It is a little counter intuitive, but in the YouTube world we live in (which by the way, extends into the Zoom, GoToWebinar and the deliver anything online world) people will excuse a bad video image. But…
They won’t put up with bad sound.
If they have to strain or put up with bad echoes, static, humming or any of the other dozens of audio gremlins that plague amateur video production, they will bail out.
So, when I am asked about studio equipment for online presentations, I suggest upgrading to a good USB microphone first.
The difference between that quality of microphone and the lousy mic built into your laptop will be very noticeable and will help you look and sound more top-notch.
This is just the kind of practical, ready-to-use information I will offer my registrants in my upcoming 4-Day Live MasterClass: How to Deliver Brilliant Online Pitches and Presentations.
It will be the proverbial dive deep into crafting, practicing and delivering presentations to your audience, clients or industry that set you way ahead of anyone else.
We will cover:
- Understanding your audience on a deep, emotional level so that you can develop your comments specifically to address their needs.
- Learning how to build your confidence while you build and rehearse your presentation so that you will appear the ultimate professional
- How to practice the right way – I call it “Smart Practice”. This module alone, if followed even a little, will be worth 10 times the course fee.
- What the major differences between in-person and online offerings are and how to adjust every part of your presentation to fit your medium.
- How to craft a simple 1 or 2 sentences that will avoid the biggest problem almost all people face when constructing their presentation.
- How to use the not-so-secret trick used by MLK Jr., Steve Jobs and some of the world’s most influential pros to burn your message into your audience’s brains.
- How to begin your presentation – the most critical 60-120 seconds of your comments. I will offer you at least 25 options and show you my five go-to openings. (By the way: the requirements to begin effectively online are substantially different from in-person.)
- How to structure of your presentation to address the new world of online. You must grab their eyeballs and make them not want to leave.
- How to handle all the dozens of details that make up a successful online event.
- What are the requirements for an inexpensive but professional studio in your office or home.
- What are the on-camera skills you must develop to appear both professional but approachable for your best delivery. And how do you develop them most effectively.
- What do you need to do to modify and update your PowerPoint presentation for maximum online engagement and retention.
- Plus, a whole bunch more.
I invite you to learn about all this for the brave new world of online.
It’s all in my upcoming 4-Day Live MasterClass: How to Deliver Brilliant Online Pitches and Presentations.
