Speak clearly and naturally on camera for social videos, webinars, courses and sales funnels. Speaking to a camera is a different skill from speaking to a person, because nothing comes back. There is no nod to tell you a sentence landed and no question to tell you it did not, so the habits that a conversation hides come through: speaking faster than the words can be taken in, breathing high and quickly between sentences, running one idea into the next with no gap. This is coaching on pace, breath, pauses and how the information is ordered, practiced on a video you are actually making.

What gets coached

Pace and breathSpeaking fast is heard as nervous rather than as energy, and a quick high breath between sentences is felt by a listener before it is noticed. Both are trainable and neither is a confidence problem.
Pauses, and where the cuts landA gap between sentences is what gives somebody room to take the last one in. It is also what makes a clean cut possible, so an edit does not have to stitch a sentence back together.
Speaking off the cuff from a shapeThe order is agreed first: what comes first, what comes last, what to cut. Then you say it in your own words, take after take, until it comes out as speech instead of as recitation.
Meeting the buyer where they areBuyer awareness is how much the person watching already knows about the problem, the fix and you. Knowing your subject from the top of it is not the same as walking somebody up to it, and a video that starts too far up loses the people it was made for.
The mindset before the first takeThe warm up and the priming that happen before recording starts, so the first take is not automatically the worst one.
How this gets fixed

The service is speaking coaching for the videos in a funnel or a webinar

On camera speaking coaching is billed by the hour, and you bring a real project to it. A funnel video, a webinar segment, an ad. The shape of it gets worked out with you, what comes first, what comes last and what to cut, and then you speak from that shape rather than reading a script, because a read script is heard as a read script.

The camera runs the whole time. Watching yourself is the part that changes how you speak, so the hour is filmed and the recording is yours afterwards at no extra charge. Having it cut into a reel you can post is an add-on package.

It is finite. The work is practice, feedback and practice again, and once pace, breath and pausing are trained they stay trained. Nobody needs this every month.

How you sound

  • Pace, because speaking fast reads as nervous rather than as energy
  • Breath, because a quick shallow breath is heard before it is noticed
  • Pauses between sentences, which is what gives somebody room to take it in
  • Where the clean cuts land, so the edit is possible without stitching a sentence back together

FAQ

Questions about this service

How is this different from sales and pitch coaching?

That one is a conversation: somebody asks a question sideways and you answer it. This is a camera, where nothing comes back and every habit the conversation was hiding is on the recording. The techniques are not the same.

Do I need a script?

A script is usually what makes a video sound read. The shape gets worked out with you, what comes first, what comes last and what to cut, and then you speak from that in your own words. Talking off the cuff is the thing being trained.

What do I bring?

A project you are actually making. A funnel video, a webinar segment, an ad. Practicing on something real is what makes the session worth the time, and you leave with footage of it.

What if the webinar or funnel has not been written yet?

Webinar Presentation Strategy, Writing and Slide Design creates the webinar and slides. Sales Funnel Setup builds the pages, email, payment and tracking. Email and Text Automation builds longer follow-up sequences. This coaching works on how you deliver the material once it exists.

Do I keep the video we film?

Yes, the raw footage is sent after the session and it costs nothing extra. If you want it cut and captioned, that is video editing, priced by how much footage there is.

I speak fine in person. Why would a camera be different?

A conversation gives you a nod, a question, a face. A camera gives you nothing, so pace drifts up and breath gets shallow with no feedback to correct against. That is a mechanical problem and it responds to practice.

Can this be done over video, or does it have to be in person?

Either. It runs over video, or in person inside the local travel radius. Further out, travel is added and said before it is booked.

What if I need more than one session?

Sessions after the first cost less, because there is no project to read cold and the setup is known. A half day covers a whole webinar taken end to end, or several videos in one sitting.

My audience already knows all this. Do I still need the buyer awareness part?

That gets checked rather than assumed. If the audience and the offer are not settled, the messaging workshop is the right thing first, and you get told that rather than sold a session.
