Platform Mechanics
Knowing the technical side of doing what we do as speakers. Knowing and mastering all of the “mechanical” skills of performing as a speaker.
Include:
-
Staging, lighting, choreography (movement) and sound systems which apply to each type of speaking. What they are, how they work, and how to best use them for the desired effect. Performing on video, audio, online or via satellite versus face-to-face.
-
Strategies for dealing with the most common speaking problems, ie: distractions, emergencies, inoperable equipment, poor lighting, temperature extremes, time constraints, etc.
-
Group dynamics and crowd control techniques. Differences in delivery style required to; reach small versus large groups, generate or stop group involvement, increase or decrease drama, etc. (This aspect overlaps somewhat with the “presenting and performing” competency.)
