Here are 5 simple tips I've learnt from 10,000 hours of presenting shark stories online.

See for yourself, book your next virtual social hour for hybrid teams.

Bookings make you happier, guaranteed. Plus, they support our Non Profit Organisation.

1 - Your voice matters (more than your video)

Ensure your audience stays engaged with clear and crisp audio.

In a world full of distractions and short attention spans, it's easy for your audience to tune out.

Unclear audio is frustrating and tiring.

Your next great idea needs everyone’s attention.

2 - Frame yourself properly.

Avoid awkward angles or distracting backgrounds.

Create a more pleasing view by dividing our screen into 9 boxes as below.

3 - Stay connected and powered up.

4 - Use a backlight for ambiance.

5 - Use a Vignette

(rather than, or with, a blurred background).
