Focus on select areas for improvement. Make your comments in an organized fashion. Provide specific feedback about what needs to be improved. Be honest but respectful and tactful in your comments. Personalize comments by indicating how you were influenced by the content or behavior, using I instead of you. Stress the positive aspects of the speech. Offer specific suggestions on how to correct a problem. Provide a plan of action for how to improve the next speech with examples. End the critique with a positive statement.Step 7: Use your speech evaluation table and guidelines for giving effective speech feedback to write a critique of the speech you selected.

Step 8: Review the information in the lesson that provides guidelines for handling feedback you receive from others. These guidelines include:Be sure to focus on what is being said about your speech and your presentation, not how it is being conveyed to you. Avoid taking the feedback personally or emotionally. When feedback is general or vague, seek out specific problems and suggestions from the feedback source. Evaluate the feedback provided using your critical thinking abilities. Prepare a plan of action for improving your speech and presentation skills prior to delivering the next speech.Step 9: Put yourself in the shoes of the presenter whose speech you watched and critiqued. Imagine that you are the speaker who received the critique that you wrote. For each guideline you reviewed in Step 8, write a sentence or more that documents your thoughts about the critique comments and observations. How would you use the information, observations, and suggestions in the critique to deliver your speech more effectively? Step 10: Save and submit your document.
