My demonstration video was on “How to Make a Protein Smoothie.” I demonstrated to the class instructions on making a rasberry-bannana smoothie, a snack I believe is healthy for all college students. While I was watching the video I critiqued myself in both positive and negative way.
What I enjoyed about the speech was how I had two visual aids, the PowerPoint and the actual making of the drink. The PowerPoint provided the class with information related to smoothies, important reminders and tips, and a variety of different recipes. The purpose of the PowerPoint was to organize the essential ingredients, and give an overall layout of the material needed in the process.
However, there are many aspects of my speech I wish I were stronger at. First, my introduction was not exciting and attention-grabbing. Therefore, I was not able to capture the audience’s attention, and make them feel involved. I also did not review the steps in the beginning or the conclusion of my speech. This step would have helped organize the information in the introduction, and sum it up the conclusion. Another thing I can work on is my body positioning, and how I use my hands. Instead of just playing with my fingers and pants, I should use my hands to engage the audience, and show more confidence using correct body language. Lastly, I wish my actual demonstration for the smoothie were stronger. My ingredients were not all lay out and organized in front of the class, and could have possibly gotten the audience confused. I could have gone more into detail about my steps, versus spending the time explaining the PowerPoint.
Overall, I enjoyed presenting my speech, and teaching the steps for a smoothie to the class. I also benefited from watching the video, and took note on many things I need to work on. For my next presentation, I will now be more prepared and confident in my speech and myself.
