1 Learn the concept
Once you are set up with a microphone and editing software, you are ready to hit record, but what will you say? That is where scripting comes in. You do not need to read every word, but a plan keeps you focused and helps you sound natural. This lesson shows how to prepare and speak well.
2 See it in action
- Write an outline with key points.
- Script your introduction and closing.
- Speak as if talking to one listener.
- Slow down and pause.
Worked example
Turning a script into bullets
Script: "Today I would like to discuss the importance of customer reviews for small businesses."
Bullets: reviews build trust, ask at the right time, reply to every review.
Opening line: "Do you ask customers for reviews? Let's make it easier."
Check: record the first minute and listen for a natural pace.
3 Study an example
