After viewing the video of my speech over and over I noticed some mistakes I’ve done while presenting the speech.
1- Powerpoint: I haven’t done a proper powerpoint to show the class on that day I just had a map of the world on the background to show where I came from.
2- Main points: I wasn’t aware that the speech was supposed to be about my “Role” in my career, family and entertainment. I didn’t include points to answer questions like “How does it feels like to be the 3rd member of the family and how did that make me the person who I am today?” or even “How I choose the career I’m willing to set for my future and what are the challenges that I faced so far?”
3- Hand motion: I noticed that I had my hands in my pockets pretty much throughout my speech, and when giving a speech you are supposed to avoid similar situation and that’s to show a better hand motion which definitely helps in communicating with the audience.
4- Volume and clarity: I don’t think my classmates who sat in the very last row in the classroom heard my entire speech clearly; I think I should’ve spoken louder.
Speaking wise, I stuttered a bit and that’s obviously because I get nervous when speaking in public. I should’ve used at least one note card to help me remember my points and the transition when moving from a topic to another, also to avoid awkward pauses!
