Is Your Team Ready to Speak to Camera?
What is iCan Speak To Camera?
These days, your staff must be able to present as confidently and effectively through the lens of a camera as they can in the room.
Most of the speaking skills we use in the room are transferrable but there are some important differences to consider when speaking to camera.
We need to pay special attention to issues such as lighting, sound, background, distractions, volume, and “lens contact”.
iCan Speak to Camera will give your staff the tools and skills they need to impress and influence others whether they are recording video content, presenting via a screen, or in the room.

Recorded Presentations
The iCan Speak to Camera course is practical, interactive, and designed to leave a lasting impression. Every delegate will deliver a short presentation to introduce themselves, and these brief talks are recorded for later analysis.
Group Discussions
These recorded presentations are played back to the group for constructive discussion, analysis, and evaluation.
This is a fantastic way to introduce the topics that will be covered in the session while providing delegates an insight into their natural strengths and weaknesses, so they can see which areas they need to improve.

Training is split into key learning modules, which are layered to provide delegates with an increasingly detailed understanding of how to speak to the camera.
Throughout the session, they are given the opportunity to put what they have learned into practice, and this also gives them a feel for how they are progressing.

Course Content
iCan Speak to Camera can be delivered as a half-day course for 5 participants or a full-day session for 8–10 delegates.
The content is broken down into modules, which have been designed to build knowledge and strengthen confidence and capability, and the focus is on helping delegates to upskill and refine their delivery.
Delegates will learn presentation skills that are particularly useful when speaking to an audience via a camera and at live, in-the-room events. They will also learn the key differences between the two platforms to give them the confidence and the skills to tailor their delivery accordingly.
