Here are some best practices that will help you record a professional quality presentation.
•Practice presentation to avoid verbal pauses: Read your presentation aloud a few times prior to recording. Practicing should help you reduce verbal pauses such as "um" when recording your presentation.
•Avoid reading slides: Do not read slides to your audience. It will quickly bore your audience if you are reading something they can read for themselves.
•Do not move around excessively: Minimize excessive movements that may be distracting to your audience, such as twirling your hair or fidgeting with an item in your recording area.
•Engage your audience: To keep your audience's attention, your goal is to be as engaging as you would be if you were presenting to a live audience. Speak in a conversational tone, smile, and vary your intonations.
•Don't worry about mistakes: Don't restart the recording for mistakes. You can continue as normal and bridge the mistake by pausing and repeating yourself (if you feel it is necessary) and moving forward. Alternatively, you can pause the recording, restart it, and start over from where you made the mistake. Once the recording is finished and uploaded to a presentation on Mediasite, you can use the editor to remove the mistake.
•Use strong voice inflection: If you are not using video in
your presentation, make sure to use strong voice inflection and to repeat key
points in the presentation for emphasis.
As part of your My Mediasite user
profile settings, you can set the default visibility of presentations created
using Mediasite Mosaic recording to private or viewable. Setting the visibility
to private prevents other users from viewing a presentation, which is useful if
you want to edit your presentations before sharing them with others.
