In the Middle Ages, people believed that when the mischievous sprite that you want to listen
something that would do the opposite happens. Many professionals still show biz
believe in them. I can testify to their existence. I saw them in action.

Once, when I attended an American Society for Training and Development
International conference and exhibition, a speaker began by saying that
the opportunity to present in front of his colleagues werecompletion of
lifelong dream. It 'been a bad choice of words. The public has responded
enthusiastic. Sprite, which reacts with the freezing portable presenter.

The host apologized and asked for permission to restart the system. When the computer has tried to
recovery, the presenter stalled. 10,000 people are waiting … and wait … and wait.
After 10 minutes, and a second computer club, the show finally started.

I had already forgiven up to this point. After all,sprite can attack anyone. It is
What happened next surprised me. Presenter could continue without
wait for PowerPoint to load, but are not prepared for an attack by trolls.

I have seen the attack sprite other speakers. In 2002, an ASTD Conference
presenter was known about the appropriate use of PowerPoint slides. Again
sprite attacked. There was a typo on a slide, and one participant said
presenter ago. Presenterdiscontinue the offer and change the slide as
Entire audience waited. The Goblin is undoubtedly laughed.

In 2003 I was the presenter attacked. If I find a discussion of early cell-derived
Music causes in the course of modern training programs, an elf commanded my computer
download the software. I was forced, as the commentators before me, stop me
presentation and to proceed with a puck.

All three examples are true. The presenter sitting on the pitch. Alltrouble
public. All have been avoided. In this article, I hope to help you to be smart
sprites examining the extensive preparations show biz professional practice. In
abbreviation of these preparations are prepared, we will discuss each of
acronym step sequence, starting with the plan.

Schedule
The plan is the most critical part of a show, but least noticed by
public. In order to know the length of HollywoodGo to the planning of a film
consider the current phenomenon of the film The Lord of the Rings. DVD extended
edition of the Fellowship of features now crucial to
years of planning that went into this production, including development of concept,
Script, storyboard, nice selection, character development, the creation of music
and actor casting. All this information is added to the success of the film. Some
were mistreated destroyedit.

Presentations, but not participating, which still requires planning. That planning is often
starts with a concept that has evolved into a screenplay. I am aware that some presenters
quite a deal. Outlines provide a spontaneity. But what they lack specificity. A
production show biz does not contain a large amount of information easily visible in a contour.
An act of scripting puts a discipline on the performance that can not be
obtained in another way.

Forexample in which the game can be literally life or death, examines the law
trade. Lawyers script opening and closing arguments, witnesses script
their testimony, and judges of the script explanations of their decisions. They plan to
Then he will say in court, so it would be factually correct and logical
ass.

Scripting forces to decide what means what you think
associated with what you said and howWhat say inevitably leads
a grand finale, where every detail of the benefits of connection. So
Foils the first step towards the sprite is to put everything on paper.

Practice
In entertainment, you can identify the pros. They have so much that
Not seem experienced. The flow. "Flow occurs when we know so little
completely that the merger is no longer necessary (much like our daily way:
We proved that the stationmonths).

Mind steady, repetitive, numbing repetition beyond the price limit
Artists pay for the stream. They examine the script line by line to trace
logistics performance. They determine if the props should be placed
As each item and the person will receive from point A to point "B" and correct
link in the script. These run-through, but patience and time
brystsyg chains, many of the mistakes that draws sprites. Asfollowing
performer becomes one with the ad.

Explore
With practice and repetition behind the facade of the stream you should sprite
Look for another opening. Seek the unexpected. Therefore, you should take
time for all the possible unanticipated challenges Explore. Some people accuse me of
an "Eeyore" on this subject because I think too much potential disasters.

It 'true that I have a great amount of time devoted to the discovery of what was happeningwrong. Ask
a couple of questions:

* What are the technical problems can arise?

* What the public can ask questions?

* What is a parvenu say?

* We are all electrical cords to trip?

* What health problems can a person in the audience during the performance?

I discovered this potential danger, not because I am a pessimist, but because
emergencies look, the less likely that the sprite surpriseme.

Protect

Once you have identified a potential problem, you must protect yourself against it
producing a solution. You must also protect themselves in the preparation of a solution
solution. You must ask, "What is the back-up plan?" Then ask
yourself, "What is back-up plan, back-up plan?" Finally, ask yourself: "What is
Back-up plan for the backup plan backups? "

For example, consider the problems of technology and demandyourself, "What happens if the laptop
"crash?" Then decide to head back up slides only make in this case. Next ask
yourself, "What happens if the overhead projector bulb blew?" Then solve
extra bulb with you. Finally, ask yourself: "What happens if the light does not work?"
So learning to offer, without the slides for every eventuality.

Here's an example from my own experience. My training with Beatrice
presentation, I showdifferent uses of music in learning environments.
Without music there can be no representation. I was protecting my clients (and
myself) through the integration of music in PowerPoint presentation. I was traveling with
music on a CD-ROM backup and a backup klanklasetformaat. As extra
Providence, I have the music recorded on a VHS tape, so that even if all the municipalities
audio channels are not available to me, can I play music on a TV. On the remote
Chances are that allThe ship was demagnetized, I also make several
Music CDs emergency.

Accept

The training taught Improv comedians are welcome to the unexpected, for the treatment of nano
surprises like gifts. These gifts lead to new discoveries. I never had the time, never as
A magician makes a connection rings (eight rings to connect and disconnect at will), a microphone

stand! Moresurprising was the reaction from the public. Sing! Bit
only a part of my action.

It is an axiom among researchers that the sorcerer has a greater impact, because
the public never knows what can happen. The risk is that when something
unexpected happens, the public, as they did with my link to the microphone,
its origin, as expected. This fact gives the artist a decision
advantage. If you accept everything that happens as a giftThe public will probably never
sprite family beaten.

React

Suppose that is not the same respect. Even if something unexpected happens,
You should still take control. Reacts with an aura of confidence to know you
preparations. Ironically, the amount of preparation work for the rebound
your advantage. Your customer will be the amount of preparation under the impression that
went to deliver them. In this distorted sense that it must continuesprite.
The response to their evil just make you look more professional.

Enjoy

What you have planned, tested, explore, protect, accepted and responded. Final
step is simply to enjoy everything that has happened. Control dynamics, to relax and
Putting the focus where it belongs, your audience. This focus will guide the sprite
crazy.

A Show Biz Tradition

Yes, I remember to prepare. And if a desire for happiness (in the case of the sprite is
listen), break a leg!
