Modern and Professional Speaker Demo Videos
When you\'re a professional speaker, your demo video is one of the most important marketing tools, second only to your website. Any successful professional speaker today on the speaking circuit has a well produced, effective speaker demo video. But what makes a great speaker demo video?
Grab the viewer\'s attention quickly, keeping in mind who will be viewing your demo video. Corporate decision makers move through demo videos quickly and want to be drawn into your video immediately or they move on to the next candidate. Your demo video will qualify, as well as disqualify, so make it like a movie, tell a story and engage the viewer immediately.
Your video has to describe your expertise, credentials and experience using a voice over to explain your ‘Why you are the right candidate for your topic\' message.
Be careful not to over state your message. It is more appropriate to show, instead of tell, when it comes to your message. Whenever possible, include video clips of your message and include stories. There are always exceptions, however; try to keep your clips to 3-4 minutes each so the viewer can feel as though they were in the room.
If you interact with the audience, show it in the demo. If you bring the audience on the stage, show it in your demo. If you are funny, add humor clips; if you are not funny, don\'t try to be funny.
Try to use more than one digital video keynote presentation. If you only have one that looks and sounds good, than use one. Previously, I used to tell professional speakers to use as many stages as possible, but the market has changed and almost all viewers look for quality. Make sure you qualify the video recording company before you hire them to record your presentation.
When deciding to video record your keynote presentation, choose events that have nicely lit and decorated stages whenever possible. Of course, high quality footage with a basic stage is better than low quality or no video at all.
If you can afford it, use two, or even three, camera angles. The third camera could be locked down and have no camera operator. In the edit suite, we can edit the third camera to add movement to the demo video clips more so than with one or two cameras. We live in the MTV generation where viewers are used to seeing multiple camera angles. Plus, this switching of cameras in your demo video clips adds energy.
Use camera two and three built in camera microphones to capture the audience reaction and mix audio accordingly in the edit. It\'s great when the viewer has the full sound perspective as if they are right in the same room.
The speaking industry is experiencing a major transformation. It is more important than ever to make sure your demo video is the best it can be so you get more bookings. Your financial investment in your demo video is more important today than ever!

Re: Promoting Videos On YouTube.com - Tube ToolBox
- Videos posted on youtube get good search ranking and that too very quickly .Moreover Google puts a small picture icon on search results which draws attention more then other simple links.

- Shri,
This online tool is great for the following:
- Webpage walk throughs or showcasing a website and it's functionality
- Demo something on your Computer
- Presentations of your powerpoint slides
You can have a number of users online at the same time and you are given a free teleconference line (may be long distance to the callers or you have the option of a toll fre number).
you can now have customers from across the continent - including overseas at a presentation. No need to book rooms, AV equipment, snacks etc. etc.
You can also record the conference to be replayed at a later time. So do a conference once and make it available on your site.
does anyone use a similar tool (gotomeeting or webex) in other creative ways?
