Fundamental Tips, Techniques & Tools for Virtual Zoom Meetings and Presentations_PART 2
Welcome to the Fundamental Tips, Techniques & Tools for Virtual Zoom Meetings and Presentations_PART 2
Physical Skills - What your audience See & Hear is critical
Sight
· Look directly at lens minimum 70% of time (avoid looking at screen / keyboard)
· Smile frequently - a sincere smile will help connect with your audience
· Perceived eye-contact critical. If looking away for extended time - explain why
· Use your hands / arms to gesture. Use emphatic gestures to support your message
· Ensure they are visible – above the waist
· Framing: avoid a ‘talking head’ - show minimum head & shoulders (or more) shot
· Sit up, back straight, avoid slouching / leaning back / or rocking in your chair
· If possible, stand for your meeting (you’ll look & sound far better)
· If standing - stand straight. Avoid hands in pockets, pacing, ‘dancing’ or leaning
Sound
· Volume scale 1-10 speak at minimum volume 7-8
· Ensure you are not monotone = perception dull / boring
· Use inflection, intonation, variety and energy in your voice
· <<Pause>> Frequently (2-3 seconds minimum)
· Breathe during pauses, helps to ‘chunk’ your delivery and allows time to process
· Use verbal ‘sign-posting’ to ensure a clear road map of your talk
· Delete all non-words. Avoid ‘Umms’ & ‘Errs’. It’s distracting & dilutes your message
