Hi,
Be honest with me…
Do you like watching yourself on tape? Or even just hearing a recording of your own voice?
Chances are…
You find those things cringey, right?
Totally understandable.?
I’ve been there.
But there’s a reason why I love organizing Rehearsal Rooms for my clients.
And that’s because there’s a lot to learn by watching recordings of your own presentations.
It might still make you cringe…
But the point is to keep on finding things to improve in your presentation…
To take it to a level where it doesn’t make you cringe anymore.
See, our minds don’t always play an accurate picture of how we look.
So, while we might be feeling excited about something…
Our faces might not actually reflect that excitement.?
I mean…
I’ve had people ask me why I’m mad… When I thought I just had my neutral face on!
And your facial expressions, gestures, and body language play a huge part in your presentations.
So, if you want to relay a message or deliver an emotional speech…
What goes on in your head should match how you look externally.
And that’s one thing you can fix only by watching recordings of your presentation.
By doing this, you can identify moments in your presentation where you might be feeling passionate…
But look totally bored.
Or moments when you’re talking about something that makes you giddy and happy…
While looking neutral and nonchalant.
You may also find moments when you need to loosen up…
Bring your energy up…
Or modulate your voice for a better effect.
That’s what rehearsing your presentation is all about!
It’ll give you an accurate visual of what your audiences will see when they watch your presentation.
Also, it’ll help you match your energy and the imagery you put out there…
So you can find ways to improve and enhance your audience’s experience listening to you.
Cheers,
Carmen?
