I agree with T J Walker that everybody make mistakes especially during our presentation.And i am facing this problem right now.During the presentation ,i always make mistakes in the aspect of grammer and pronounciation.I get panic when i do the mistakes.I should not panic and i should try to cover it up by react as usual on the stage.We are not going to be perfect!Just don't show it when we did mistakes and we can try to improve on it so that we can minimize our mistakes for the next presentation.

It's not wrong making mistake, but we have to prepare not doing too much mistake. And we must realise that we cannot makes our presentation perfect without any mistakes. As TJ Walker said, everyone makes mistake ecspecially in presentation. The keys is, we must know how to cover the mistake that we makes and don't show it to the audience. Sometimes, the audience doesn't realise our mistake. So, don't be so scared to make presentation. Thank you.

Making mistake is a normal thing for a normal human even thought the excellent speaker.But making too many mistake are unaccepted.We should learn how to cover our mistake during the presentation.For me, i will panic when i realised that i have done the mistake when in front of the crowder.I know that it will affect the performance.Practise more!!It can improve our speaking skill and confidence.

It is normal to make mistakes in our life just like what our presenter had just said.Naturally we will make mistake when we talk in public. It happens more easily if we are nervous and when we are aware of the mistakes we had just did , we tend to make even more mistakes after that. So, i have learnt from this video is that when we make mistakes try to cover it up if we have the chance or else don't show it in our reaction like upset and frustrate.My opinion is just smile to the audience if we did mistakes and carry on with our speech no matter how awful it started.Anyway i don't think any audience would mind , they are human too.

Since I was small, I was always afraid to make mistakes because I assume that when I make a mistake, I will be laughed by my friends and teachers. But since I heard a quote that says "We can learn more things by making mistakes", and I stand firm on this quote because it is true. When me make mistakes, we will try to analyze why,how and what mistakes that we have made. This will makes us to do better next time and never to repeat the same mistake again.

Mistakes..Mistakes...everyone make mistakes especially in front of many people.Eventhough we have do enough preparation before comes out but for sure we make mistake at least one.As a human being,we cannot run from make a mistake but we can control it.Reduce the risk to make a mistake when do a presentation.Control the nervousness and everything will be fine.

Mistake?tell me,who do not do mistake?For sure if we did mistake we want to cover it up.For the first step,do not felt nervous and just cool down.The most important thing is do not make such a weird face or expression that fade audience's trust in us.So,whatever mistake we did,just acting cool and cover it as we can...

BISMILLAH.. I LEARN SOMETHING WHICH I NORMALLY DID DURING MY PRESENTATION OR SPEECH BEFORE. ITS ALL ABOUT OUR REACTION WHEN WE MAKE MISTAKE DURING OUR SPEECH. A GOOD PEOPLE MIGHT FACING THE PROBLEM IN POSITIVE WAY LIKE BEHAVE LIKE A NORMAL WITH NO CHANGE OF FACIAL EXPRESSION AND STAY CALM AS NOTHING HAD HAPPENED AS THEY SIMPLY COVERED AND REALIST THAT THE WAY PEOPLE HEAR IS NOT THE SAME WAY HE READ OR SPEAK. A NOT SO GOOD PEOPLE WILL HAVE DOUBLE TROUBLE PROBLEM WHEN IT COMES TO THIS AS FIRST THEY ARE NEGATIVE THINKING AND KEEP THINKING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS ARE THINKING WHEN HE SAID SOMETHING MISTAKES AND SECOND THEY THEMSELVES SHOWING TO AUDIENCE THAT THEY HAVE MAKE MISTAKE BY USING BAD FACIAL EXPRESSION. SO, THE BEST WAY IS BY STAY CALM AND DON'T PANIC. TALK IS NOT ALL ABOUT HOW SMART AND TALENTED HE IS BUT HOW TO DELIVER THE SPEECH AND MESSAGE. REGARDLESS OF THE GRAMMAR, VOCAB, PRONUNCIATION AND WHAT SO EVER MISTAKES WE HAVE MADE. ITS OK. JUST TALK.

I feel that this clip is very informative. When ever we make mistakes in our talk, there’s always a chance to cover it up. Like what TJ said, listening to a person speaking is not like reading something from text. Normally people will not go through each and every word that we are saying. They only get the overall picture of what we are going to deliver. And of course, we must not make it a habit to make mistakes as well. And one more thing bout making mistakes is that, we got to learn from our mistakes.

In our daily life we always make mistakes even we realize it or not and so with our presentation. Every body make mistake even for the professional lectures, prime minister and even for a normal person like us. So, don’t show that you are made mistake because something the audience not listen to all the word that you are saying, the only heard the main point of your presentation. And if you make mistake, don’t shows that you are already made mistake like looking upward or shake your body or even bite your lips just be cool and relax. Don’t really show your panic. Everybody is not perfect so just be cool if you make mistake but don’t make too much mistake because so on the audience can detect that you are made mistake if every time you make mistake.

For me, as humans we always do the mistakes even we know or not. It also same like me, sometimes i do the mistake expecially when we do the presentation. The message is very delivered to me. And the presenter have a good communicate and good voice. The presenter gives the example that the mistake that we always do when present, and it can remind me for dont do the same mistake when presentation. Its very good for me. It can teach me to be a good presenter.

We are humans,we are not perfect. So,do not feel shameful/disgraceful whenever we did mistakes. It's just normal. The important things is we have to learn from our mistakes.
Okay,back to the topic. I think that it's important to cover the mistakes up in our presentation. It's advisable to minimise the mistakes. But,in case we make mistakes,do not ever let the audiences know that you're upset with yourself.Do remember, not to wag your tongue in front of your audiences. It looks not professional. We,however,can tell a jokes to save ourselves from the embarrassment.This video clip is very useful.
Thank You.

I'm absolutely agree with TJ. I always make mistake in front of people. And i know, how perfect the speaker is, he or she also do a mistake. If it not big, maybe a little mistake. My secondary sschool teacher also always say like him. I'm nervous when i have to be in front of people. When i'm nervous, i'll forget what i'm going to say. When i forget, i'll be clumsy. Obviously people will see my mistake. But after a year to the year, i still remember what my teacher have said and try to improve myself. Now, i'm not trto memorize what i'm going to say. But as TJ said, be relax and try not to panic. Eventough, i'm still be panic. hehehe...

Everybody must make mistake during give speech, but how you react when you get the problem. The audience can know our mistake by looking our panic reaction during your speech. In this topic how do you cover your mistake ? The great speaker is always realize that what their say is different what the audience hear. When they had do a few of mistakes, they try to cover it by pause a little moment to make them feel calm down before the continue their speech. If there is stuck, they do not use unintentional “um” or “uh” to continue their sentences because the adding it to a speech can make the audience feel boring. So, if you want give speech, try follow a few of step that given above.

I agree with TJ WALKER, as we human being make mistake easily.
During presentation the frequency of making mistake is higher. To be a good presentator, we should have the ability to manage the mistake. otherwise it will make us panic, and forget the points. So, we should build up our confidence to not panic. As TJ said memorising is not a good way present 100% perfectly, but its make people make mistake easily. So speaking spontaneously and confidencely is the way to improve our speeching skills and coverup the mistake made.

When he say that everybody make mistake, I really agree because I usually make mistake in my presentation. But he give the tips on how to cover that mistake so we don't look silly in front of many people. I get that we must not easily be panic when we make minor mistake in our presentation. if we panic, people will assume that we have bad presentation. Otherwise, panic can lead to out of control situation. When this happen, we will be go down and our presentation will ruined.

Making mistake is just a normal thing in our life.I'm sure every will make mistake eventhough a professional speaker or professor do make mistake during their presentation.The different is only sometime or often.The most important thing is what should we do to cope the problem when we make a mistake during the presentation.Don't feel nervous or fear when we make a mistake because it will only make our mistake continuosly.Try to make it easy by just make it as a joke or speak it with confident.No one will realize or laugh at you unless you show the silly things in front of the audience.

That is right! Doing mistake in presentation is not a big deal. We don't have to feel ashamed, because as a human being, everybody is not perfects. Mistakes is one of the learning process to become an excellent person. We can learn from the mistake that we have done. But as a human being it also make us keep thinking about the humiliated thing. I think I need someone to help me about this..(^_^;)

'no body perfect'.even the professional speaker also had doing the mistakes when they are presenting their ideas.when we are presenting in front of the audience,try to not read every single words on the slide so that if we are making mistakes, the audience will not unable to detect it.actually people does not know our mistakes but our reaction to mistakes will let them know.don't be panic and try to covered up the mistakes so that the audience will respect us because we can handle the mistakes calmly without destructing our presentation...

Actually,we as human can't run from the mistakes especially during presentation eventhough good speaker, offer speaker or everyone to be train.Everyone is not perfect.First of all,if we do the mistakes, we should not be panic in front of audience.If we show our nervousness of course the audience can detect our mistakes on the stage.For me,it is ok if we do the mistakes at least we realize it and learnt something.Next presentation,we will be more careful and do the best as we can.Chayok!

As everyone know,make a mistake while speech is normal things.But it is depends on how we react to the mistake that have been done.Firstly, do not panic and not shows that you have make a mistake.Remember that,not all people are perfect and actually it is normal things to make a mistakes.The great speaker know how to cover the mistake that he do and he realize that not all audience hear their message in the same way.Most people that speak by follow the full skrip will more boring and poor compare to the speaker with many grammars error but still soundsokey.

After watching this video, I reazile that making mistakes is very common thing among the human being. The main point describe by T J Walker is we should try to cover our mistakes which we done when we doing presentation or in daily life style. Do not show up that we make mistake like panic or upset and try to cover up like a professional speakers.

mohD aZMeEr said...

dont ever feel regret directly or do not think too much about the mistakes that we had done during presenting our speech...
jus let the mistake gone and never ever take a long time or make a bad face impression just after we done a particular mistake before...
the thing we should do is about to forget the mistakes or incidence before, and try to think something or try to make something interested thing in order to cover our mistakes before...
"who is the that never do a mistake right???...

This video talk about a mistake when give a speech such as look up, swept our sweat and many more. He also mentioned that good speaker will cover his mistake without the audience knows. Many speaker speak with a bad grammar but it sound still ok. Most mistake can be find out by the audience because of our reactant.

Making mistake during the presentation is a normal things for a human because human is not imperfect body.However,as a human being with higher wisdom than others living things, we should know how to do a good presentation and try to cover up the mistake before our audience recognise it. If we can do it well,sometimes maybe we can cover up our mistake perfectly and would be noticed by our audience. We should learn how to be a best presenter on the stage.
