Much like a movie trailer, a speaker reel captures your best speaking moments, which means that you need to create one that absolutely sizzles!
Remember, you only have seconds to effect the AIDA principle:
Attention
Interest
Desire
Action
Without an effective speaker reel (or worse yet, a poor quality one) you’ll only be faking it and you’ll never get to making it. But you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It will take time and some clever maneuvers to achieve a demo that can sell you well.
Here are your keys to a speaker reel that will leverage your success in the public speaking arena.
It is your speaker reel’s purpose to convey your professionalism, confidence, skill set, and experience. These are the tick boxes those who pay speakers want to be checked off.
Who Are You?
You may want to have some VIP comment on your behalf, or you can choose to use your own voice to clearly explain your qualifications and experience.
B-roll Graphics
Excerpts running in the background, which provide more essential information in a non-verbal way, including moving music.
Your Elevator Pitch
What are your key areas of effect and expertise and why you get paid to speak.
Presence
Include clips of you on stage and audience reactions, as well as a line from your keynote address or one of its catchy titles in view.
In addition to getting you booked as a paid speaker, a professional speaker reel will get you additional mileage. A smart video of the energy you exude, the effect you have, and your personal skills with relevant b-roll splicing adds a level of subliminal CTA (Call To Action) that you don’t need to verbalize. Speaker reels are a clever way to showcase your experience, audience reaction, and testimonials.
