I recorded myself giving a powerpoint presentation of my Crow Creek Road Conserver project, without really practicing the delivery part. I knew the content of the presentation, but hadn't practiced presenting it before recording it so, I knew I was going to see myself in my rawest, unrefined form. This is good though, "I will see ALL of my vices as a presenter", I thought. I surely did. But before I go into the "Janice Bashing"
I would like to highlight my strengths.
--I have great voice projection and an ability to keep talking while I am thinking and keep the momentum going.
--I spoke in a controlled pace and not too fast most of the time.
--I emphasize my words with higher tone and pauses as I change topics.
--I am relaxed and comfortable speaking and used gestures well.
I have much to work on and the video has made me aware of some of those things.
--I noticed I did "umm" a lot. I could have reduced some of that by practicing.
--I played with my hands a too much and swayed back and forth where I was standing.
--As I got into the data of my research project I should have used more of the '4B's' to emphasize my main points.
--I put too much of my data on a couple slides and should have given more results, it got a little wordy.
--I would have liked to have had a remote to change slides with.
--The pace of speech was a little fast and I could have emphasized points better.
I am going to video tape myself more next semester.
Here is a link to the video of my stand & deliver powerpoint presentation.
