What it does
Practise the whole moment.
Prepare the slides. Enter the room. Speak through the nerves. Then decide what to change.
Choose your audience.
Start with two interviewers or a small class. Move to a boardroom, conference or auditorium when you are ready.
Get useful feedback.
See your pace, pauses, filler words and slide timing. Leave with one clear focus for the next take.
Practise the questions too.
Answer likely follow-up questions, give short briefings and train pacing, clarity, pitch and projection.
Your material
Slides in.
A rehearsal plan out.
Use your own presentation or choose a built-in practice topic. Slides, notes and timing stay together for your next session.
- PowerPoint, PDF, OpenDocument and images
- Per-slide notes and timing
- Section practice and presentation Q&A
On the local Mac app
PowerPoint remains live.
Connect the original slideshow so its animations, charts, builds and embedded video still work. Put it on a room screen, desktop monitor or a smaller laptop at the podium.
Live PowerPoint control currently requires Microsoft PowerPoint and Podium for macOS. Static deck rehearsal works on web and Windows.
After the take
Useful, specific and yours.
Replay your recording, see what happened and choose the next step. There is no public score or leaderboard.
Why it works
Specific practice
Use the deck, audience and questions that resemble the real event.
Gradual exposure
Increase difficulty in steps instead of forcing one overwhelming attempt.
Repeatable feedback
Work on one observable behaviour, record another take and compare.
Private by default
Practise badly, stop early and try again without anybody else watching.
