I just finished my second informative speech. I don't know why but I kept getting nervous when the camera was actually recording me! When I practiced I got through it just fine but when I knew the camera was on me, I felt like a baffling idiot! My first take only lasted about 4 minutes when I decided it wasn't worth finishing so I just stopped it, took a lunch break and then started over. I reviewed the recordings from the 3 speeches that I have on my camera and the sound quality seemed much better. I wonder if that's because I recorded these in a house rather than a downstairs basement...? It sounds a little far fetched, but something must account for the improvement! Well I look forward to handing this in and finally getting a start on unit 3!
