Unless you can read a script in a conversational manner, this mode of delivery can be monotonous and boring. Instead, use an outline that contains bullet points or sentences. Make sure you give yourself enough time to practice so you feel comfortable!</span></span></p> </li> <li> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'open sans'; color: #000000;"><strong>Your voice</strong>. <span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With virtual delivery, your voice plays a key role in your presentation. Be sure to enunciate your words and use a more energetic voice than you would in person. Use the verbal delivery practices on the previous pages to help you here.</span></span></p> </li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family: 'open sans'; color: #000000;"><strong>Nonverbal Delivery</strong></span></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"> <li><span style="font-family: 'open sans'; color: #000000;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Facial expressions.</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Use facial expressions that match your words to help bring life and emotion to what you say</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'open sans'; color: #000000;"><strong>Background.</strong> <span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Make sure you are in a quiet space with good lighting. It’s perfectly fine to show people personal items in your background as it helps you appear relatable and human. You can also blur your background if you prefer</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'open sans'; color: #000000;"><strong>Your laptop/computer position.</strong> <span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Don’t be too small or close up, but have your profile in the frame. Have your laptop elevated so that you are not looking down into it</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'open sans'; color: #000000;"><strong>Visual support.</strong> <span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Make sure you are well coordinated with any visual support you use. Do a test run before so you know how to present and control your visuals</span></span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family: 'open sans'; color: #000000;"><strong>Tech</strong></span></p> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li><span style="font-family: 'open sans'; color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Internet and other tech. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Check your internet connection.
