'Video presenting' with Kathryn Wolfe on Teams
Talking to the camera is a learned skill. How can you make an impact via the lens and what are typical errors? Where should you look? What language should you use? What are the differences between presenting online or to an in-person audience? This workshop will teach you how to speak to camera with a natural delivery in online webinars or when communicating on video.
You need to talk to your audience, not at them. No matter how interesting your content is to you, if you do not convey it in an interesting way you will lose viewers’ attention. Common mistakes such as nervous ticks, irritating body language, poor vocal technique, sloppy diction, incorrect eyeline, formal language and tone, jargon-filled scripts, rushed pace, and running out of breath are off-putting for the viewer and will not do justice to your presentation.
You may have put many hours of work into creating your highly researched content, using your academic skills. Equally, delivering this script to your video audience needs performance skills.
This 3 hour workshop includes:
- Overcoming nerves
- Correct posture, body language
- Good vocal techniques, clear diction
- Relaxation and breathing
- Eyeline, where to look
- Writing effective scripts for presentations
- Connecting with your audience
- Talking to camera
- Hosting the event online
- Interacting with the other speakers
- Dress code, appearance
This is a premium event, limited to just 10 delegates, with expert personal feedback and coaching incorporated into the 3 hour session. Tickets are therefore £130 + VAT per person. The next session will run on the 8th December 2022 at 2pm and will last for 3 hours. Tickets can be booked below.
