The Weekly Tutorial: Presenting Unplugged

Weekly Tutorial. Day 4 of 4. Presenting Unplugged.

The final S is Space. How do you use the space in the room? Some tips:

Tip 1: consider how you position yourself. If you are standing you are fully in control. If you are perched on the back of a chair, you are beginning to hand-over to the audience. If you are sitting, you are handing over almost fully to the audience; you can immediately re-gain control by perching or fully standing.
Tip 2: consider how you position the audience. Every barrier such as a desk reduces intimacy. But too few barriers causes anxiety.
Tip 3: think about your own body language. Practice alone to allow the rhythm of your words and your expression to be re-enforced by your arms and voice.
