WEBVTT 00:00.140 --> 00:07.070 Let's talk about how to prepare for your presentation videos so that it's really on point and tightly 00:07.070 --> 00:09.220 shown when you're doing it. 00:09.230 --> 00:11.510 I'll give you a few of the common options. 00:11.510 --> 00:16.850 The easiest is to just bullet point out what you want to say and have it in front of you. 00:16.880 --> 00:24.440 When I actually filmed the trick that I use that helps everybody, the student and myself, is I actually 00:24.440 --> 00:30.410 make slides as my bullet points, so the slides help to reinforce the learning. 00:30.410 --> 00:36.770 I'm reinforcing what I'm saying with text slides, and while I'm making the video, I'm actually looking 00:36.770 --> 00:37.520 at the slides. 00:37.520 --> 00:43.760 So it helps me present better and it helps the student and that's what I use and that works best for 00:43.760 --> 00:44.240 me. 00:44.270 --> 00:51.490 Some people script out the entire speech, but that can be a little robotic when you're reading the 00:51.500 --> 00:58.040 dun da dun da dun da dun and it's very time consuming to script out the entire thing word for word. 00:58.040 --> 01:04.410 Now sometimes you will possibly have some clients who might give you an entire script to say and you 01:04.410 --> 01:06.930 don't want to go off script, so you need to do that. 01:06.930 --> 01:11.380 If you have a script, people use a teleprompter. 01:11.400 --> 01:12.930 Let me show you what that is. 01:12.930 --> 01:15.990 Here's an example of a teleprompter on Amazon. 01:15.990 --> 01:17.190 I'm not selling this product. 01:17.190 --> 01:18.060 It's a random one. 01:18.060 --> 01:20.580 I don't use it, so I don't know which one is best. 01:20.580 --> 01:25.530 I feel like it's a little bit overkill, but some people do find it helpful. 01:25.530 --> 01:28.950 See how it has the words right there. 01:28.950 --> 01:30.630 So it's in front of you. 01:30.630 --> 01:34.920 It's going to look like you're looking at the camera, but you're really looking at the script. 01:34.920 --> 01:37.350 And that way you don't have to memorize the script. 01:37.350 --> 01:42.300 You can just follow along perfectly if you've seen the Oscars or something like that. 01:42.300 --> 01:46.830 The presenters, that's what they use, something like that, just in a different form. 01:46.860 --> 01:48.840 A teleprompter is something you can buy. 01:48.840 --> 01:50.820 It's somewhat relatively affordable. 01:50.820 --> 01:52.770 As you see, it's over $100. 01:52.770 --> 01:59.580 If you're struggling with cohesion of your videos and if you're not confident, this might give you 01:59.580 --> 02:02.880 the confidence that you need to present better. 02:02.880 --> 02:07.200 But I recommend at least preparing by creating the bullet points like I do. 02:07.200 --> 02:11.940 And if that really doesn't help you, then you want to go the extra step and script out and get the 02:11.940 --> 02:12.450 teleprompter.
