The PK Reflections and Self-Analysis

1. Voice
Reflection:


My goal was to speak loud enough, speech rate is not too fast, use pausing and emphasis. Especially, I wanted not to be hasty. My volume was good, easy to catch, I hope audience felt as well. Rate of speech was not bad, but I cut some information because of lack of time, so I wonder if audience understand or not. I did my best to use emphasis, but not pausing. Finally, my pronunciation was awful above all unfamiliar word such as bacteria. I could have practiced such a unfamiliar word before the PK.

Ideas for improvement:

The more rehearsal I did, the better PK I would have of course. And I practice the pronunciation of unfamiliar word before the presentation.



2. Visuals (Images or text on slides, timing etc)
Reflection:

My goal was to organize clearly, 1) Introduction, 2) Background, 3) Controversial point.
1) has 3 pages, 2) has 9 pages, and 3) has 8 pages. I think this organization was fine, but background was a little too much.

Goal:

I can make next time background shorter and more simple, because audience might fell listening background boring.


3. Preparation Process
Reflection:

I can choose my topic early, but I finished my visuals and made rehearsals in the PK's morning.
Once I had finished my visuals earlier, I would have more times to do rehearsals. However, I had confidence in the PK because I could did rehearsal several times.

Goal:

I can improve my presentation to try to finish my presentation early, and I have time to practice and revise my visuals.


5. Any other reflections or goals?

Presentation No.1 Reflections and Self-Analysis

-----------------------------

1. Successfully achieved purpose / main message?

Reflection:
My goal was to 1) to convey the magnificence of Aikido. 2) within 3 minutes. 3) Relax

Ideas for Improvement:
Awful lol. I'm too shamed to see the video.
I should have shown the performance by my body because using the volunteers contains some risk to get trouble. And I should've prepared more, such as making script, rehearsal.

2. Use of voice? (rhythm, emphasis, pausing, variation)
Reflection:
My goal was to speak relax and comfortably.
I spoke slowly. But It seems that I hadn't confidence and was not relax lol.
I sometimes use "Ah".

Ideas for Improvement:
I can prepare, next time, script or vocabulary list not to lose my word.

3. Use of body language? (posture, gestures, eyes, face)
Reflection:
I shook my hip and wasn't relaxed.

Ideas for Improvement:
I can improve my body language by using my hands to emphasize.

4. Use of visuals?
Reflection:
I tried to show performance, but I failed.


Ideas for Improvement:
I need to use myself to avoid failing.


5. Preparation & rehearsal process?
Reflection:
I finished my outline lastProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0

lass. But I did not prepare more, neither rehearsal.

Ideas for Improvement:
For the next presentation, I make script or vocabulary list not to lose my words, besides outline.
I believe it makes me more relax.
