This Public Speaking assignment is for the Public Speaking Course on 9/16/2013,Monday,Block 3 given by Mr.Manno.
How do you think you did with your TED Talk?How could you improve it?
I think I did ok with my TED Talk. The pronunciation is the best part of my TED Talk. My intonation is not bad as well.
To improve my performance, according to Mr. Manno's suggestions, the PPT is a big problem I need to solve first.
Because of my PPT is to complicated, and the animations of the PPT are really slow,(actually during the presentation, the PPT was driving me crazy!!) the audiences are always focus on the PPT instead of me-the speaker. Consequently, I cannot have good eyes contact with the audiences, and also I needed to check up the PPT, so I was facing the PPT almost all the time. The PPT is not the most important part, but I am!!
In order to make the audiences focus on me, I have to make my PPT simpler and easier to read. The only thing I need to put it on my PPT is the main keyword of each part I'm going to talk about.
If I make that, I can have more eyes contact with my audience. And I can also show my body language, hand gestures also my movement. If they can see that, they can give me more suggestions to help me to improve.
Also according to Mr. Manno's suggestion, I need to improve my intonation as well. I speak too fast so that the audiences can not catch each word I said. That's hard for them to understand my topic. I need to try to speak slowly and balance. Also to use hand gestures to emphasize the important aspect of the topic can make my speech even better.
In brief, the most important parts I need to improve are the PPT and my intonation.
