Today, July 25th 2009 is not only famous for a certain birthday (mine) but also the 100th anniversary of the famous flight undertaken by Louis Bleriot. He was the first man to fly across the English Channel and there’s plenty of celebrations at Dover this weekend to mark the event.

If you want to be taken seriously in business, politics or as a presenter or other performer, one must have gravitas. To hold an audience’s attention when one is speaking certainly requires you to be somewhat serious rather than playful and light-hearted. This blog post by Sarah McCloughry (one of my latest Twitter followers) caught my eye.

Spent an enjoyable day yesterday at a well-known studio. Guided three female presenters in the art of doing a piece to camera in a green screen environment with autocue. Like public speaking, presenters need to prepare, understand the script and learn about diaphragm breathing.
Presenting, as many of you already know, involves firm control of your hand and eye movements. Yesterday, I outlined that to be a successful presenter, you ought to:
1. Have good vocal power.
2. Use appropriate hand and arm gestures.
3. Understand the script and intonation.
4. Work on one’s posture.
Having a positive attitude and being a reliable individual are equally as important!
