Show Notes

2023.06.20 – 0901 – Lack of Prep Time


·        Lack of time or effort to prepare mentally – perhaps you are tired, ‘under the weather’, in pain or returning after a break. There may be distracting ‘life events’ in your head: deaths and illnesses, relationship breakdowns or financial pressures. Even if you can’t step away from these physically, try and do so mentally, from the editorial process in the newsroom or studio: the talk and the technicals. Prepare for your performance: the message and the mood, the pace and pronunciation… and all of the other keys to communication

 

Research[1] suggests that how much we experience mic-fright, can be down to factors such as:

·        Anxiety partly inherited through the mother’s hormone levels

·        Parental obsession with one’s practice, exams and career success

·        Parental criticism or demands to be quiet
