On TV Talking Sausages!

Tip – If you want your audience to connect with you, make sure you connect with the WORDS you are sharing with them!

LOL, last time I was on TV talking tea with Tre from The Apprentice…

This time I was on the Lee Anderson show talking sausages… yes that Keir Starmer stumble got us giggling again.

Watch a clip from the show below....????

Seriously though, when it comes to public speaking, scripts can be a devil.

Some scripts are written to be read

And

Some scripts are written to be said.

As I mention in the clip, the problem with READING an autocue is you can end up with a jumble of meaningless WORDS that you aren’t owning. This can compromise your authenticity or worse still come across in a non-sensical manner.

Reading an autocue is quite tricky. I felt sorry for Keir Starmer when he stumbled on the word 'sausages' (instead of hostages). It was a slip of the tongue, clearly, no big deal. However, with my producer’s hat on I can tell he wasn’t connecting with the words he was reading at that moment, at that time.

The takeaway here is this…

If you do have a script or autocue, make sure they are YOUR words, words that you connect with as YOU.?
