PechaKucha presentation review

My impression of PK presentation

＊I found it difficult to have a limit of 20 seconds. It made me hard to tell what I really want to tell within this limited time.

＊Watching the PK presentation was more easier to listen because I knew that it will end in 6 min.

＊I felt that PK is kind of one way presentation since it does not have any toss of questions to the audience.

＊PK slides have more constant movement compared to other presentation slides and it made the viewers less getting bored and kept peoples attention

Self-Analysis & Goal-Setting

Self-Analysis & Goal-Setting

1. Voice (Volume, rate, pausing, emphasis etc)
Reflection:My goal was to speak slowly. I feel that, compared to my previous experience of presentations, I was able to talk in a clam speed. However, my intonation was quite monotone that it heard like I was giving a reputation in the presentation. Also, I felt that my voice tone was quite high.
Goals:I want to talk more in a lower, calm voice and use more effective use of pausing in the presentation.

2. Body Language (Eye contact, gestures, posture etc)
Reflection:I seem to be moving my hands in a non-meaning way. Also, I had a couple of time looking at the slides while I talked.
Goals:I want to use more effective use of gestures which helps the audience understand more about the content.

3. Visuals (Images or text on slides, timing etc)
Reflection:I was able to use the slides and also a real object for catching the audiences attention. However throughout my slides I feel that it lacks consistency in　the use of font and colors.
Goals:I want to improve my skills on making slides and since i couldn't spend a lot of time on making the slides, I would like to work harder on it next time.

4. Preparation Process (Topic selection, notes, visuals creation, rehearsals etc)
Reflection: My goals of this presentation was to give a logical presentation. However, while I talked it seemed that I was adding more information than I was practicing. Also, I practiced by writing a script and memorizing a certain sentences for each slide so I was trying to use that sentence even if it is not connected logically to the previous sentence. For my selection of the topic, I think I choose a good one which is quite familiar to the audience and is interesting to listen.
Goals:For the next presentation, I want to rehearsal my presentation by not memorizing the script but by focusing on catching the points I want to talk with the slides.

5. Any other reflections or goals?

I was still quite nervous about giving the presentation, but I enjoyed it. Next time I give the presentation, I want to be able to talk with more confidence and

My first presentation

I made a presentation on a topic which I am passionate about and that is Baseball.

I hope everyone enjoyed it!:)

3min was quite short but I enjoyed presenting in front of the class.

I'm looking forward to see the video of myself presenting!
