2024
I found that I always feel very unconfident when presenting my work to others. I think it's because I worry too much about how others will judge me, and I get overly nervous about public speaking. Therefore, I want to use this project as an opportunity to build my confidence and overcome my fear of public speaking. I found a style of speaking that I really admire — Julian Treasure's TED Talk, "How to Speak So That People Want to Listen." I chose this speech because I think his body language is excellent. He chest out and confident, maintains good posture, and interacts well with the audience — all of which I currently lack and hope to learn. So I started imitating his speech. I mimicked his clothing, body language, and script, trying hard to make my own speech resemble his. To improve my fluency, I practiced and rehearsed over 40 times, recording each attempt on video. I discovered that one of the most effective ways to reduce nervousness before speaking is through extensive practice — building muscle memory. I edited the entire process into a video to document my growth.
我发现当我向别人陈述我的作品时，我感到非常不自信。我想这是因为我总是过于担心别人的评价，对演讲过于紧张导致的。因此，我想通过这个项目提高自己的自信心，克服对公开演讲的恐惧。我找到了一种我很欣赏的演讲方式。来自Julian treasure的TED演讲《如何演讲才能让人愿意倾听》（How to speak so that people want to listen）。我之所以选择这个演讲，是因为我认为他的肢体语言非常好，他挺胸抬头的显示出自信，他善于与人互动，而这正是我现在所不具备的，我想学习这一切。所以我开始模仿他的演讲。我模仿他的服装、肢体语言和演讲稿，努力的让自己演讲起来像他。为了提高我的熟练度，我坚持练习和排练了 40 多次，并且用视频的方式逐一记录。我发现，演讲前不紧张的重要方法就是多练习，形成自己的肌肉记忆。我将这个过程剪辑成了一个视频用于记录我的成长。
