CC13: Presenting Like a Boss: Virtual & Physical Presenting Tips & Tricks

Описание: Level‑up every talk: proven camera, audio, slide‑design and stage‑presence tricks that make virtual and in‑room presentations shine.

After 10+ years of conference talks, SANS courses and livestreams, R.J. Chap distills the habits that separate memorable speakers from forgettable ones.
Virtual polish – lighting, framing, DSLR vs webcam, mic selection & background discipline.
Audio hygiene – dynamic vs condenser mics, noise gates, compressors and why fans + phone buzz ruin recordings.
Slide & demo clarity – large fonts, OS scaling, ZoomIt/‑mac equivalents, cursor highlights and Snagit/Flameshot screenshots.
Stage craft – eye‑line, body movement, lav vs podium mics, remote clickers (Logitech Spotlight) and backup adapters.
OpSec & screen‑sharing – guest‑mode browsers, hiding desktop icons, disabling notifications, quick‑access traps.
Delivery drills – pacing, time‑boxing, Q&A handling and “designer” slide auto‑layout for non‑artists.

Takeaway: a repeatable checklist that keeps audiences engaged—whether you’re on Zoom or under conference lights.
