Your audience is distracted. They're on their phones, working on other tasks, and tuning out the moment you share your screen. You think you're in a meeting. You're actually giving a presentation—and no one taught you how.

"Ray helped me transform from a nervous presenter to someone who actually enjoys being on camera. My team noticed the difference immediately—I went from stiff and rehearsed to confident and natural."— Jennifer Martinez, Director of Sales, Enterprise Tech500+ Executives Trained

Basic Streaming Gear - Starter Kit

Always start with sound.A microphone you can place no more than a few inches from your mouth - talking across it, not into it.Add a simple earpiece.This could be an earbud, but I prefer wired. The advantage is that everything you hear is clear and at a volume that doesn’t impact anyone else.LightingThe best lighting is facing a window. Always avoid a window at your back or side.Overhead lights paint a shadowed image, not good for communication. I suggest a basic ring light first, then add some sort of accent light on the surface (wall) behind you.
