You can’t talk about something you don’t feel.

Preparation of video presentations

You can’t talk about something that you don’t feel.

William Shakespeare

In front of the camera

The stage for your message is probably huge. But many people wait far too long to take advantage of the opportunities offered by video presentations. Some present unprepared in front of the camera and are not always pleased with the result.

The stage for your message is probably huge. But many people wait far too long to take advantage of the opportunities offered by video presentations. Some present unprepared in front of the camera and are not always pleased with the result.

It is a bit different when there is no audience present. People are represented by a rather unimposing camera. Even experienced speakers no longer succeed in conveying all their qualities in such situations. But here, too, your credibility is at the center of attention – it’s all about formulating your statements clearly and to the point, showing a convincing presence, and anticipating objections. Each target group has its own needs and expects a different authentic approach.

The offer: Individual preparation

To make sure that the audience remembers you positively, let me, as someone who has been in front of the camera on numerous occasions, guide you through your upcoming media appearance. I will familiarize you with the peculiarities of the specific platform and support you with intensive coaching, consulting, and individual training to …

• Strengthen your ability to concentrate in front of a camera and microphone and to transport your arguments,
• To clarify your statements and choice of words, to get to the point,
• to cultivate the contact with the target group also through the lens
• to optimize your charisma, vocal power, facial expressions, and gestures,
• to plan, set up, and use the appropriate technology

I like standing behind the camera

Before and during my clients’ appearances in front of the camera, I support them to ensure that their presentation serves their goals.

The context can be very different and so are my clients. Company representatives, experts, authors, coaches, and trainers put themselves in front of the camera for a variety of reasons. Whatever recording or transmission technique is used, the basics are classic. It is important to make the most of the opportunities. Knowledge and skills for successful presentations as well as media competence are required. Often fundamental aspects of (self-)marketing are also important.

The best technology is useless if the content, structure, and presentation are not perfect. Unfortunately, they rarely are. Beautiful cuts and the great pictures are only deceptive for a short time. Then it is recognized that no real message is conveyed. Because of the effort involved, there is usually too much hesitation to let the result disappear as quickly as possible. On the Internet, especially high gloss garbage can be quite damaging.

On the web and depending on the individual platforms (YouTube™, Vimeo™, Facebook™, Twitter™, Instagram™, etc.) different rules apply. Depending on the target group, many things can change in detail or even completely. A very good briefing is required, even if you want to do as much as possible yourself. Each audience pays attention to different priorities. What I pay attention to are above all congruence of statement and body language as well as the renunciation of cuts. Let’s find out what helps you present yourself and your message effectively.

First, inform, then decide and get started

Before you hire a talented team for the video production or start the webcam yourself, make sure that the message is concise. Learn beforehand what works and what would be a waste of money and time.

Your travel companion

For many years I support people to present themselves and their message convincingly. As part of the preparation for important presentations in front of an audience and the media, I pass on what, in my experience, is important.

Over time I have often been in front of the camera and even more often behind it. Video contributions for YouTube™ and Co. have additional idiosyncrasies that have to be taken into account. That’s why I show you how you can unfold your impact in front of any kind of camera. I support you so that you and your message are convincing. Benefit from my experience in marketing, psychology, and communication skills.
