I read an interesting technique for improving presentations:
1. Create an outline, then record yourself pitching freeform from the outline. Practice many times until you get a recording that seems perfect.
2. Then, memorize that recording WORD-FOR-WORD, until you can deliver the "spontaneous" pitch with perfect timing every time.
I can't find the source right now, but I'm pretty sure it was an interview with Donovan Brown talking about his presentation technique @ Microsoft.
- zxed 8y agoThat’s actually very close to what my mock ups look like (and what my console app does). The only difference is the word-for-word. I have a hard time recovering if someone cuts me off so I found that keeping track of key points I wanted to make let’s me organically recover (even if it’s slightly different words). So in this app, the first step is to copy-past your 5-6 sentence script. Then select keywords , and then pitch to it :). But yes, awesome insights, do let me know if you find the article. I’m planning on having the first demo version ready tomorrow -
