Presentation Blocks Hello, so today I had a presentation and I felt like I had a lot of blocks. In the moment I thought I had improved from before but when I watched my recording I was extremely critical and upset. I compared it to my last years presentation where I had more repetitions than blocks. I believe that for this one I was talking very fast and was getting out of breathe which is why I had a lot of blocks. I had practiced with my group a few times before and had been extremely fluent whereas my group members were struggling. But when they presented they were completely fine. I also didn’t have any heart palpitation this time which is why I thought better. Any advice on avoiding blocks and talking slower? I can’t get myself to do that which is when I sound super unprepared.
