I felt that Matthew started off his speech with a great attention getter by pretending to vomit and then engaging the audience by asking how many of them had done something similar because of too much drinking. I actually felt like he did a great job all around on his speech. It was informative, especially do to his utilization of the overhead projector to display and draw special attention to certain data. I also felt that he did a good job orally citing his source and because it was a credible source, it allowed him to speak with authority on the subject. He repeatedly referred to the well-being and safety of his audience, which lent him an air of goodwill.
It was hard to get much of a feel for the other speech since it was such a short clip. I actually thought that Courtney looked down way too much instead of engaging her audience. I thought that she did a good job in her introduction of letting her audience the information that her speech was going to cover. Her topic of "light pollution" seemed interesting, so I would have liked to see where she was going with it.
