The Dread Pirate Home-Base

GoREACT is pretty cool. You might even say its the bees knees of the presenting world. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but I've never watched myself present before (come to think of it, I'm not sure I want to ever again!). It was definitely enlightening to watch my mannerisms and see what I am doing right, and what I still need to work on. The biggest thing that I noticed is that I have a very noticeable home-base. Watching myself on GoREACT, I noticed that as I presented I repeatedly returned with my hands clasped in front of me. It was distracting to me as I watched, so I can't imagine how distracting it was to the audience! Anyway, I do think that it is awesome to find out these sorts of negative habits so that we can work on eliminating them. How do you stop yourself from doing something involuntary? I haven't a clue. Tying my arms to my sides seems like a good idea. I will keep you posted with results.

  1. I totally agree. I must say watching myself present was one of the weirdest things of my life. I also have home base issues also. Let me know if you find any effective strategies to solve this, i sure could use them also.
