Personal Critique - 10/20

I was actually pretty impressed with myself when I played back the critique tape.  For the most part, I thought I spoke clearly, although when I was reading I thought that it was a little too obvious that I was reading in the way that I spoke. I think I stammered a little much for my liking, sometimes my words all jumble together before they come out and since we're on a time limit I find it difficult to answer coherently especially when I don't understand the question and then I feel a little dumb having to re-ask but I guess I have to get over that. I read an interview with Robert Smith from the Cure once and he said that a lot of times in interviews he will pause for a moment before answering a question so he can think and that a lot of times people think he's a bit dim for it.  I definitely understood that sentiment standing up there because I would stop and think but then I felt like I was taking too long and I could only imagine what was crossing everyone's minds. I did feel pretty dim. But really, aside from collecting my thoughts a little better I did well in addressing the questions that I understood.
