Week 14- The Second Week of Persuasive Presentation Speech Part II

Hi again!

I purposely came up with two different posts for this week's presentations, otherwise, 1 post for 10 presenters (plus comments plus photos) will be too crowded and that will be an eyesore. Well, there's the last 5 presenters!

Lik

Strengths

He is such a spontaneous presenter. The overview of his speech were given. Arguments presented were convincing, substantiated with credible evidences and visual aids. Slides were creative and the video clip shown was totally hilarious. He presented an audible speech, good pitch, with emotions in both intonation and tone. He built good rapport with audiences and maintained good eye contact. He was well-prepared, made good effort in extending his research by visiting fast food restaurant outlets. During the speech distributed a resourceful brochure on nutritional values of different types of fast food to the audience.

Lik in action-was a genuine presenter!

Areas to improve

There were some prominent mispronounced words such as "argument" which sounded like "agreement" as well as "walking" which sounded like "working". He seemed to have limited understanding of questions addressed to him during the Q&A session.

Lee Ling

Strengths

She is such an entertaining, professional, vibrant, and charismatic presenter! Arguments presented were very much credible and convincing. The organisation of her speech was coherent. Slides management was systematic. She had good voice projection and there were varieties in her tone and pitch. She maintained good eye contact with the audience. She projected such confident front and was comfortable with her speech. She was one of the few who presented the whole speech with fluent and accurate language use. She was over all a resourceful presenter!

Lee Ling was such a powerful and charismatic presenter!

Conclusion was a bit plain.

Johnny

Strengths

He is such an energetic, enthusiastic and zealous presenter. He demonstrated so much passion in the topic "Bermuda Triangle" that he presented. The whole session was vibrant, with constant interaction between the presenter and the audience. He also built good rapport with the audience and kept them awake with his jokes and sense of humour. The organisation of visual aids used was systematic that it cohered well with the slides and his speech content. He projected brave and confident front, with good posture and gestures. The use of voice was also effective, with appropriate varieties and emotions in his tone and intonation. He showed wide knowledge on the subject addressed. An undeniably a resourceful and reliable presenter.

Another charismatic speaker from Group 3! I wish this was videotaped!

Areas to improve

Pronunciation was quite a problem. :-)

Gerald

Strengths

He was a confident, relaxed, and well prepared presenter. He hardly referred to the text he had in front of him. He was also spontaneous, and a bubbly presenter. His speech session was interactive and interesting. He captivated audience's attention and managed to engage his audience. He kept good eye contact with the audience and addressed his audience every now and then. Attention getter was effective but it really scared the hell out of me! I had goosebumps sometimes and you really scared me Gerald!!!!!!!!

Gerald was standing tall with a great speech

Areas to improve

An identifiable mispronounced word was "haunting" that sounded like "hunting" to the audience.

Ghin Hua

Strengths

A good looking presenter with a deep voice! Well, voice projection was good and his speech was audible. A question was addressed to the audience in The Introduction and there was some interaction involved. He also projected a brave and confident character during the Q&A session. Slides organisation was logical and orderly.

Identified as a good looking presenter by his female coursemates!

Areas to improve

He appeared nervous during the speech and quite dependant on his speech script. There were distracting speech fillers such as "er" and hissing sound he made that showed he was nervous! Eye contact with the audience was limited and he always looked on the PC screen instead of embracing the audience. Conclusion was not appealing and was rather too plain.
