Presenting for Video Media Training

Media Training is essential for spokespersons prior to filming company videos. Stage fright, nervousness and ‘wooden’ performances do not go over well in a video.

Media trainers help spokespersons find the sweet spot between their own natural ability, and that something extra.

That something extra is the X factor that media training can bring. Yes, body language, voice modulation and emphasis are important. But how you structure your story and the messages in it, is paramount.

Video Story

Clear media communicators get their message across through having easy to understand stories and punchy messages.

Great videos make their messages clear right from the start. They also illustrate the messages with real examples.

Using real examples is a great video presentation technique because you don’t need to remember a script. Presenting a story that you know allows you to relax and simply share your experiences.

Your story will naturally have a key point, and like any good story, that key point or key message will just flow naturally.

Video Story Structure:

Clear messages or key points

Real examples/stories

In your preparation first identity your goal, then the message that will achieve that goal and then the story that illustrates the message.

If you structure your piece to camera in this way the video editor will have ample opportunity to edit you in the best light.
