Recording
-Gather your audience. Tell them to participate (Laugh, nod, make eye contact with you, clap at the end...). They should face you so you can make eye contact with the audience members (NOT the camera). The camera is there to capture the performance. You should be speaking directly to the people in the room.
-Record in a professional setting. A conference room at your workplace, a classroom, or a library is ideal. The 3 Major speech may NOT be recored in your home. You must use a public/professional setting.
-If your setting has a conference table. Please tell your audience members to turn their chairs towards the speaker and not the table. This will allow each speaker to make eye contact the members of the audience. Audience members should be making eye contact with a speaker at all times : Not staring at the table. Take a look at this example
-An audience for public speaking is very important to the process. Without an audience, there is no "public." Tell your audience members to participate by nodding, smiling, laughing, and so on. Make sure they applaud after the speech. Make sure that they know that they are a part of the performance and that their behavior will help you give a great speech. They should face the speaker with their entire body.
-Here is an excellent example of a student speech recorded in a professional setting.
-The Harper library has study rooms (with powerpoint projectors) that can be reserved.
-If you are having trouble finding people to watch your speech don't be afraid to utilize your classmates. Book a room in the Library and ask if anyone wants to gather so you can watch your speeches together (be each other's audience).
-Some teachers use Speech Teams. You may want to gather your speech team to watch speeches.
-Have ALL of the audiences members wave at the camera at the start and applaud at the end.
-If you are able, please stand for your speech.
-Make sure the room is well lit. No Light above or behind you is the key.
-No editing. No cuts. This is a state and department policy
-At the end of the speech, count off your notecards and hold the content up to the camera. Some instructors may not require this, but it doesn't hurt just in case.
-You will likely upload your speech to GoReact. You teacher will watch and grade the speech online.
-Arrange to have a tripod for your camera and a clicker for powerpoint.
