Hello! I'm Steve Kownacki and my team has the privilege of being the production company to support Real Alternatives and this Symposium.
Maybe you've been on-camera before or addressed an audience up on stage and start speaking - all the microphones, lights, slides and cameras are ready to go. That's the tech side. I'm here to make this process as easy as possible to make you look and sound your best!
Some tips to help you look and sound your best on-camera:

Some tips to help you look and sound your best on-camera:
- Avoid solid white or black, and deep, solid colors like red, green and blue.
- Fine pinstripes, patterns or checks are NOT pleasing to the camera.
- Staying with neutral or muted colors and designs works best.
- Basic makeup is fine. Today's cameras see very well. We may blot your face for oil to reduce any shine.
- Noisy jewelry is very distracting. Bangles, charm bracelets or a watch banging on the desk is a distraction.
- The lens, as well as the people in the room, is your audience, provide eye contact to both. The camera will have a tally light so you'll know which camera is ON.
- Reference your slides, but don't stare at them, then get back to looking at the lens and the in-person audience.
- Keep the desk microphone as close to you as possible. They are designed to be 4-6" from your chin.
- You may not hear yourself loudly in the room, but it's imperative to use the microphone for the recording.
- We'll review these techniques before the session.
- Be comfortable, conversational, and appropriately authoritative on your subject matter.
- If bantering with another member, maintain eye contact with them just as you would in any conversation.
- Feel free to react with head nodding and facial expressions to help make your point.
- Use of your hands is fine - but don't hit the microphone.
