Teleprompters: Read your presentation from a script? October 5th 2009

Using a teleprompter well takes lots of practice, so you’re much better off studying your material and then practising speaking freely.

Reading from a script is the very last thing you would consider doing when giving a presentation. Why is it then, that as soon as people start making web videos they think they are playing a newsreader on TV and want to read a script from a teleprompter? Just say no to teleprompters for your business videos!

Looking back: 30 years of business presentations September 3rd 2009

Sell to Camera starts with a look back at 30 years experience of giving business presentations, and the changes I have seen in that time.

I gave my first presentation aged 13; the subject was my favourite record, and the audience was my school class.

Today, 35+ years later, I can still recall my choice was Elton John’s Indian Sunset from his Madman Across the Water album released in 1971. A track that turned up again in 2005 as a sample in the Eminem-produced Tupac Shakur song “Ghetto Gospel”.

Since that first event at school, I have given hundreds of business presentations in many situations, from small one-on-one sales meetings, to large trade conferences and company-wide meetings.
