- 0:00Speaker A: The title of the speech is your stage is waiting. And see your pocket, it's in your pocket. It's your stage is waiting. Not next month's meeting, not next year's conference right now. Because if you've got something to say and a phone in your hand, you're already at the stage. Please help me welcome Bernie Chabinar.
- 0:26Speaker B: Good evening, everyone. Thank you all very much. Look, I've got it made here because I'm going to quote from Penny's speech. She says you need to have video of your speeches online. I couldn't ask for a better introduction than that. In three weeks, I'm giving a presentation in Las Vegas to the largest writers conference in the world. And it's 60 minutes. And the title is YouTube for authors. How YouTube can help advance your author career. Tonight, I have modified that speech for YouTube for speakers, and I brought it from 60 minutes to 6. So it's modified. Tonight, it's for you as speakers, and it's how YouTube can help advance your speaker journey. Here we go. As we mentioned, Toastmasters is a perfect stage for us all to practice, like I'm doing right now, like we're all doing and like we do every other week. On the other hand, there are pros and cons of Toastmasters as far as your speaking. So if you get a chance to come up here, if Penny's not in front of you in line, for example, then you can have a talk, you know, maybe every few months, right? And then you have the immediate feedback. Great. And you get that on the spot. Awesome. What you often don't have is unless you're recording it, you don't have a recording to check out how that went. You can't then watch it again. You can't have other people look at it to get some more feedback after the immediate moment in person here in Uche. So pros and cons. This is why for you to become a better speaker, to improve your speaker experience. That's why one of the best stages is the one in your pocket on your phone. And not just the camera app, but YouTube specifically. Tonight, I am going to share with you five ways that you can improve your speaking using YouTube. Here we go. So YouTube is the videos that you create on YouTube have sort of a three sort of plus one, three different options for their visibility number. I'm going to go from the bottom. Private is as it sounds. It's only you. And it's kind of a pain even. You have to enter an email address and only that person has to sign into YouTube. It's a pain, but that's good because it's private. It is just yours. No worries. It's almost as safe as. As being on your is probably even safer than being just on your phone because if anybody gets a hand hold of your phone, they can see the video. That's private. We'll get to that. Unlisted is. This is what we do in Toastmasters. Anybody with that link can view it. Super handy, a closed group of people. But of course they could share that and then those people could see it too. That's unlisted. Finally, Public is as it sounds. Anybody on the planet can search and find your video. Extremely public. And finally, Instant Premiere is sort of like a showcase. It's kind of like live, but it's going to do a countdown and find your. Your video. So it's even sort of an uber public Good. There we go. And then I have a secret little last fifth because that's 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 tips. And I got a little special tip at the end. All right, let's jump into private. Next. Sorry. Private is a perfect place for us Toastmasters, especially beginners, because in the private area, it, as we explained, is just on your phone and it's just. Although it is up there on YouTube, which for us as beginner, Toastmasters especially can be a little scary. Because you think, this is bad enough that I'm up here right now and this group saw me, but this is up there sort of out in the world. Speaking of which, I'm not sure I mentioned that. I'm not sure if it was a bullet point, but I think it was. We sometimes here can get too comfortable with this safe space. They all know me. They'll be nice. The comments all be friendly and it'll be all, we're just family that can be a pro and a con. Right? So that's private. Private. Then this is. It's more for you and it's a great place to practice. And you are your own judge. Often you are your harshest critic, for better or worse. And this is where you can use this. I honestly think putting it up onto YouTube as private is a little bit more of a step than just having it on your phone. Right? So think about that. Remember, we're going for audacious goals tonight. We're going for big scary. Big scary stuff. Private. Next, we get onto unlisted. Unlisted. This is where, for example, you could share it with the club or share it with friends. Although friends. Friends can be a slippery slope. Because friends are biased in certain ways and they might not have that Toastmasters experience to know what to talk about. Which is why Penny. Which is why this one is good. Ask for one thing. Ask for one comment. Ask for one tiny little piece of feedback about your talk, especially for non experienced speakers. One thing. Great, let's move on to public. This is where things get real. This is where things get scary. This is where we get out of this room as we go out in that real world and stuff. Toastmasters, little tip here. Little secret from a long time. Toastmaster. Toastmasters is a bubble. We are friendly. We are all clap happy. That was amazing. Oh, my God, it's so good. Oh, my God, you're the best. Right? That's Toastmasters. And it's awesome for what it is. This is the real world. Here we go. This is where things get scary. This is where things get real. Although honestly, this is where we start learning and we learn big time. Because this is where we get the real critics and not nice people outside of this room. There's not nice people out there. Some of them. Okay, this is why you're gonna go for it and you're gonna go for value. You're gonna try to shed that ego and go for value. This one is sort of like the uber option here, right? Because this one, it does this whole countdown. It's this premiere, it's all this fancy big show thing. And this is when you're really ready to just go for it. This would be like Penny did a speech and it went well and she wants to share it even further and make it. Give it the extra little gold star of approval. That would be like an audacious goal, you know, going for that one. Good. Finally. Yes, sorry, that is this. Oh, this is actually an interesting topic. The. The premiere. It's Another option in YouTube, by the way, which I'm not mentioning, is live. And that's where you hit live and boom, you're recording and you are streaming. That's super scary, right? I do that with my dog. I'm even scared of that part. Right, so this is big time. This is like for the advanced of you here, right? And let's knock it down a notch and let's go to tip number five. And this one is the one I challenge you all to do. All that other stuff is pretty scary, right? I mean, private, okay, Maybe not so much unlisted. So if somebody shares the link, you know, probably you're like, no way. Thank you, Bradley. But no. And then premiere, you're like, who has he been talking to? And then this one. This is the one I want you guys to go for. It's on your phone. If you have a YouTube Studio app. No, no, do you need this? A YouTube app or YouTube Studio? Remember, both works. Okay. I think it's on the YouTube app itself. You click like the plus button and there's a little 15 second thing. It's 15 seconds. Winston Churchill once said, I'm sorry I wrote such a long letter. I didn't have enough time to make it short. It's harder to make shorter stuff. This is my challenge to you as I wrap this up. I would go for some 15 second shorts. Think of them as a table topic. Think of them as, I've got 15 seconds and where is 15? Who has 15? Who has 15 seconds in their day? And if you don't, we need to talk because you have other problems. 15 seconds short, go hit YouTube. Go hit, hit, record. You make it unlisted if you want do a 15 second thing. How much can go wrong? Right? Well, a lot, but it's gonna be fine. One last one. There we go. Five secret tips to wrap up in good Toastmaster style. We've got private, unlisted, public, premier and shorts. Okay, I want to see a show of hands. Who dares? I'm talking unlisted. I'm not talking scary world. Who dares who? You don't have to. I'm not going to come after you tomorrow. Who would do a 15 second short and make it unlisted? Yeah. Okay. Mondays and Toastmasters, people. There we go. About half. Good. All right, here's my dare. Next. There we go. That's it. Fifteen seconds. That's my dare to you because that's an audacious.
