My reflections and goals (Presentation 1.)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope that everyone had a nice holiday.
I mostly worked for my part-time-job, went back my home(OKayama Pre.), and spent time with my family and friends for a couple days.

1. Voice (Volume, rate, pausing, emphasis etc)
Reflection: The volume was smaller than I had expected. I sould've clearfied the emphasis that I wanted to put, also the pausing.
Goals: To talk more clearly and put emphasis and pause at the points I should put.

2. Body Language (Eye contact, gestures, posture etc)
Reflection: I was looking at the screens, not the audience. Gesture was not too bad.
Goals: To have good eye contacts!

3. Visuals (Images or text on slides, timing etc)
Reflection: Image was not too bad. I was quite happy about my slides.
Goals: I want to understand the timing to change to next slide, which means I need to practice more.

4. Preparation Process (Topic selection, notes, visuals creation, rehearsals
etc)
Reflection:Topic selection was good?! Well, hope everyone enjoyed it. I think I should have done more rehearsals in order to be confident in my presentation. More rehearsal creates better presentation, I learned.
Goals: Many rehearsals!! Maybe I should practice in front of mirror as I do rehearsals.

5. Any other reflections or goals?
- My body was moving all the time... so I want to be careful about it for the next presentation.
- overall, I should be more confident in my presentation so that I can look at the audience, not the slides, and to speak more clearly.

  1. Hi Asuka,

    Just noticed this blog post in my Reader. Remember you can record your voice over presentation using QuickTime on the macs in ICU. Also you can record yourself looking into the camera while speaking / doing your presentation. That is much better than mirror practice.
