1) Dont practice so slowly that  you add tension, need to think about acceleration too.
2) You are not just showing that you know the choreography
3) Ushiro - up on toes then start to draw as you face door and turn - left leg is forward always with cut.
4) tsuka ate - right foot touches left knee in tate hiza
5) Sanpo giri - dont let sword go right down back. Make first cut count. LOOK before cut.
6) Shiho giri - look before cut.
7) Nuki uchi - sword goes up above head, not shoulder - shoulder is So Giri.

BY MOVING BACK FROM CENTRE YOU KEEP BOSHI ON OPPONENT LONGER - NOT JUST AESTHETICS BUT SEME

HEEL IS TOO HIGH OFF GROUND - should be height of pound coin only. TOO HIGH making you lean forward.

Chiburi - snap is by movement of chest as shake off blood and hands back on saya but not tense. Work on this
Yoko chiburi - keep blade more level, not pointing down - remember brushing carrots off table.
