Want to be a better speaker over Zoom?
Here are 10 tactics to help.
-A thread 🧵-
1. Body positioning
You need to let your audience see most of your torso.
This allows your audience to gauge whether you have an open and inviting presence.
Not only that, but you will be able to use your hands.
2. Body language
Even on zoom, body language matters. Shoulders back and open creates warmth.
Leaning in close to the camera creates intimacy.
Use your body language effectively just in real life.
3. Hands
Use them!
Not only does this make your presentation more engaging but you can also use them to create movement for the audience.
If you have two points, use your left hand on one side and the right on the other to anchor the points.
4. Movement
You can still move your body intentionally.
Want to be more informal? Move side to side & sway a bit. It helps put other people at ease.
Want to demonstrate "this or that"? Move left to right.
Excited? Move quickly to show it.
Tilt your head or nodding works too
