  • Speech class in class speech about how you can and should be a hero.
    ****************************************************************************************
    UPDATE:
    I really want to thank everyone for the kind words and creative criticism. I also would like to thank my instructor, Suzanne Shumway, for her patient awesomeness and for her recording this video to post in the first place. It was and is a subject I truly believe in for all of us.
    I have had many requests regarding the use of this speech for other speeches and class assignments. I absolutely give permission for anyone to use this speech, if it will help you in your class or for an assignment. All I ask is that you use it positively, as it was intended, and that you let me know how it went.
    Thanks again,
    -George "Jorge El Grande" Scholey

    I loved how he attracted the listener by putting on the cape and stuff. I also liked how he kept on saying "you could be a hero too". He brought us into it.

      Thanks Jorge! I took the Public Speaking class at SAC over the summer, and I loved your presentation! I hope to incorporate it into the Brazo Zulu Radio (.com) show on 9/3/21. Let me know if I can ever do anything. Riley

    "The result could be that we start a chain reaction that spreads the spark of heroism." One of my fav lines from this speech.

    Excellent speech! I use your video in my public speaking classes as an example of how to give an effective presentation. I've been showing it for years now! I really appreciate you posting this, and helping me help my students (and I'm sure numerous faculty and students feel the same way). Well done, sir!

    Very good Platform Delivery Content (PDC). You kept eye content with your audience, very good examples including the heros today, and you had good visual aid for your audience to know that it doesn't matter if any one has a cape or a symbol because thier real reason is that they're a hero is to help others and make lives easier. I did some imitative at my work cleaning up their work bench (''A clean shop is a safe shop'') but they complained to me about it and didn't appreciated it. Now I haven't done anymore ever since. But I do know that doing and imitative makes you feel good.

    I am a community college professor in Dallas. I show your speech at persuasive presentation time to my students for many reasons, not the least of which is your use of PowerPoint-free visual aid, your establishment of social problem, and the end in which you reveal your personal hero. Thank you.

    I love this. I'm going to school to be an animator because I want to spread happiness to the world through art because it's always been there for me. Over the past year, in fact, I've grown strong feelings for the following thought..."as an artist, it's our job to share our creations with the world, even if it could make just one person happy." I feel so strongly about it, I cry when I write about it...I'm a little emotional. I sell my art as "affordable, personalized happiness" because growing up I couldn't have all the stuff that inspired me. Especially in today's economy, I want everyone to be able to afford a little stuffed animal of their favorite cartoon character, or a caricature of their grand kids, or something.
    Tonight I have spent almost an hour looking through persuasive student speeches because my assignment in communications (speech) class is to critique a persuasive speech. Being a hero. That's such an epic persuasive speech...because it's so true! I'm definitely critiquing this speech. What I'll probably talk about is...the pace of the speaking was perfect, there was an example to support the speech, it was a good time length, there was an obvious beginning, body, and closing, there was a clear thesis statement, etc. The only suggestions I have for it aren't even for the speech itself. The tapping on the podium was causing a distracting sound through the mic. That's actually all I can see right now.
    Thank you so much for doing this speech, and especially thank you for posting it! You've officially ended my search (and time wasting) in finding a good speech, so tonight, you're my hero! c:

    That was beautifully done! I'm in speech class and currently initiating persuasive speaking and looking for topics and ideas. Obviously, I don't want to plagiarize mainly because internally, I want it to feel like it comes from within me. And it is awesome that you found a topic that can be applied to variety of audiences. I love the use of your visual aid, and I mean "USE", it was captivating and nicely organized, very easy to remember your speech too. Any ideas on choosing a topic? :)
