Demonstration Evaluation

     I watched a video of a demonstration speech about how to make seven layer bars that can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQFHUSkYtOI.  This demonstration speech has many positive aspects to it, and does a great job of showing its audience how to make seven layer bars.  The first thing the woman in the video does very well is grabbing the audience’s attention.  She uses good imagery and description to get the audience interested in what she is going to explain.  Another thing she does well is give a brief history of where she learned of the recipe she is going to give for the seven layer bar.  Giving this history lets the audience know that it has been around for a while so it is probably a safe and effective way of making the bars.  The woman in the video also delivers the demonstration great.  She projects her clearly, and loud enough to hear, but not too loud.  She also makes eye contact with the camera, which is very important during a speech.  Aside from delivering the speech well, she is also very organized.  Before starting the actual demonstration, the woman tells the audience all of the necessary materials and ingredients for the seven layer bars.  While explaining what you need to make these bars, she shows what they look like for a visual aid.  Another very important thing the woman in the video does well is she performs all the actions she is describing.  Doing this is important because the seeing it done helps the audience understand how to do it better.  One more important thing this speech includes is the final product.  At the very end, the woman in the video shows what the seven layer bars should look like when they are finished.  Overall I think this demonstration speech is done very well.  I was not able to find a single drawback in the entire video.
