Practice as if you’re in the space

Practice as if you’re in the space

- This lesson is an important reminder that when you practice, practice as if you are in the space. Think about where you'll be presenting. Is it a medium sized boardroom with 10 chairs or a large lecture hall with seating for 100? Will you be behind a podium or will you be free standing? What will your sight lines be? Will you have audience only in front of you or on three sides of you? Think about where you're going to need to direct your energy in order to include your entire audience. If possible can you gain access to the space ahead of time and actually practice in the space? This will help you create muscle memory for what it will actually be like to stand on that stage when the day of your presentation arrives. (gentle music)
