This 10-minute segment of instruction focuses on steps to reduce speech anxiety.

One of the highlight of attending the TED conference this past year was seeing Benjamin Zander in action. He's not only a world-class speaker on leadership and and the co-author of one of my favourite books, The Art of Possibility (along with Rosamund Stone Zander), but he is also the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic. Benjamin Zander's TED Talk brought the crowd to their feet (eyes shining). It's an amazing speech on power of passion, possibility and inspiration. You would be remised if you didn't spend the next twenty minutes watching this video: TED Talks - Benjamin Zander - Classical Music With Shining Eyes. I hope it changed your world like it changed mine.

So, if you're connected to the group and would like to connect with me directly, please feel free to do so. It was a busy week of travel and client meetings, but there were some excellent audio comments that stirred some thoughts about the future (and power) of gaming, Facebook Chat, new ideas around how we connect and much more.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Richard sent me the following email, which I feel is an excellent discussion point: You do not come off as a shy person, as I am, but how do you manage to stay so calm and relaxed when you are presenting your live feed to the community? When I give presentations to my classmates, I have the bad habit of speaking too fast and not enunciating my words clearly. You, however, seem very relaxed, you pace yourself, you are easy to understand, and you speak very eloquently while using mature vocabulary. It also appears that you are able to speak very professionally off the top of your head, assuming that you do not write out what you say beforehand. I just really admire the ways you go about presenting information. I was just wondering if you had any tips at all about pacing yourself, focusing on what you are saying, and just staying relaxed. I think this would be a good thing to bring up with the community, unless you already have, because first impressions are very important. I ve pretty much been a ham all my life. I m someone who always upstaged other people. I really enjoy doing the videos every day, for that very reason. Even though I m energetic about it, I ve refined my style over the years. I am a perfectionist when I record. I am known to literally do take after take, to get one I am really happy with. I want to always make sure I m coming across the best way that I can. I m always cognizant of the fact that most people who see my videos will see them after the fact, instead of live. Practice, practice, practice it really does make perfect. In High School, I tried out for what was called Speech Squad . Most of the comments I got were along the lines of SLOW DOWN! , because I always tended to speak too fast. Being on radio and tv has helped me to really think about what I do and how I do it. I ve been able to refine my presentation style over the years. Heck, no matter how much you practice you re going to be nervous. That s normal. Tap into that emotion and passion. Do your best to surface your thoughts in a way that is clear, cohesive and coherent. Connect with your intended audience. Even though I tend to throw in those $10.00 words at times, it s really about what s in my heart not my head. For me, it s about relaying useful information to the world. My approach has always been honest, genuine and transparent. It s true sometimes I am over the top. I get excited, and get increasingly louder as more and more thoughts jump into my head. I fall victim to saying uh and Uhm as much as anyone. That s my biggest tip. You don t have to fill every second with noise. Take a breath. Take a pause. There s no undo button or delete key if you say the wrong word, but you can still correct yourself. You re human, after all. Don t try to be too perfect. People will connect with you more when you come across as human and imperfect. Show your passion, put your heart and soul into what you re doing. The Faq Book On Public Speaking.

Below are my rough notes from some of the PodCampNYC 2.0 sessions I participated in. I hope folks who were not able to attend these sessions find these notes helpful. Note: these were created on the fly and niceties of punctuation, grammar and spelling are not always observed. Here are links to notes for individual sessions: Using widgets and social media to market events, generate sales and stimulate sign-ups Social Contests and Exponential Growth Securing a Sponsor for Your New Media in the New Media Space Audio Production 101 The Haiku Project: Using Mobile Phones For Community Creativity Using widgets and social media to market events, generate sales and stimulate sign-ups Presenter: Ben Kartzman CEO of spongecell. Here is a brief audio interview I did with Ben about spongecell: And here my the text notes from the session: Point of the session: using widgets to drive attention to whatever. The point of widget is to take content and move content across the web. Going to talk about widgets as something that can be built on one site and moved to multiple sites. Examples from audience of widgets: -youtube rss feed widget -utterz listen/watch audio/video posted from mobile phones) -ChipIn Donation widget. Makes it easier for nonprofit to focus on their mission instead of how to process donations. Whatever widget you want to build depends how you want it to live in blogs, opensocial, facebook. How widgets can be used to market better: Example: Fox WFXG community events widget. Event widget content all about marketing getting people to get off the web, or to go to a particular and go to an event. Getting people to ACT. Spongecell, easy for consumer and promoter. Make it easy for your fans to pull that info into their lives (Outlook, Facebook, etc). Question about data privacy: Can we grab peoples data using spongecell? Answer: No. Don t want to break trust w/users. Social Contests and Exponential Growth Jeremy Johnson from zinch.com Jeremy showed a case study of a contest for college scholarships that increased unique visitors to the Zinch site from 100K to 500K unique visitors over the course of 30 days. 100 or so students were selected by Zinch out of thousands who wanted to compete in the contest for scholarships. It worked like the NCAA basketball tournament with individual student against individual student. The winner would move up. This continued until there was one winner. The competition occurred over the same time period at the NCAA tournament, to piggyback of of the interest in the basketball frenzy. Registered users of zinch worth 2 points. Casual voters votes worth 1 point. Many people joined zinch to make their votes count more. Direct competition worked well-one student against another. Real time vote tally made it public. What do they use to broadcast? We can know everything about a demographic, but we will never know how to use these social media sites as well as the kids. They promoted the competition better than zinch ever could alone. Goal in creating competition creating a platform for other people to get really involved. What motivates people prize, or prestige . Zinch seeded them with ideas about how to get their campaign going. In zinch s contest, students used social media to solicit votes. For the students: Facebook groups massively important, myspace slightly less, youtube videos important. Articles in local newspapers Note: another successful contest: The BigShotLive.com 600000 uniques a day. It s a talent contest. People upload videos of them displaying their talent. Winner gets to go to hollywood and get coached on their talent. Friends and family want to promote their kids with talent. Securing a Sponsor for Your New Media in the New Media Space Presenters: Todd Cochrane and Jeff Hinz. Note: This session was focused specifically on podcasting, not new media in general. A lot of the advice seems transferable to other new media projects though. Question: Should I even try to get a sponsor? A: It is not for everyone Question: What s your content: Adult or general? If it s adult, that s going to narrow your choice of possible sponsors. Consistency of your podcast: Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Whatever it is, it s got to be consistent. Sponsor going to expect X amount of ad runs per time period. Your website: Is it just a blog? Or is it a branded nice looking website? It s important to have a nice looking website. Your RSS Feed: it needs to validate and needs to be getting updated into iTunes feedvalidator.com to check this. Finding advertisers: On your own. You keep all the sponsorship. Or use a network. It s hit or miss. Maybe best strategy is to do both. Media kit: Should contain: Who you are Who your audience is set up a survey age m/f, profession track record I ve done X shows. How much money can you expect? Is your audience niche? A niche audience is an easier sell to a sponsor who supplies that niche. CPM based buys. CPA cost per acquisition (only payed if people buy) Proposal: advertisers are going to want a writter proposal. What are they going to get (banner ad, text link, etc.) Must get a signed contract. You have to be a salesman. You have to get behind that sponsor as best you can. If it s a company you can t stand behind, then it s no deal. Want to be excited .Biggest problem, hosts not being passionate about sponsor an not selling. Do you go to company X directly or go to company X s agency? It s easier to go directly to a client. Execution, execution, execution. Do everything you agree to do. If you do, they will very likely renew. Report give them stats. best if they can log in and check it out. be prepaared to give them feedback on a weekly basis. Suggestion from the audience: businessstat: it s 20$ a month for good stats. Engage your audience in relationship to your sponsor. Build it into the conversation. Roadblocks: Show s too small website doesn t look good Make sure the content looks good Don t over report!!! Meaning, don t say you have more listeners than you actually do. Example: you say you have 20,000 listeners and 500 of them take action (e.g. click on a link to the sponsors website from your website). That s 2.5% of your audience taking action. But if you say you have 5,000 listeners and 500 people take action that means 10% of your audience takes action. That s more impressive. Be accurate. Don t over report, don t under report. Jeff is a media buyer. The biggest hurdle is a media buyer. Difficult for buyer to recommend a podcast. A lot of clients don t want to be associated with User generated content. Do you have a valuable audience? Does your audience take action when you tell them to? Is it a unique show? Is it a digital media buy or a radio buy. A lot of radio buyers would love to buy podcasts and they d buy it as if it s a radio spot. The digital buyers compare it to a banner buy they are confused. Most of the media buyers are 25-26 year old kids. If you treat it like a business and speak to them about topics you are passionate about. What the ROI, can you increase sales? Can you get them to sign up for stuff? This is why I m good. This is what I m good at. This is why I m unique. Comic book podcasts connect w/comic book publishers. Get involved in an affiliate program. It s OK to choose not to pursue sponsorship. Then it s a hobby. Nothing wrong with that. A big thing is educating clients. They know radio, tv, billboards, but they tend not to understand podcasts and takes work to get them to allocate $. Some big players are doing great, like Proctor and Gamble and godaddy. But most big potential sponsors are not. Educate them about how your going to motivate your audience and keep that relationship over time. Educate them about the fact is that it s archived and their brand will be out there for a long time. Minimum of 6 weeks for a sponsor. A full quarter even better for them to see results from your podcast. If they just want to sponsor you for a week or two or three, forget it. That is an unrealistically short time frame for them to see results. - Audio Production 101 Presenter: Matt Ebel Editorial presenter: Matt is a suburb presenter and his music rocks. To listen to some of his tunes, check here. Good audio does not mean filtering audio in your editing program after your recording. Good audio starts with recording well. Clear your room. Isolate yourself. Eliminate the competition. Turn off your cell phone. Turn off noisemakers dishwasher, AC unit, laundry machine Roomates and pets Late night is good -let s people moving around using the bathroom etc. Seal yourself into a padded room. Pillow, blanket, towel plug under door. If you start to overheat, take a break, open the door, turn on the AC and then start again once it s cooled off. Use a long cable and put your pc in a the closet. Use wireless mouse and keyboard. Sound bounce=flutter echo, they bounce around and it your mic over and over again generally bad. Two ways to stop the bounce 1) Absorption. ( soft surfaces) and 2) Diffusion (hard, irregular surfaces) breaks the sound up. Absorption: Auralex acoustic foam. 1 inch pyramid foam is good. Egg crate mattress pad at wal mart (cheaper) A tapestry,a blanket looks nice. Anything textured and soft works. Rug Diffusion. Auralex panels. Science panel -looks better. or you could make it. Or a bookshelf with different sized mixed up books. Anything that s not flat. _________ How many flat surfaces do you treat? Vocal booth, drum room cover most all flat surfaces. Broadcast not so much. maybe 50-70% Cover the area facing your face. auralex.com/pcf You fill out the form and send it to auralex and they send you your recommendation. Then you can place your alternative materials there instead of using their product, or use their product. Next -Plug stuff in. Knowing which mic you need. 2 kinds of mic dynamic (cheaper, less sensitive, doesn t need power) and condenser (more expensive, more accurate (sensitive) Studio night goal is to make it seem like you are in the room. pick up all the frequencies. a better net to catch more sound. diff mics have diff pickup pattern. Cardioid. Omni directional. Figure 8 pattten good for an interview w/one other person. sm58 designed to pick up the human vocal range right in front of it. Ok, for solo podcasting. nt1a, nt2a (about 250$) diff pickup patterns. needs soundboard w/phantom power. Blue snowball. condenser mic. good rich sound. cardioid or omni. usb mic. powered by the USB mic. Rode podcaster large diaphragm dynamic mic. cardioid. _________________ POINT THE MIC AT YOUR MOUTH!!!!! Prentent it s a laser pointer directed at your uvula. Diff mics listen in diff direction. Be scientific and record this is my mouth at 1 inch. this is my pout at 2inches etc. and pic the best one. _____________________ Plosive shield. Wire coat hanger and nylon pantyhose on a hoop and a goose neck to hold it in place rule of thumb halfway between your mic and your mouth. be scientific and test where it should go. ______________________ Notes about posture. The better you breath the better you sound. Imagine a cable on sternum and cable on your tail pulling pulling opposite directions. Do not SHOUT (unless sound horrible is your schtick). makes your voice tired, and picks up annoying frequencies. ________________________ Setting up the mic. cell phone electromag interference. turn it off. keep at least 4 feet from sound equipment if you need it on. ___________________ Interface USB microphones. If you are using a handheld recorder, the digital recorder zoom H4 highly recommended. mxl mic mate converts xlr-to usb and powers condensers via the usb. The Haiku Project: Using Mobile Phones For Community Creativity Presenter, Jonny Goldstein (yeah, that s me). The Haiku Project was something Jonny started as an experiment to see what would happen if he asked people in his online social networks to write and record original haiku poems to the web using their cell phones and the service, Utterz. Why haikus? Most people in the United States who have gone through school in the last couple of decades are familiar with haikus. Haikus are accessible, don t take a big time commitment, yet can contain great creative depth and emotional range. Promotion: Jonny s blog, Twitter, and Utterz. Duration of project: The month of February, 2008. It s good for the creator to participate in the project if she/he is going to ask other people to take part. If you invest your time, better chance others will too. Initially asked people to add the tag haikuproject to their submissions, but compliance was low, so then just asked people to have the word haiku in the title. That worked better. Used the mobile phone multimedia blogging service Utterz.com for people to record their poems from their phones. Results: at least 14 people submitted a total of over 40 poems which were listened to hundreds of times. Also, as a result of the project, Jonny was featured in a Washington City Paper article about DC area haikuists. Question from audience: How to create a geographically specific contest like this? Not sure. Finally we recorded a brief collaborative story at the end of the workshop to demo using a cell phone for a group creative audio-project. More info about the Haiku Project here. I hope these notes are helpful. If you have any questions, shoot me an email at jonny (dot) goldstein (at) gmail.com.

Here are links to notes for individual sessions: Using widgets and social media to market events, generate sales and stimulate sign-ups Social Contests and Exponential Growth Securing a Sponsor for Your New Media in the New Media Space Audio Production 101 The Haiku Project: Using Mobile Phones For Community Creativity Using widgets and social media to market events, generate sales and stimulate sign-ups Presenter: Ben Kartzman CEO of spongecell. Here is a brief audio interview I did with Ben about spongecell: And here my the text notes from the session: Point of the session: using widgets to drive attention to whatever. The point of widget is to take content and move content across the web. Going to talk about widgets as something that can be built on one site and moved to multiple sites. Examples from audience of widgets: -youtube rss feed widget -utterz listen/watch audio/video posted from mobile phones) -ChipIn Donation widget. Makes it easier for nonprofit to focus on their mission instead of how to process donations. Whatever widget you want to build depends how you want it to live in blogs, opensocial, facebook. How widgets can be used to market better: Example: Fox WFXG community events widget. Event widget content all about marketing getting people to get off the web, or to go to a particular and go to an event. Getting people to ACT. Spongecell, easy for consumer and promoter. Make it easy for your fans to pull that info into their lives (Outlook, Facebook, etc). Question about data privacy: Can we grab peoples data using spongecell? Answer: No. Don t want to break trust w/users. Social Contests and Exponential Growth Jeremy Johnson from zinch.com Jeremy showed a case study of a contest for college scholarships that increased unique visitors to the Zinch site from 100K to 500K unique visitors over the course of 30 days. 100 or so students were selected by Zinch out of thousands who wanted to compete in the contest for scholarships. It worked like the NCAA basketball tournament with individual student against individual student. The winner would move up. This continued until there was one winner. The competition occurred over the same time period at the NCAA tournament, to piggyback of of the interest in the basketball frenzy. Registered users of zinch worth 2 points. Casual voters votes worth 1 point. Many people joined zinch to make their votes count more. Direct competition worked well-one student against another. Real time vote tally made it public. What do they use to broadcast? We can know everything about a demographic, but we will never know how to use these social media sites as well as the kids. They promoted the competition better than zinch ever could alone. Goal in creating competition creating a platform for other people to get really involved. What motivates people prize, or prestige . Zinch seeded them with ideas about how to get their campaign going. In zinch s contest, students used social media to solicit votes. For the students: Facebook groups massively important, myspace slightly less, youtube videos important. Articles in local newspapers Note: another successful contest: The BigShotLive.com 600000 uniques a day. It s a talent contest. People upload videos of them displaying their talent. Winner gets to go to hollywood and get coached on their talent. Friends and family want to promote their kids with talent. Securing a Sponsor for Your New Media in the New Media Space Presenters: Todd Cochrane and Jeff Hinz. Note: This session was focused specifically on podcasting, not new media in general. A lot of the advice seems transferable to other new media projects though. Question: Should I even try to get a sponsor? A: It is not for everyone Question: What s your content: Adult or general? If it s adult, that s going to narrow your choice of possible sponsors. Consistency of your podcast: Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Whatever it is, it s got to be consistent. Sponsor going to expect X amount of ad runs per time period. Your website: Is it just a blog? Or is it a branded nice looking website? It s important to have a nice looking website. Your RSS Feed: it needs to validate and needs to be getting updated into iTunes feedvalidator.com to check this. Finding advertisers: On your own. You keep all the sponsorship. Or use a network. It s hit or miss. Maybe best strategy is to do both. Media kit: Should contain: Who you are Who your audience is set up a survey age m/f, profession track record I ve done X shows. How much money can you expect? Is your audience niche? A niche audience is an easier sell to a sponsor who supplies that niche. CPM based buys. CPA cost per acquisition (only payed if people buy) Proposal: advertisers are going to want a writter proposal. What are they going to get (banner ad, text link, etc.) Must get a signed contract. You have to be a salesman. You have to get behind that sponsor as best you can. If it s a company you can t stand behind, then it s no deal. Want to be excited .Biggest problem, hosts not being passionate about sponsor an not selling. Do you go to company X directly or go to company X s agency? It s easier to go directly to a client. Execution, execution, execution. Do everything you agree to do. If you do, they will very likely renew. Report give them stats. best if they can log in and check it out. be prepaared to give them feedback on a weekly basis. Suggestion from the audience: businessstat: it s 20$ a month for good stats. Engage your audience in relationship to your sponsor. Build it into the conversation. Roadblocks: Show s too small website doesn t look good Make sure the content looks good Don t over report!!! Meaning, don t say you have more listeners than you actually do. Example: you say you have 20,000 listeners and 500 of them take action (e.g. click on a link to the sponsors website from your website). That s 2.5% of your audience taking action. But if you say you have 5,000 listeners and 500 people take action that means 10% of your audience takes action. That s more impressive. Be accurate. Don t over report, don t under report. Jeff is a media buyer. The biggest hurdle is a media buyer. Difficult for buyer to recommend a podcast. A lot of clients don t want to be associated with User generated content. Do you have a valuable audience? Does your audience take action when you tell them to? Is it a unique show? Is it a digital media buy or a radio buy. A lot of radio buyers would love to buy podcasts and they d buy it as if it s a radio spot. The digital buyers compare it to a banner buy they are confused. Most of the media buyers are 25-26 year old kids. If you treat it like a business and speak to them about topics you are passionate about. What the ROI, can you increase sales? Can you get them to sign up for stuff? This is why I m good. This is what I m good at. This is why I m unique. Comic book podcasts connect w/comic book publishers. Get involved in an affiliate program. It s OK to choose not to pursue sponsorship. Then it s a hobby. Nothing wrong with that. A big thing is educating clients. They know radio, tv, billboards, but they tend not to understand podcasts and takes work to get them to allocate $. Some big players are doing great, like Proctor and Gamble and godaddy. But most big potential sponsors are not. Educate them about how your going to motivate your audience and keep that relationship over time. Educate them about the fact is that it s archived and their brand will be out there for a long time. Minimum of 6 weeks for a sponsor. A full quarter even better for them to see results from your podcast. If they just want to sponsor you for a week or two or three, forget it. That is an unrealistically short time frame for them to see results. - Audio Production 101 Presenter: Matt Ebel Editorial presenter: Matt is a suburb presenter and his music rocks. To listen to some of his tunes, check here. Good audio does not mean filtering audio in your editing program after your recording. Good audio starts with recording well. Clear your room. Isolate yourself. Eliminate the competition. Turn off your cell phone. Turn off noisemakers dishwasher, AC unit, laundry machine Roomates and pets Late night is good -let s people moving around using the bathroom etc. Seal yourself into a padded room. Pillow, blanket, towel plug under door. If you start to overheat, take a break, open the door, turn on the AC and then start again once it s cooled off. Use a long cable and put your pc in a the closet. Use wireless mouse and keyboard. Sound bounce=flutter echo, they bounce around and it your mic over and over again generally bad. Two ways to stop the bounce 1) Absorption. ( soft surfaces) and 2) Diffusion (hard, irregular surfaces) breaks the sound up. Absorption: Auralex acoustic foam. 1 inch pyramid foam is good. Egg crate mattress pad at wal mart (cheaper) A tapestry,a blanket looks nice. Anything textured and soft works. Rug Diffusion. Auralex panels. Science panel -looks better. or you could make it. Or a bookshelf with different sized mixed up books. Anything that s not flat. _________ How many flat surfaces do you treat? Vocal booth, drum room cover most all flat surfaces. Broadcast not so much. maybe 50-70% Cover the area facing your face. auralex.com/pcf You fill out the form and send it to auralex and they send you your recommendation. Then you can place your alternative materials there instead of using their product, or use their product. Next -Plug stuff in. Knowing which mic you need. 2 kinds of mic dynamic (cheaper, less sensitive, doesn t need power) and condenser (more expensive, more accurate (sensitive) Studio night goal is to make it seem like you are in the room. pick up all the frequencies. a better net to catch more sound. diff mics have diff pickup pattern. Cardioid. Omni directional. Figure 8 pattten good for an interview w/one other person. sm58 designed to pick up the human vocal range right in front of it. Ok, for solo podcasting. nt1a, nt2a (about 250$) diff pickup patterns. needs soundboard w/phantom power. Blue snowball. condenser mic. good rich sound. cardioid or omni. usb mic. powered by the USB mic. Rode podcaster large diaphragm dynamic mic. cardioid. _________________ POINT THE MIC AT YOUR MOUTH!!!!! Prentent it s a laser pointer directed at your uvula. Diff mics listen in diff direction. Be scientific and record this is my mouth at 1 inch. this is my pout at 2inches etc. and pic the best one. _____________________ Plosive shield. Wire coat hanger and nylon pantyhose on a hoop and a goose neck to hold it in place rule of thumb halfway between your mic and your mouth. be scientific and test where it should go. ______________________ Notes about posture. The better you breath the better you sound. Imagine a cable on sternum and cable on your tail pulling pulling opposite directions. Do not SHOUT (unless sound horrible is your schtick). makes your voice tired, and picks up annoying frequencies. ________________________ Setting up the mic. cell phone electromag interference. turn it off. keep at least 4 feet from sound equipment if you need it on. ___________________ Interface USB microphones. If you are using a handheld recorder, the digital recorder zoom H4 highly recommended. mxl mic mate converts xlr-to usb and powers condensers via the usb. The Haiku Project: Using Mobile Phones For Community Creativity Presenter, Jonny Goldstein (yeah, that s me). The Haiku Project was something Jonny started as an experiment to see what would happen if he asked people in his online social networks to write and record original haiku poems to the web using their cell phones and the service, Utterz. Why haikus? Most people in the United States who have gone through school in the last couple of decades are familiar with haikus. Haikus are accessible, don t take a big time commitment, yet can contain great creative depth and emotional range. Promotion: Jonny s blog, Twitter, and Utterz. Duration of project: The month of February, 2008. It s good for the creator to participate in the project if she/he is going to ask other people to take part. If you invest your time, better chance others will too. Initially asked people to add the tag haikuproject to their submissions, but compliance was low, so then just asked people to have the word haiku in the title. That worked better. Used the mobile phone multimedia blogging service Utterz.com for people to record their poems from their phones. Results: at least 14 people submitted a total of over 40 poems which were listened to hundreds of times. Also, as a result of the project, Jonny was featured in a Washington City Paper article about DC area haikuists. Question from audience: How to create a geographically specific contest like this? Not sure. Finally we recorded a brief collaborative story at the end of the workshop to demo using a cell phone for a group creative audio-project. More info about the Haiku Project here. I hope these notes are helpful. If you have any questions, shoot me an email at jonny (dot) goldstein (at) gmail.com.

Beach Walk 626 - The Innocence of Jeffrey Deskoviclt;/a> Imagine you were arrested at age 16 for a rape and murder you did not commit. You were held and questioned without parents or a lawyer. You were eventually convicted (despite contradictory DNA evidence), and served 17 years in jail. The result is Jeffrey Deskovic, and I am amazed at the grace and light that is he. A few months ago I read the amazing true story of Jeffrey Deskovic. He is still a young man who has been through some amazing trials already, and yet has come through them with grace and strength. I invited him to the Podcamp NYC conference to meet other new media creators for interviews, and to learn how to use this technology to further his own message. Our episode barely scratched the surface - I hope you will check out these other links. Jeffrey's Web Site - Read artcles, sign the petition, and hire Jeff to speak.

http://www.globalchange.com Secrets of successful presentations. Make sure audience seating is well laid out offering maximum intimacy with the speaker as well as excellent viewing of screen and stage area. Many venues are unsuitable for the event planned pillars, architectural features, ceiling too low, lighting very poor, no room for back projection, acoustics poor, room too long and thin, too large or too small for ideal audience seating arrangement. Ensure stage area is properly lit. Professional lighting is vital for larger corporate events. Make sure speaker able to move without stepping out of light. Make sure projector is very bright and screen surface is kept dark. Make sure speaker knows where he or she can go while still being well seen. All world class presentations to larger audiences involve an element of theatre, suspense, mystery, anticipation in a way similar to theatre performance. If there is no performance, then the audience sees only a boring version of how the person would normally communicate sitting in a chair in their own home.
