Ep. 141 Dont Memorize...

“…but if I don’t memorize, how will I remember my speech?” That’s not an uncommon question, but here’s a more important one: Does memorizing really allow you deliver your best presentation? Today Darren and Mark talk about a better option…INTERNALIZING. Along with explaining the difference between memorizing and internalizing, they elaborate on three specific techniques for internalizing your meaningful message and delivering your unforgettable presentation. Snippets: If you’re in your head, your emotions are dead Move your body while you rehearse; get the speech into your body Use conversational language, it’s easier to internalize Relive experiences rather than retell stories Record yourself and in a mini recorder and rehearse along with it Rehearse along with an audio/video recording of your best performance Use STRUCTURE rather than a script to help you internalize Anchoring yourself to specific spots on stage aids internalization Be present; let go of the idea of perfection Let your slides be your guides
