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

ReplyDeleteHi, Midori!
ReplyDeleteI will write some feed back for your presentation. I am really sorry for being so late.
Your presentation was awesome!
I could see you were really passionate about baseball!!
Good points: Your voice was clear and big. It was easy to listen to.
Nice pictures. It helped us have the image of what you are talking about.
Suggestion: It would be better if you have more eye contact with each of the audience. You are looking at the audience as a whole, and it’s good already, but if you have more personal eye contact, it would improve more.
Generally you were looking at us and your posture was directed toward us, which was very good, but sometimes you were looking at the slides and talking to the slides a little. That could be improved.
