The following tip is from the Special Report, “43 More Tips on Giving Knock Their Socks Off Presentations”

Always use the microphone when it is available. It is surprising to me when a presenter opts to ignore the microphone. I’ve experienced speakers who say, “I have a loud voice” and because they don’t know how to use a microphone, choose to speak without it.

It is to our and our listeners’ advantage to request the presence of a mike and then make use of it. Without a microphone, a presenter can’t vary his or her voice quality sufficiently to achieve the personal, conversational tone that is both friendly and persuasive. With a good microphone, used properly, you can speak softly and personably, and then emphasize your points with more force. the variations are limitless.

For years (at least 6 or 7) I have been reading computer technology columns by Fred Langa, first on his LangaList and then when he merged with Brian Livingston’s Windows Secrets.

Theme: THEME

You are wondering if I made some sort of typing error. The theme for this section is THEME? Yes, that is right. I chose it because when I received a current e-zine from Maria Marsala, I was turned on by her great idea that rather than making resolutions that are soon forgotten, we should pick a Yearly THEME. In her words, “THEMES can make your year fun and focused. They’re much easier to create or use and they last much longer than a list of resolutions.”

I have even written a recent blog about the idea. She is right on, because every time I have made use of a THEME, it has helped make a presentation, a storytelling performance,
a workshop, an article, a press release, or even “Portfolio Potpourri,” flow with ease. So why not this year’s focus?
