Online presentations are a different discipline from in-person speaking. The camera removes body language cues, the audio carries more of your communication, energy leaks out of the screen, and the audience is one click away from a distraction. Practising specifically for online delivery produces significantly better results than practising in person and then going online.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Camera eye contact practice
Looking at the camera rather than at your own face or the gallery view is the most important online presentation skill. Practise speaking to a fixed point directly at camera level. This creates the experience of eye contact for the audience.
Audio-first delivery
In online presentations, your voice carries more of the communication load than in person. Practise projecting clearly, varying your tone, and pausing for emphasis. Flat, quiet audio is the fastest way to lose an online audience.
Energy amplification
Energy is reduced through screens. You need to bring 30 percent more energy than you would in person for the same level of engagement to reach the audience. Practise your online delivery with higher energy than feels natural.
TLDR:Practise your online presentation voice with Lucy. The skills that matter most in virtual delivery, your vocal variety, pace, energy, and clarity, are exactly the skills that real voice conversation with Lucy develops. Build them in practice so they are available in delivery.

Technical problems in online presentations amplify anxiety. Practise your setup, know your mute button, know how to share your screen, test your audio quality. Removing technical uncertainty removes a major source of presentation anxiety.
