Record yourself

Recording yourself during a presentation has become a powerful and versatile tool for improving communication skills and correcting errors.

This technique, increasingly accessible thanks to modern technology, offers the opportunity to objectively observe and evaluate your performance, identifying areas for improvement and correcting subtle errors that may go unnoticed.

To implement this strategy effectively, consider the following steps:

• Regular recording: Record yourself in different situations, from solo rehearsals to public performances. This will provide you with a full range of situations in which you can improve.

• Detailed analysis: When reviewing recordings, pay attention to your speech patterns, tone of voice, body language and other visible aspects. Identify areas where you make mistakes and focus on them.

• Set goals: Define specific goals for each recording. For example, you might focus on reducing the frequency of certain mistakes, improving the intonation of your voice, or working on nerve management.

• Constructive self-evaluation: Look at your recordings with a positive and constructive attitude. Don't over-judge yourself; look for opportunities to improve.

It is critical to emphasize the importance of a methodical approach to honing communication skills. As we explore the use of recordings as a valuable self-assessment tool, we can broaden our understanding of how our presentations are perceived by others.

This reflective approach allows us to examine key aspects of our expression and adjust our approach according to the insights gained.

By employing recording as a self-assessment tool, you can gain several benefits:

• Self-awareness and accurate self-assessment: Seeing and hearing your presentations from an objective perspective gives you a realistic understanding of how you present yourself to others. This allows you to identify errors that you might not have noticed during the live presentation.

• Identifying patterns: By analyzing multiple recordings over time, you can detect recurring patterns in your mistakes and areas for improvement. This allows you to focus on specific aspects for steady growth.

• Correcting negative habits: Recording helps you identify non-verbal behaviors or gestures that could be distracting or
