If you are looking for a virtual presenter for an event or gathering hosted online, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices. However, speaking on a virtual platform requires a specific skill set beyond the usual traits necessary for an in-person motivational speaker. The following are traits you should look for when choosing the right speaker for your event:
A Clear Voice
Most motivational speakers are well-versed in speaking clearly, but the virtual platform requires a more conscious effort for enunciation to ensure everyone can understand what they are saying. Sound quality is not always at its best, especially for individuals with a poor connection. An excellent virtual presenter will slow down their speaking style to ensure complete understanding. Gestures are also vital to get their message across accurately and keep the audience visually engaged.
Exaggeration Is not a Bad Thing
While exaggeration is not always the best approach, it becomes critical to get the point across more accurately when it comes to virtual presenting. Emphasizing key terms and fluctuating volume maintains the audience’s attention throughout the presentation. In addition, a good presenter will prepare a script ahead of time to avoid missing critical points and ensure the message gets through.
Create a Two-Way Conversation
Presenting virtually makes it more challenging to engage your audience. The attendees may be distracted by things going on in their environment or simply have more trouble focusing on the screen; these issues are not as common when presenting in person. However, virtual presenters should be skilled in using the tools available to engage their audience and encourage their participation. The more the audience participates, the more they will get from the presentation.
