Reflection on Feedback:
My peers gave me some great feedback and advice from my first elevator pitch. They also were very kind and gave me great compliments about my choice of words and my tone while speaking. The most insightful feedback I got back was being told I came off a bit nervous during my speech. I agree that I was nervous and I should practice more and become more confident about what I am talking about. Overall my feedback was better than I thought it would be which made me happy with my first attempt. I believe that adding my statistic helped back my opportunity and support my beliefs. Everyone who gave me feedback said that they agreed and were convinced that trade and skill classes should be implemented back into High Schools.
What did I change?:
I made sure to practice in the mirror before I recorded it several times. I tried to be more confident and not come off as nervous even though that was a lot harder than it sounds. I have always been a nervous person speaking to crowds but having the option to keep trying again if I messed up allowed me to perfect my speech even more. I also tried to start using my hands more for gestures to help emphasize my points which I believe helped my elevator pitch improve since last time.
Hey Kendall, Really great job on your elevator pitch! You did a great job being animated and grabbing the audience's attention in your pitch. You also did a really great job selling the idea and making people as excited as you are. Public speaking is something that is rarely natural for people and only gets better in time, so I wish you the best of luck with that.
ReplyDeleteKendall, I enjoyed watching your elevator pitch and found that using your hands as you spoke throughout the pitch made it more conversational and engaging. I also think you used action words very effectively to capture the audience's attention. You didn't seem nervous at all and I think practicing helped you feel more secure in the material you were discussing. Well done!
ReplyDeleteKendall,
ReplyDeleteYour elevator pitch was very enticing to watch I was actually interested in what you were saying. Your attitude during the pitch was pleasant but serious enough to be informative. Great job!
Kendall,
ReplyDeleteYou seemed very comfortable! I wouldn't have known you had an issue with nerves if I hadn't read your blog post! The pitch felt very engaging and conversational.
I would move the frame down a little, though! Your hand gestures will come more naturally if you give yourself some more space! Trying to squeeze hand gestures in a small frame makes it incredibly difficult to look natural.
