PRACTICE ROOM (GUITAR LESSONS)

Nyla used the studio to record more vocals. Tayla practiced bass, and I did some splicing and editing of her vocals from the previous day, later Nyla will need to record the song again in order to complete the wrest of the vocals.

CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)

I did more splicing and editing on the audio and determined which parts of the song were still viable and which were not and deleted the unviable parts from the files so that they could be rerecorded.

Great presentations have many ingredients from the structure of the visuals to the delivery. But what makes it all work from voice, eye contact, word choice, body language, the visuals used, etc. Let’s take a look at the act of successfully presenting or pitching an idea to reveal these ingredients.
