Impromptu speech

"urrgghh....I hate impromptu speeches...they always catch me off guard"

That's how I usually feel when I am asked to give an impromptu speech. You guys did just that. How did it feel? The topics I choose for you was pretty easy but it was impromptu! So I bet there were things you felt you could have done better at right? Blog about your strengths and weaknesses as a presenter based on the comments made by your friends. Write about how you feel about the comments? Are they justified?

  2. After done the presentation,I have many comment from miss and my friends. From that, I know that I have many weakness in presentation. Firstly, I fail to get attention from audience during the presentation.
    From the comment,I feel too bad and tension to continue my presentation.But the comment give me idea to improve the presentation.
    Then, during the presentation audience look bored and sleepy.So, from the comment I hope can give the presentation more interesting in the future..tq

  4. "I'm a quite confident person!" I would agree with this statement. Why?? because I'm not afraid to come infont of my classmates and deliver a speech, eventhough I've not remember my speech or I don't really know about the topic...
    "lack of eye contact"..
    That's my obvious weaknesses! I don't even dare to look at the audience eye for a minutes!!

  5. Me first?Why me?After I have done presentation that I have done last week,Iknow about my strength and my weakness.The first comment that I get from my friend is they said that I was smile to audience.For me smile mean that we are trying to give the expression to the audience.Ihave idea but not convince with my idea .That true what the said about me.When my body is convulsive,I don't know whether all I'm said is true or not.The other weakness that they have comment about me is I not have ideas and less body language.Apart from,I'm very nervous,and I can't hide from that..In my opinion,I think all the said about me is true.I never knew about my weakness if I don't give a speech last week.Just all from me..

  6. The hands! It's always the hands >.<

    Well, I do love my hands, but during public presentations, I always fail to make a good use of them T.T

    That's not the only problem, lack of experience costs me a lot as always. I'd be happy if I can remember 80% of the script that I have prepared before-hand.

    It's still a long way to go I guess.
    As they say, life's an endless journey of learning ;__;

  9. life is about making presentation...and ofcourse,i am a presenter too..as a presenter,you will have your own strengths as well as weaknesses either you realized it or not...for me,my strength is,i have a good voice projection..that is from my friends point of view..i think a good voice projection plays an important role to make a good presentation..it is because,your audience will know what are you talking about..about my weakness,they said that my eye contact is poor..maybe,it is because my level of confident is not gooooood enough..so,how to overcome this..????? what we have to do is just,PRACTICE,PRACTICE AND PRACTICE..!!!

  10. "strengths vS weaknesses"

    lack of confident?
    No eye contact to audience?
    Nervous?
    This is my weaknesses..I'm always feel nervous when i'm in front of audience.Before the presentation, i already prepared my presentation but when i'm in front of audience, i felt so nervous..I lost my word and i've not remember my speech.I'm also dont have eye contact with audience.
    ~I will improve my presentation after this. More practice and prepared is very important to me to improve my presentation and its also give me more confident and it makes my nervous gone when i'm in front of audience..

  11. when talk about impromtu speech,I think everybody hate it..including me.

    "you r so fast",that's my 1st comment I received,my friends said I was like a 'bullet train'.I always like that when I'm nervous. That is my weakness & sometimes I got 'blank', I lost my words. I think the only way to improve me is just practise..practise....& keep practise.
    How about my strenght???eye contact..my friends said I've a good eye contact,but I think its not good enough. I need to practise more..

    I hope I can make a better speech nextime,no more 'bullet train'..
    ~LOL~

  12. hahaha...
    i'm just done my presentation a moment ago. I'm feel like my life was ruin. But i won't regret it because it is my self, i'm just appreciate my self and make a improvement not the regratation...
    my weaknesses is i'm the person who like to talk a naturally speech but i cant do it...why?
    because i'm not totally recognise my self, my strength, my soul like "feel my soul" the song by YUI, i just not to feel it farewell. when i'm stand on the stage, i'll be a person who lost his baby (like you see me on the stage just now). i cant be serius and just laugh at all.
    But, i have a motivation from my speech, everyone must have a improvement on their self. Just keep it up!!!
    hehehe...

  13. It's ok to receive ppl's critics and comments.Be big-hearted!
    Improve weaknesses and strengthen our strengths is the way to be better presenter.
    I'm shy and when im start feeling nervous,i'll forgot everything that i've memorised.This's a bad pratice! Don't ever act like me.Be serious when it suppose to be serious.Smiling is the best solution to overcome nervousness.
    I wish to bring happiness to ppl around me and i'm believe that i've succeed when i present any of my presentations.
    'Don't worry,be happy!'

  14. i just finish my presentation... woa..actually, im quite nervous earlier but i try my best to present it. well, my strength..maybe my voice projection since i have a loud n clear voice..but sometimes, it become a little bit shaky b'coz of my nervousity n maybe thats my biggest weakness too.. well, what's important is, whatever our weakness is, we must try to overcome it and as usual, always practice to gain confidence so that we can talk in front with less nervousity.."walk with confident, talk with confident, be confident"

  16. After I finish my presentation I am nervous because I am not sure it's good or not ,some of my friends said to me it's OK but you need more practice and also my eye contact, means that I need to see all the audience during the presentation.For me I respect all the things from my friends and do well at next time .

  18. weaknesses: nervous, not so confident

    This 2 weaknesses influence so much on my presentation.I cannot control myself during presentation and talk in front many people. When I have a eye contact to audience,it make me more nervous. It is because whole of them are focus on me.Haiz...

    I hope I can do it better in next time.

  21. Wow! Finally I've finish my speech, I'm feel relieved.Haha...After I've finish my speech,I learned my own criticism of myseif.My mind was blank at that moment and cannot recall back what I memories.So,I need do more practice for my next presentation.I also have a shaky voice when I give the presentation.That's because I'm nervous.For my strength, I have a good hand gesture and eye contact.So,I will improve myself for the next time.

  23. "How did it feel? The topics I choose for you was pretty easy but it was impromptu! So I bet there were things you felt you could have done better right? Blog about your strengths and weaknesses as a presenter based on the comments made by your friends. Write about how you feel about the comments? Are you justified?" Said Guru.

    Then..

    I say, "It feels good, because i am able to see how good am i in impromptu speech and how are the audience fell about even it is just among students in C13LBS, but it is indeed a good oppurtunity for me and the others to do some improvements, all thanks to Guru(^_^).. HeHe..

    Just go straight to the comments, shall we?..

    As a presenter, my strength is that i do have self-confidence in me, i am able to talk quite fluent in English(i guest), and have a few experience in presentations especially in English(^_^)..

    My weaknesses are.. my self-confidence again, if it is high beyond expectations of course..
    How can you present something if you don't even remember what the content was? so, particularly, the next weakness is the short-term memory that i have. hmmm.. maybe because of the last minute preparation... Hehe.. And.. of course, I am indeed a little bit nervous and some stage fright phenomenon occurred even though there are no stages at all.. hehe.. Wanna know something? The thing that i afraid the most during presenting or being on stage is the eyes that were looking and maybe starring at me.. wuuu~.. they were extremely scary.. haha.. but, in the future i will be the one that gonna make those scary eyes so that all of the audience will pay attention to my speech.. HAHAHAHA..

    Alright, i think that's enough for now.. looking forward to write another comments soon.. hehe.. see ya.."

  24. Impromptu speech.... is the word that have make me nervous.Whenever there is a presentation i will feel so nervous, cool and feel like want to go to bathroom and run away from the speech.
    But after the speech finish, my heart will feel so release as though something very heavy or burden in my heart has gone out n fly away.
    This speech has also help me to get to know about my strength and weakness.This points can become very useful later on.
    My strength is good voice projection.Thats mean i have a clear and good voice.This has help me to give my presentation clearly and easily be understand by the audience.
    My weakness is time management.I speak more than the time required and without no stop.Besides that,my introduction was just the normal introduction does not have the attention gather. From this speech i got 2 know that how important is attention gather and i would use it for the next presentation.
    THANK YOU.

  25. I am sorry do not know what I should say, because I rarely participate in public speaking. I chat with several friends when the opening will be released, but the presence of a time when many people would be nervous, I believe that I will try to overcome these difficulties, I believe that I ~ ~
