These tweaks can help your presentations go from “hello, and welcome to my kitchen” to “let’s make a deal today.”
1 - A Backdrop Curtain that looks super expensive… but isn’t.
And when I say that, I mean that bad boy right here.
Placed behind you, this is now a frame–from which you can hang anything you want.
Plants, curtains, a series of different backdrops – a clothes rack is the ideal way to separate your living space from your video backdrop. I really enjoy wool felt – it’s sturdy, classy, and has a really lovely, warm quality to it.
Want to make it part of the scene and stand out? You can choose contrasting hooks, a quirky fabric, or hang lights to bring some ambience.
(If you use a lighter fabric, or a shower curtain–weigh it down with a dowel if you want to keep it from looking like a shower curtain.)
3. A good microphone.
The best gift you can give yourself is confidence in the quality of your voice, and how you sound. That way, you can concentrate on pitching your business. There are some incredible microphones out there for every price point. If you are a working engineer who wants to keep their hands free, try a good quality headset.
4. Natural, filtered light through sheer light curtains…positioned well, facing you.
5. A high quality, black sweatshirt.
Combine these 5 things to get a lovely, balanced and professional space to pitch from… wherever you are.
