Public Speaking - Avoid using a microphone
Whenever possible avoid using a microphone. Even if it is sitting right there in front of you. Your natural, unaided voice is a sound that people will be much more responsive to. We are becoming conditioned now to screening out of electronic voices.
Teacher-Training - Structural Vowels
At SpeechMasters, our teacher-training technique calls on the teacher or his assistant to shoot raw video footage, and upload it to Youtube. We then download, edit, and annotate clips for training purposes. We set up a video-conferencing meeting with the teacher, and discuss the video footage together--both to address specific issues, and to refine training methodology. Teachers should then show the lab video to their class, so that they can learn from it directly.
