Revised reflection

I feel that my podcast came out really well. I think that I captured my audience very well. I felt like my topic could have been geared toward anyone that has an open and loving heart, and this is what I used to focus on my listener base. I put a lot of thought into how I was going to focus, and I went with the “you” to set a feeling of talking directly to my listener. I wanted the person hearing my podcast to feel like this was specifically for them! Along with my audience I feel that my purpose was very clear in this topic. I think that the individual listening to my podcast knew exactly where I was going with it, and there wasn’t much room for confusion. I was looking to inform people of the joys and the growing need for volunteers, and I think was greatly accomplished! Now as for my organization on the topic, I feel I could have worked a little harder on this point. I started my podcast all over the place. I took a lot of my ideas and just put them down, then went in and rearranged how they were said. I think my point was brought across very well, however I still feel that I could have pieced it together a little better! For the presentation part of it all, I was extremely nervous recording this project. I have a hard time talking in front of people, and this just felt like the whole world could hear me whenever they want to. My voice was shaky and no matter how many times I tried to re-do it, it always seemed to come out sounding exactly the same! However I feel like I did a good job of presenting my information and getting my point across. I am very happy with the way the final recording came out. I think it had an over all good tone and feeling. Not only was I able to get my point out, I was able to do it with confidence! The final recording could have used some opening and closing music, but I didn’t know how to do that very well. I didn’t want to mess it up at all so I just left that part out. If I knew more about the program and technology I feel I could have made my podcast a lot better! Finally my research was biased mainly on my own personal knowledge about the subject. I used the official Special Olympics website for a few ideas and some background support, but the majority of the information came from my participation in the events over the years. I hope everyone enjoyed listening to what I had to say!!!
