## Cheat Sheets

***Access Grid Presentation Pointers***
**Your audience:**
- Remember that your “virtual” audience is very much real – and in some cases will vastly outnumber the audience which is physically in the same room as you are.
- Remember possible cultural differences - know who you are speaking to when possible.
- Reduce and try to completely eliminate all “detractors” (pauses filled with “um...” etc).
- Invite audience participation and interactivity when possible (with explicit statements of how it will be moderated – speak to the crew at your AG node for details on how to moderate your particular session)
- Be sure to look for physical cues from your audience, as the microphones may not be open at all participating sites (ie, you may not be able to hear them gasping in surprise, or shuffling papers)
**The camera/microphone:**
- Pretend you are speaking to one person. Perhaps place something on top of the camera to look at if you find this helpful.
- Maintain confidence - maintain camera “eye contact”.
- You may need to work with the technical staff to ensure the camera is placed well; check with them if you have any questions.
- Speak clearly and slowly.
- Work with your technical staff to learn appropriate microphone use.
- Use high-energy delivery.
- Pause if technology fails, or if other events temporarily disrupt the event – be sure to inform your “virtual” audience what is happening, or wait for their “return” before continuing with your talk.
- Be animated in your delivery - you don’t have the luxury of in-room body language  - But stay in camera range please! (Remember your virtual audience sees you in a frame).
**The presentation and questions:**
- In general, avoid patterned clothing, especially busy, detailed patterns.
- Choose solid, bright colors that will translate well over the AG technology.
- If possible, seat yourself or stand under bright light.
- Ensure there are no lights behind you or any source of lighting such as a window.
- Be sure to talk with your production team on how remote questions and answers will be handled at the end of the presentation.
