A few handy tips for your recording

  • write your speaking notes on a paper (you will see only your slides on your monitor)
  • you can also make a hard copy of your presentation if needed
  • practice your speech a couple of times to avoid recording your presentation many times
  • consider the place where you will record your presentation, e.g. avoid possible interruptions by your colleagues, family members or ambulance sirens, etc.
  • first, record a short video with the introduction of yourself and the first slide to check what it looks like – especially the volume and quality of sound
  • put a stopwatch on your table to see how much time is left.
