Okay, let's get into some skills. So we want to make sure that our audience are happy. We want to make sure that they're not hostages in the seat that they're actually enjoying themselves in the presentation. So how do we do that? Come back to the first point I made, practice, practice, practice, you cannot practice enough. It just can't happen.
So how do you practice, some of you'll be lucky enough that you'll have someone that loves you very deeply. And they'll be quite happy to listen to your presentation, the team 15 times that you need to perfect it and give really good encouraging feedback all the time. Most of us don't aren't that lucky. So we have to do some self analysis. And there's some different ways that you can do this. The first way you can do that is just use the mirror stand in front of the mirror and deliver your presentation to yourself.
This is a great way to check things like am I moving around too much Am I getting distracted? Because I'm all nervous. And I'm going like this all over the place. It'll help you see where your hands are. Are you using gestures to be purposeful? Or are your hands doing something that we did, but well because of your nerves or because you're not really thinking about it.
So using the mirror is a great way to practice your presentations. However, there's only so much you can pick up when you're concentrating on your speech, you're thinking about all those other things. So I want you to use this beautiful thing, your phone. Now, there's two different ways that you can use your phone the first way and probably the best way is to record it. So you get your visuals and you can hear the presentation. So use the camera, the recording features and your phone, or you might just want to use the audio recording so most phones have a sound recorder and the most smartphones, most smartphones have a video recorder.
It's a great way to analyze your public speaking skills. record yourself. What Should over. And look, it's really painful the first couple of times because no one likes to see themselves and no one likes to hear themselves recorded. But it does get a lot easier. Now when I was preparing for this webinar, I came across a really quick we've got nothing to do with these guys, but I actually thought it was awesome and epic cleaning.
We love new teak and very much using some new teak. So it's called RI and it's a writer AI, I think is what how they've named it. And basically what our AI does is it gives you a series of activities to practice your public speaking, and it uses AI to feedback on how well you're speaking and it measures things like the pace in which you're speaking it measures your fingers and arms and ours. It talks about your tone so it gives you it tells you how excited you are and how excited you sound. It's a really cool it. It's still in beta so it's a little bit clunky and it did crash or wait few times for me, but it definitely deserves us It's really cool.
It's a really quick so if you haven't seen it, I definitely recommend taking the wheel up. So self analysis, it's really important how we were talking earlier about your YouTube experiences you want to share. Oh, yes. So for whatever weird reason I don't. It's I find it hard to give myself self analysis until I see the finished product. So often I'll practice and then I'll upload it directly to YouTube and watch it in YouTube.
If for whatever reason singing in its final form, you really can critique yourself. And I think that might help some others as well especially if you have a weekend made home and sometimes it's just easier to practice in front of your computer instead of trying to find a little tripod to hold your phone up or anything like that.
