Paper Aeroplane Pitch

In this post I will be evaluating my Paper Aeroplane pitch. I feel as the pitch as a whole went pretty well, I felt nervous at the start but as the pitch went on my nerves calmed down resulting me to deliver a good pitch. I tried to make as much eye contact with my audience as I could, I did this by not trying to read off the board as much and occasionally scanning the whole classroom with my eyes. I also attempted to project my voice as much as I could so my audience could clearly hear the information I was trying to tell them. I feel as by doing these things I was able to deliver a well structured pitch.

What I think went well was that I was able to calm my nerves which allowed to me enjoy presenting infront of my audience. By projecting my voice and making eye contact I feel as I was being professional in the sense of delivering a pitch which all adds up to giving a good presentation. I was able to explain in detail what my music magazine was about in a short amount of time therefore, I feel as I did a fairly good job.

If I could improve my performance and overall pitch, I would be more careful with my definitions. As I know examiners will be watching this and it isn't appropriate to mention illegal substances which led to my audience giving me a few awkward looks, which almost threw me off, so this will not happened again. Alongside this, I may use the original power-point as it will be much clearer because slideshare made it difficult for me to read my own work when I tried to use it for assistance, which I feel slowed me down a little bit as I had to constantly take long pauses. Lastly, I would be more confident with my performance as due to nerves, I didn't get to say everything I wanted to, the way I would have. I would also add a plan of how I'm going to design my magazine, as I didn't include this, so another improvement would be to add the sketches and plans of my magazine so the audience get an idea of how I want the layout of Paper Aeroplane to be.

At the end of the pitch, I was given some advice on how to better my magazine. This was simply that I should provide content which will make my magazine apply to both genders. I will probably do this by having content that just gender neutral so both genders can enjoy the magazine. This could also be done by maybe having different male and female artists. Other than that I was told that my pitch was overall, good.
