After watching my Shark Tank proposal, I definitely notice a few things about myself that I never would have thought about before. Everyone always tells me I talk fast, and in my defense, I blame it on the music I listen to; after actually seeing myself in a third-person setting, i now realize how fast do talk. I don't take many breaks in between my words, and it sounds like a constant machine gun. This is weird for me, I never feel like I am talking fast; I'm a fast thinker and fast writer as well so I feel like: maybe it has something to do witht the way my brain works. If i slow down, I feel lik many more people could understand what I am saying, rather than being force fed a million facts constantly after another. I also notice that I am incredibly nervous,if you look closely, my right leg is shaking for almost the entire presentation. The part near the 3/4 mark of the speech, I forget what I am supposed to say, and I have a look of fear on my face. After seeing my grade, I wanted to yell at my teacher; but after watching myself I understand everything that He said. I don't look comfortable up there, and when I forget what I memorized, I almost go blank until I remember. This is a problem, I can make up conversation with anyone in a one-on-one situation, but when I thrust myself up to a room with 30 of my peers, my heart goes numb.I can do better, and I know I can; I hope I can show that later in this class.
On the good side of the speech, I look very charismatic and happy up there, which is a good act by muah. I am constantly smiling and near the end, when I am telling jokes, i look sincerely happy and as if I am having good time.
This presentation was a success overall I would say because I didn't completely blank out, like I thought I would. I received a good-enough grade to keep me happy, but not enough to prevent me from striving for more. I wish the questions were filmed too, alas that would be more to criticize myself for.
