speech was that he was very confident. He rarely stumbled with words, and I could tell he knew how to make Kool Aid. The positive points in this demonstration speech helped enhance it a lot.

Even though there were positive points to this speech, there were also a couple drawbacks, which affected the speech. One drawback that I noticed was that the presenter was constantly looking at his note cards. Although it is fine to look a couple times throughout a speech, this presenter was looking constantly. Another drawback that I noticed was that he didn’t give good eye contact. Most of the time, he was looking down at his materials. It is good to give eye contact throughout the whole speech. One last downfall that I saw was he got off topic a couple times, and made some jokes that weren’t really necessary in the speech.

Overall, I thought this speech wasn’t bad. The presenter was enthusiastic about the speech and he did a fairly good job of demonstrating it. He just needs to work on a couple things to enhance his speech even more.
