Self-reflection on TED Talk
Preparing and delivering a TED Talk is truly a challenging job. I had some problems with coming up with a creative idea, and when I did have an usable idea, research and sources became a new issue. There are not many articles and books about my topic of self-discovery, and most of the points that I wanted to bring up were no where to be found in sources.
Despite the initial difficulties, I was pleased with the content of my speech. It contains all my ideas in a mostly organized flow. The weakness of the speech lies in its length. I realize that my speech is considerably long and dense, which would make it difficult for the audience to keep up with the idea while keeping their focus. I intend to make up for this by the use of visual aid and media, as well as formatting the content to follow a joyous style.
The style of the speech was relatively inspired by one of the TED Talks I have seen; however, it is a quite accurate portrait of my style: a little bit funny, quirky, and a bit unconventional. Thanks to the feedback from my class, I was able to make it more interesting. However, I notice that my speech requires a lot of interaction with the audience, which I did not have during my delivery. Thus, I do not know how the speech would turn out if it is played in front of a crowd like real TED Talks. Other than that, I think my volume and pacing were good. I might have had some pronunciation problems but hopefully they did not affect the speech much.
Thank you for your patience with my first TED Talk.
