Reflection of Pitch

When sharing my speech with other people, there are many advantages and disadvantages to my pitch that I am proud of and I could improve on. 

               The things that I thought let me down in my pitch was the speed of my talk. For example when sharing my idea I started to get nervous, meaning that the speed of my speech got faster and faster.  Audiences might not understand what I’m trying to get across or cannot keep up with what I am saying.

Another disadvantage of my pitch is that because I was nervous I started moving my hands this could be good and bad but I see t as bad, this is because when explaining my pitch and moving my hands the attention of what I am saying could go on the movement of my hands creating more of concentration onto something else.

            One more disadvantage of me sharing of my idea was going on for too long, the audience I was pitching to was a younger audience meaning they have a shorter attention span the adults. Talking too long causes them to become less interested. This also led to me to talk faster because I was trying to get everything I thought that was important into my pitch.

 There are also many things I did that were positive and create me with a good pitch. These were talking with confidence, this is because I understood and I knew what I was saying, because I rehearsed before the day of the pitch.  I’m also not a shy person; because of this I was able to explain my ideas without being so shy and quit.  

              Another positive is that I engaged with the audience, I made sure that I had eye contact with the audience, I made sure that I had there attention and made sure they understood what I was trying to put across. This also links with being confident and having a strong solid voice. I also had quite a lot of hand-outs and things for my audience to look at, this is to engage the reader and connect the with what I am trying to talk about.

 

I also used a different type of way of presenting my advert; I used a board putting my different type of research on. This Is so I’m. Not reading off a presentation, which creates a boring way to show my idea.
