Practice

ps3-0. Introduction

Record a video of one-two minutes describing the possible situation around your public speech or presentation.

Don't worry if you have no specific schedule talk. Imagine it.

Go over how you envision the setup, where you will stand on a stage? in the middle of a circle. Outdoors or indoors? What can go wrong? What possible distractions? What should you double-check before the audience gets there? Any thoughts on backup?

​Go over your planning, and record and send it when you are confident that you are in the one to two-minute range.
