Lee Evans? Michael McIntyre? Gabby Logan? Sir Richard Branson? Jack Dee? Russell Brand? Tina Fey? Kelly Holmes? Jimmy Carr?
Whoever it is you can learn a great deal about presenting by watching them closely. Think about who you like to watch. What is it that they do? How do they use their voice? What expressions do they make? How do they use their body? Do they have props? It may be just a glass of water.
You can learn a lot by turning the sound right down so that you can’t hear them and just watching. Can you still understand the story that they are telling? How do they stand? What do they do with their hands?
What makes each different? Why is it that you like them so much? It certainly won’t be just what they are saying!
Watch closely and study what they do and then incorporate it into the way you present. Little things can make a big difference. But you aren’t looking to do an impression: you are looking to learn the skills of presenting and improve what you do.
Have fun. And, maybe even do an impression. A 60 Seconds in the style of Lee Evans!
NOTE: I must give credit to Phil Berg my Managing Area Director for this idea.
