25 Live Virtual Speeches: Production Quality, Clear Videos, Professional Backgrounds
Learning Objectives
- Identify strategies for effective video delivery.
- Apply the best practices to the Me Speech.
Your nonverbal communication matters, even in a video! Your first speech in this class is a video speech. You will need to think about your appearance and your background as these are two nonverbal aspects of video speeches. Appearance includes not only your clothing and grooming but also the lighting and camera angles – it is everything your audience is seeing. Your background includes what is in your camera frame – again what the audience can see. You should see a pattern here. Anything the audience can see communicates nonverbally to them. Make sure you are nonverbally communicating the right message!
Watch the speeches below provide tips to enhance your visual appearance while delivering a LIVE speech in a virtual setting.
The first video demonstrates the importance of lighting, camera angel, and your ZOOM/Webex background.
The second video introduces you to ring lights and the “do’s and don’ts” of lighting while delivering a speech.
