Product Review Request

avetiquette · 10-30-2009, 10:18 PM

I'm hoping to find 5 to 10 people willing to give me a review of my new product, AV Etiquette. It's a guide for public speakers referencing the audiovisual aspect of presentation giving. It explains how to prepare for, and execute, an amazing and effective presentation using sound, video, and lighting.

I'm targeting this one for people who are just getting into speaking in front of groups. Maybe you have done a presentation on a particular topic and are planning on doing more in the future. Maybe you've been asked to speak at several events, and are building your reputation as a great public speaker. There are a number of professions that can involve public speaking, in one capacity or another. Everyone from sales professionals ,to school teachers, to keynote speakers can benefit with this.

Product Description:
The AV Etiquette Reference Guide structured in a way that allows the reader to follow along as his or her presentation is developed. Each stage of the presentation creation and execution process is discussed. Within each of these stages, the guide is divided into the audiovisual elements (sound, video, lighting, etc.). Each AV element is then discussed at length as it relates to that particular stage in the process.
Proper techniques for things such as microphones and powerpoints are covered as well as tips to improve the overall impact of the presentation.

Product Purpose:
I wanted to create a way for public speakers to do two things:

1. Create an amazing presentation that really knocks people off of their feet. There are lots of ways to use audiovisual equipment to enhance your message that most people don't think about. For example, most people don't think about how music can affect a crowd that is filing into a room to see a presentation. You've probably seen large corporate conferences where they blast some motivational music to pump everyone up. You can use that technique with any size audience. This is just one example of the benefit of audiovisual tools most speakers have at their disposal, but neglect to take advantage of.

2. Avoid any embarrassment the public speaker may experience during a presentation. Many speakers are unfamiliar with certain audiovisual equipment, and it can easily cause a disruption in the flow of the presentation. For example, some presenters may not realize that walking in front of an audio speaker while speaking into a microphone is a very bad thing. If this happens during a presentation, it will surely break the concentration of not only you, but your audience members as well. By using the techniques in AV Etiquette, public speakers can make their first presentation look like their 50th.

I am a long-time audiovisual technician, who for the past four years has managed all sizes of corporate and government conferences. I have seen countless presentations and consulted hundreds of speakers. I've seen what works, and what doesn't. I've seen more public speakers than public speakers have. I have an insider's viewpoint of the audiovisual aspect of presentations. I have seen these techniques proven time and time again.

I am looking for the following people to review this product:

1. Anyone who is experienced in public speaking, and has presented for groups of 500+ on 3 or more occasions. This would typically be professionals asked to speak at industry conferences on a regular basis, or professional speakers (keynote speakers, corporate entertainers).

2. Anyone who has presented in front of 100-500 people. This might be government officials or upper level management of corporations and organizations.

3. Anyone who has presented in front of 100 or fewer. This could involve many different situations from conference room sales presentations, to town hall meetings.

4. Anyone that has considered looking into public speaking, but have not yet made a presentation in front of a group.

If you are interested in reviewing this product, please let me know. I'm pretty new to the process here, so I'll want to talk to you and ask some questions before I hand over a copy. This is for review only.

Thanks,
T.R. Hill

This sounds very interesting.. I've done a fair bit of public speaking and would like to review your product.. but I don't want it for free, please PM me with the payment details and I'll buy it from you. Getting it early would be more than enough of a bonus.

Thanks

I will be happy to provide you with a review. By the way I haven't spoken in front of large business groups and people but when I lived in Pakistan I always participated in speech contests (I always ranked #1) and my audience ranked somewhere from 1500-2000+ people.

Now, I am looking forward to creating my own videos for the internet but I don't really have the courage to do it (don't know why?). That's my public speaking story

Thanks Todd. I have a lot of input from audio and video guys already. I'm hoping to find some people here that don't know that much about these things, but are interested in public speaking. I appreciate your interest.

I'm still looking for some people to review my product. Please let me know if you're interested.

Hi,

I was lucky enough to be asked to review this book.

I recently completed a certified course on public speaking and am planning my first presentation for early next year.

This book has some great suggestions for planning a good, entertaining presentation. The course that I completed only included preparation of material, speaking, room layout and use of power point, flip chart etc. and, after reading this book, I realise that it was woefully incomplete.

I am now much more confident that I can produce a great presentation by utilising some of the suggestions in the book.

This book would be great to promote to existing companies who teach public speaking as I'm sure that most don't go into as much detail as is outlined in the book - at least the company that I used didn't!

Good Luck with it!

Karen

I have given presentation in front of 50 people or so. And i found that i'm talking too fast sometimes and this hurry ruins my presentation. Also i do have slight fear of presentation and talking in front of group for more than 20 people. This makes me nervous (introvert nature perhaps). I'll be looking for such products when you release it.
