I’ve always considered myself more of an analyst than a speaker so, like most people, I worked off my strengths. Then, after a few months of speaking to a group at work about project statuses, I decided to test myself to see how I perform during a presentation. I started a semi-casual video series on YouTube about video games that I enjoy as a 40+ card holder. I’ve watched the video a few times all the way through after posting it and, honestly, I’m split. Part of me thinks it turned out ok for a first time post. The other part of me is horrified, haha.
I ended up doing several short retakes due to the number of times I said “um” and “uh”. It didn’t eliminate the number of times I said it but it did significantly reduce them. This will be the hardest part and challenge myself to improve my presentation skills through this series of exercises.
From the perspective of this blog, I am tying some of the self-improvement and learning aspects throughout each video production. I should be to measure then-and-now versions comparatively. So here it is! Please check it out and let me know what you think!
