PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK

Check your performance objectively. For instance, a classical method to assure good eye contact is to divide the room into sections, alternating your viewing between them. Training with this method is easy in Virtual Orator; it provides a visual report of how you are doing. Do you talk in mono-tone? Integrated pitch analysis will let you know.

RECORD SESSIONS

Record your speeches and your experience. Review your speech and reactions to any situations that occur. Return to older recordings to see the progress in your training. Trainers can use this to show trainees what happened and go over it.
