I was nervous that I am going to talk in Japanese infront of native Japanese audience. I was confused whether I have to memorize or whether I can just try to talk naturally after memorizing it or just try to speak without preparation.
After trying my hand at the 3rd option, I realized that my brain is not thinking in Japanese and it needed lot of conditioning.Just memorizing and presenting doesnt create any impact.The only advanatge in my side is that I am a Basic Japanese student and there is not much expectations for me. But I always get excited when I go on stage and I love being on stage.
I decided to practice as much as possible and give my best shot. I took the help of a Japanese professor and I went to the stage after memorizing it. He was my audience and I just spoke what I had memorized but with body sync. He said it is working out well and started correcting my pronounciation and stress/pause. I practiced 14 times and I felt very confident.
I went to the stage, felt very comfortable and once I started getting the attention(Which i always liked), I started doing much better than during the practice session. Their expectation was less but I delivered more and there was huge appreciation.
Practice indeed makes it perfect!!
