Part 3/8:
DEA's journey began with a common approach among YouTubers: reliance on a teleprompter. For her first hundred-plus videos, she meticulously scripted everything. However, this method left her feeling disconnected from her audience, resembling a newscaster simply reciting lines. The craving for authentic connection with viewers led her to revolutionize her presentation style.
Switching gears, DEA adopted a hybrid model. Instead of reading from a script, she began using PowerPoint slides to outline her discussions. This technique allowed her to have key points in front of her while enabling a more conversational tone. The slides served as visual aids, bolstering clarity and boosting her confidence, which allowed her to feel relaxed and spontaneous as she spoke.
