Oral Presentation is finally over! To be honest, talking to the video camera during the dry run feels kind of weird. Probably I am not one to be comfortable if I know I am going to be scrutinized again and again.
During the presentation, there is great importance to keep your cool. By doing so, it helps to facilitate your train of thoughts and help to articulate yourself better in front of the crowd. Speaking at a slower, yet acceptable, speed will also help in thinking for the perfect phrase/word to use in continuing/linking the points.
One thing to note for my personal performance was my non verbals during my delivery of my content. I was observed to be fidgeting during my presentation. This probably has to do something with my style of presentation and character. While trying to be myself during the presentation, I might have accidentally portray some of my bad habits. I might need to put in constant effort into minding my minor non-verbals so as not to portray myself in a negative light.
Another thing that was highlighted was my pronounciation of the language. Language wise, I guess I will just have to work on pronouncing my words clearer.
And lastly, it was the image I portray as a presenter. I was thought to be more of a "schoolboy" presenting his schoolwork. Personally, I do not think of it as a good thing though other people might think it is good to look young and enthusiastic. As a presenter, it is important to persuade the people to take up your idea. Having a mature look and "knowing what you do best" will help a lot in the persuasion. Looking like a "boy" portrays an idea of immaturity and is probably not a good idea when in the working world.
In all, I believed that I did meet my own expectation, with areas such as pronounciation and body languages to work on in order to improve.
