[media] Audrey Hepburn Speech

For a public speaking (TDA 150) assignment,  I chose to watch a speech given by Audrey Hepburn at a Golden Globe Award ceremony in 1990.  She won the Cecil B. Demille Award.  I love Audrey Hepburn (I guess most people do!).  She did so much good in her life, and her career as a ballerina, actress, singer (a few songs) and philanthropist is so inspiring.  I had to watch this speech and evaluate it.  The filming and posting of this speech online is a great example of the media and transferring a message from the speaker to the receiver.  Her speech was full of passion and done very genuinely.  Her eye contact with the audience is perfect.  Audrey did not use one filler word in her speech.  If she memorized her speech, I could not tell because it flowed so smoothly and her voice inflections were very animated.  Audrey did not sway and she kept very composed.  She also added humor to the speech, which added to the likableness of her speech.  HERE is her speech!
