2022.02.17 – 0413 – Scanning Scripts And Audiences
To rescan the script
A pause gives a moment for the reader to look ahead in their script or notes to refamiliarize themselves with what comes next: the upcoming point they will make, maybe spotting the awkward word or name they need to concentrate on getting right, the ‘pitch and tone’ reset as they start a new topic.
That is: Stop. Breath. Look ahead. Or indeed, if working without notes, to think of what to say next.
Stop… and look
If you are working in front of a live audience (ok not the main target for this podcast and book), a pause gives you a moment to scan those in front of you. Spend a second or two giving eye contact to a few different areas of the audience to help them feel involved in your presentation.
