Today I watched my mid term critique and i have to say that i need to work on my presentation skills a little bit. Usually we all don't dress up for critiques but seeing myself presenting my work in whatever ratty sweatshirt i put on this morning made me think that it looked like I did not care. I tried not to think too hard about what i was going to say before the critique. I feel that the way I speak about my work is fairly professional, even though I had a few moments in the middle of sentences were I had to figure out what i was going to say next. I am always conscious not to speak too fast but speaking too slowly could also be a fault in presentation. I think next critique I will prepare an outline to help guide myself through speaking and I will have questions for the class about my work.
I said um a lot, fidgeted and rung my hands together a lot. I need to work on my posture and staying calm when in front of the crowd.
One thing that is important for me to improve on is that i speak to quickly when people are critiquing my work, I speak before they even finish speaking sometimes. Otherwise, I feel that i had strong language for my work and fine tuning these small details will help keep people on track with what I am saying and not on what i am doing with my hands.
