Very well structured, @Kiyan Behinfar 👏 I also noticed how you lowered your volume while giving your example. Great use of vocal variety! Next time, try incorporating a little more movement into your speech instead of staying in one spot. For example, when you lower your volume, try taking a small step forward, as if you're sharing something personal or having a reflective moment. Then, when you project your voice and speak with more energy, take a step back. This combination of vocal variety and body movement will make your delivery feel more natural, engaging, and influential. Keep it up! 💪

Hey @Kiyan Behinfar ! You've done a great job with the PREP structure! 👏 You started with a clear point that home is where your loved ones are, gave your reason, shared a solid personal example, and finished by going back to your original point. With the gradual use of more hand gestures and facial expressions, your delivery will become even more natural and engaging. It's great to see you already putting these skills into practice! Now, the next thing I want us to work on is vocal variety. Your voice still stays a little too much in one tone, and we're going to work on changing that. You'll learn how to vary your volume, knowing when to speak louder or softer, your pace, knowing when to speed up or slow down, and your pitch, knowing when to use a higher or lower pitch. All this variety is what makes a speech more engaging and influential. Now that you've got a solid foundation with PREP, we're going to build on it week after week by adding more variety to your delivery. Keep showing up! Let's make you a more influential speaker! 💪

Hey Ashwin! Great job with the PREP structure! 👏 You started with a clear point, followed it up with your reason, shared a real personal example about a party you hosted that took time away from your family, and finished by going back to your original point. That's exactly how PREP should work! Brilliant! Now, I want to challenge you to work on two things for your next speech: 1. Volume: I want you to stand up while recording and project your voice more. Right now, I'd say your volume is around a 3/10, and I want you to push it to at least a 5/10. Remember, your body and voice are connected. Standing up will help you project your voice and bring more energy into your delivery. 2. Eye contact: I noticed that you tend to look up when you're thinking. Try to maintain eye contact with the camera instead. It will help you connect better with your listeners and make your message more powerful. You've already got the structure, which is fantastic! Now let's work on projecting your voice and maintaining eye contact to make your delivery even more influential. Looking forward to your next speech! 💪

Hey @Kiyan Behinfar ! Another great speech with a very clear structure! 👏 You started with a solid point about walking your dog, gave your reason, followed it up with a real example, and finished by going back to your original point. Great use of the PREP framework! I also noticed that you're using more facial expressions, especially the smile, and it really makes your speech feel warmer and more engaging. Facial expressions help you connect with your listeners and bring more personality into your delivery. Another great improvement is your hand gestures! You're now using more variety instead of repeating the same movement we saw in previous speeches. Now, one small improvement I want to challenge you with is replacing filler sounds like "um" with pauses. Whenever you finish an idea, take a short pause of one to two seconds to collect your thoughts before moving to the next idea. That way, you can deliver your next thought more clearly without having to think in the middle of your sentence and fill the silence with an "um." Apart from that, great progress. Keep it up! 💪
