We are in the homestretch, you are ready to give your online presentation. If this is a big if you did the exercise I asked for in the last lecture. You have not practiced your presentation online and recorded on video and watched it. You aren't ready. If all you're doing is watching these videos of me, frankly, you're wasting your time you should be looking at some comedy, characters or something entertainment on YouTube, it'll be a better use of time than simply watching me. You've got to do the exercise.
So I beg you if you haven't done it yet, go back and video record your presentation and get to the point where you're where you're happy with it, then that'd be perfect. Like the last sentence, I stumbled over a word, that's okay. People do that in real conversation. It doesn't really matter. Get to the point where you're happy with it. And you're coming across, comfortable, confident, relaxed.
Two final points I want to leave you with number one. Like anything else, the more you do it, the more comfortable you get, generally, the better you get. So when you have opportunities to speak out to present online, take them. And you know what all of you have opportunities every day because you can make a YouTube video, commenting on your area of expertise, especially if there's anything in the news related to that. So, speak out, present online as often as possible, you'll get better and better, and you'll get more comfortable with it. The second thing is use every single online presentation you give as an opportunity to get better for the next one.
What that means is, you need a video recording of your online presentations and watch it after the fact preferably in the first 24 hours. Because how you think it went and how it actually went may be very different. You may think you were awful and then you watch You think, Wow, that was great. There's great interaction. This is fine. On the other hand, you may think this is great.
I'm really rockin and you watch it, you realize this is boring. I wouldn't want to watch me. That's useful information to know if you've ever been to a comedy club, you'll see comedians recording, they put a little recording device off of a cell phone. They're recording every stand up comedy bit they do because they want to go back and listen what that laughs What did. You're not after last but you are trying to figure out what worked and what didn't work. So if you do that record, every online presentation you get and then watch it and listen to it.
You can get a little bit better for the next one. Keep doing that over time. You'll just get better and better and better. Good luck. I'll see you online
