BEST tips for online speaking in IELTS
During the absenteeism of face-to-face dissemination, it is paramount that we become snuggly with virtual tools that help us effectively connect with and lead others – especially in times of incertitude.
Tips for Presenting Virtually
Find one’s way around the content to this new medium. Apart from just delivering information in the same way you would in person, scrutinize your content with a virtual audience in mind.
How they go in for engaging the people?
Often, they use Zoom, which has great tools like breakout rooms, polls, and a chat function, as well as helpful tutorials on how to use them.

Speak straight to the camera lens
Many of the experts says, “It’s bit difficult to attach with a camera that doesn’t give you feedback or smile at you, but internet connection is equally important approximately as it is in person. To establish a connection on your end, you can do two things: First, make eye contact with the lens, so participants will see you looking right at them. Second, put a picture of someone you like right above the lens. This is what voice actors do to help them sound more conversational when they record in the confines of a studio.”

Assume the camera is always on
We usually have heard ample horror stories of people on webinars forgetting their camera is on and doing things they would have never done in person. Initially, learn how to manually and easily turn on/off the camera and the microphone so that if the kids run into the room or you have to sneeze, you can do so circumspectly. Second, assume the camera and microphone are always on and be on your most non-manual behaviour.
Present your best self.
Number of trainers says, “Even though you’re not speaking in person, you still need to represent a dominant presence. If it’s audio-only, your vociferous energy and range will become even more important. If it’s visual as well, you will need to demonstrate your enthusiasm both vocally and with purposeful body movement (like intentional gestures) that overcome the deadening effect of an online connection. In short, don’t dial it in just because you’re not ‘live on stage.’”

Do a test round in advance
As practice is must one should focus on prior practice. One should definitely go with the former round of online speaking. You can have test run with your tutor or with your friends in order to get better test experience as well as to overcome hesitation regarding online speaking experience.
Dress as you would for an in-person presentation, adapting for the camera.
Whatever you would wear for an in-person presentation should be your default for presenting online, with a admonition: focus on solid colors. Prints look different on camera than in real life and can distract your audience; make attire part of your test run so your audience can focus on your message as opposed to your wardrobe.
In times of incertitude, how you communicate with others will have a powerful impact on your professional or personal success – especially when you have to present virtually.
Talk through disruptions. Whenever technology is involved, things will invariably go wrong. Someone’s internet connection isn’t working, or you can’t figure out how to share your screen, or perhaps you lose your notes. Take a minute to talk through disruptions when something doesn’t work, such as, “I’m going to pause for a minute and share my screen. Give me one moment while I do this. One more minute, everyone, thank you for your patience” and calmly, confidently find what you need. If you are cool and collected, your audience will be as well.
