You should be wearing business attire, especially if it's a taped speech for speech class. As dumb as it sounds, dressing up for a speech/presentation really works. It makes you feel more serious about what you're doing, plus it makes you look more serious to your audience, and your teacher.

Well I guess you would have failed me.
A bit of knowledge...I work from 8am - 11:55 in the mornings.
Class starts at 12 and I'm usually rushing to get my ass over there just to make it to class, let alone worrying about how I look.
I teach swim lessons all morning and then deal with class right after.
Usually I'm still wet from lessons and my makeup is washed off.
So oh well.
I talked to my discussion leader about it and she said it was alright.
Well I did my speech...without notecards
1 - Like
1- Ummm
I think I kept pretty decent eye contact with people and I tried not to look down too much.
So overall not too bad.
Some people had like 30 umms so considering I only had 1...not too shabby.
