Experience taught me that the best way to handle technical glitches during a speech is to stay calm and composed. If it is the microphone that starts misbehaving, just let the technical team handle that while you continue speaking with your audience, raising the volume of your voice to take control of the auditorium. That will enable you to deliver your message more efficiently and effectively without losing the attention of your audience.

Ah, the dreaded technical glitch the uninvited guest at every modern speech. When it strikes, staying composed is key. One must channel their inner Zen, smile, and perhaps quip, "It seems even the technology couldn’t resist taking a pause to reflect on my words!" Such moments offer a delightful opportunity to engage with the audience, humanize the speaker, and show that eloquence isn't tethered to a microphone or projector. I might just add that "I could resort to smoke signals, but I fear they’d only enhance the drama." In short, adaptability and a touch of humor keep the message flowing, tech or no tech.

Das wichtigste in so einer Situation ist es auf jeden Fall ruhig und gelassen zu bleiben. Das klingt einfach, es aber nicht. Daher ist es ratsam, sich 1. gut auf die Pr?sentation vorzubereiten, sowohl inhaltlich als auch technisch. Inhaltlich hei?t, dass man die Pr?sentation notfalls auch ohne technische Hilfsmittel fortsetzen kann. Technisch hei?t, dass man die Technik vorher ordentlich testet, um die Wahrscheinlichkeit von technischen Pannen zu minimieren. Und 3. kann man sich vorher geistig schon darauf vorbereiten, dass immer etwas Unvorhergesehenes passieren kann. Wenn Du Dich damit abfindest, wird es Dir leichter fallen, in der Situation ruhig und gelassen zu bleiben. Mehr Tipps dazu findest Du auch in meinem Buch.

Staying composed during technical glitches is crucial for maintaining audience engagement and credibility. One effective strategy is to have a backup plan in place, such as printed notes or a secondary device, which allows you to pivot smoothly if technology fails. Practicing mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing, can also help you maintain focus and composure, enabling you to deliver your message effectively despite the disruption.

Don’t let your charm fall due to a technical glitch! Till time the glitch is fixed try to get the audience personally or take those topics which are not that important or small conversations. This will keep the audience engaged and help you to tackle the situation better.
