Pres. No.1 Self-Analysis

Self-Analysis

1. Voice (Volume, rate, pausing, emphasis etc)
Reflection: 
     The volume was much lower than I had expected while I did not murmur. It is because I do not have confidence of speaking English since I tend to speak loudly when I speak Japanese. Due to the voice in low, the emphasis of the voice did not work at all.
Goals: 
     Speak in appropriate voice ( more loudly) whether I can talk fluently or not. Then, pay attention to rate, pausing and emphasis.

2. Body Language (Eye contact, gestures, posture etc)
Reflection: 
     eye-contact- I tried to face to whole audience. I know I tend to look right upward when I am nervous, so I tried to avoid that, but I  couldn’t.
     gesture- I cared about the gestures but I could not use it effectively. I moved only my right hand sometimes.
     posture- straight, not slouching and I stayed.
Goals: 
     Get used to speaking public through AEP class and try to be myself, facing to everyone. Watch and imitate presenters’ gestures by TED and the instructers.

3. Visuals (Images or text on slides, timing etc)
Reflection: 
     I tried to avoid typical ICU students’ slides (many fonts and charts).
Goals: 
     Keep making slides simple and memorable.

4. Preparation Process (Topic selection, notes, visuals creation, rehearsals
etc)
Reflection: 
     topic selection- I think topic was interesting to everyone. And it was easy to have a presentation for me because topic was successfully narrowed.
     notes- I prepared speaking note, but everyone did not seem to see any notes. Though I had many rehearsals, I needed to see speaking notes because I was very nervous and I forgot what to say.
Goals: 
     Use speaking notes effectively. Note should be contained appropriate amount of information. Not just having rehearsals many times, but imaging real presentation.

5. Any other reflections or goals?
     Have an expressive face. When I am nervous, I tend to just smile. Like intonation in voice, I would like to change my facial expression such as serious and smile.
