algo a que possa dar o seu toque pessoal
Explanation:
"to put one's heart into something" pode efectivamente significar "empenhar-se" ou "dedicar-se" a algo. Neste caso, parece-me que a ideia tem mais a ver com a atribuição de um toque pessoal à apresentação, já que o empenho deve estar subjacente à elaboração dessa apresentação. Pelo menos, é assim que entendo a frase.
