# Speaker Reel & Demo Videos

Create compelling speaker reels that showcase speaking expertise, stage presence, and audience engagement to secure speaking opportunities, podcast appearances, and event bookings.

## Core Objectives

- Demonstrate speaking ability and stage presence
- Showcase expertise and thought leadership
- Build credibility and authority in the industry
- Secure speaking opportunities and bookings
- Create a "must-book" impression for event organizers

## Mandatory Elements

### 1. Content Selection
- **Best Moments:** Highest-energy, most engaging segments
- **Variety:** Different topics, audiences, and formats
- **Length:** 60-90 seconds optimal (max 2 minutes)
- **Quality:** High-production value, clear audio, good lighting

### 2. Reel Structure
- **Hook (0-10s):** Attention-grabbing opening statement
- **Body (10-60s):** Multiple speaking highlights showing range
- **Close (60-90s):** Strong closing statement + call to action
- **Branding:** Name, title, contact info overlay

### 3. Technical Quality
- **Video:** High resolution (1080p minimum), stable footage
- **Audio:** Clear, professional sound (no background noise)
- **Editing:** Smooth transitions, dynamic pacing, music (optional)
- **Graphics:** Professional lower thirds, contact information

## Structure & Frameworks

### The "Show, Don't Tell" Framework
1. **Demonstrate Expertise:** Show actual speaking, not just talk about it
2. **Show Range:** Different topics, audiences, formats
3. **Show Impact:** Audience reactions, engagement, applause
4. **Make It Easy:** Clear contact info and booking CTA

### Reel Editing Structure
```text
"60-90 Second Speaker Reel:

0-10s: Hook - Most compelling statement or audience reaction
10-30s: Topic 1 - Expertise demonstration (key insight)
30-50s: Topic 2 - Different angle or audience type
50-70s: Audience Engagement - Show connection and impact
70-90s: Close - Strong statement + "Book me for your event" CTA

Include: Name, title, topics, contact info overlay"
```

## Voice & Tone Guidelines

- **Dynamic & Engaging:** Show energy and stage presence
- **Professional:** High production value and polish
- **Confident:** Demonstrate authority and expertise
- **Formatting:** Use timestamps for reel structure, highlight key moments

## Concrete Examples

### Reel Opening Hook
```text
"Option 1 (Audience Reaction):
Show audience laughing, nodding, or applauding with voiceover:
'When I speak, audiences don't just listen - they transform.'

Option 2 (Powerful Statement):
Direct to camera with compelling opening:
'Most businesses are leaving 73% of their revenue on the table. 
Here's why...'"
```

### Reel Closing CTA
```text
"End with:

'Ready to transform your audience? Let's talk about bringing 
[Your Name] to your next event.

[Name]
[Title]
[Email] | [Website]
[Speaking Topics: Topic 1, Topic 2, Topic 3]'"
```

## Quality Checklist

For every speaker reel, ask:
- [ ] Does it showcase actual speaking ability (not just talking heads)?
- [ ] Is there variety in topics, audiences, and formats?
- [ ] Is the production quality professional and polished?
- [ ] Is the length optimal (60-90 seconds)?
- [ ] Would an event organizer want to book this speaker?

Overview

This skill creates high-impact speaker reels and demo videos that showcase stage presence, expertise, and audience impact to help speakers secure bookings. It produces 60–90 second reels with a strong hook, varied highlights, and a clear closing call to action with contact info. The focus is on measurable outcomes: more invitations, podcast slots, and event bookings.

How this skill works

I identify the best moments from raw footage—highest-energy statements, audience reactions, and varied topic clips—then assemble them into a tight, story-driven reel. The edit follows a proven structure (hook, body, audience engagement, close), enforces technical standards (1080p+, clear audio), and adds on-brand graphics and a booking CTA. I deliver a checklist and export settings so the reel is ready for submission to event organizers and platforms.

When to use it

  • You want a 60–90 second speaker reel to send to event bookers or podcast producers.
  • You need a polished demo video for a speaking portfolio or website landing page.
  • You have multiple clips and want a curated "must-book" highlights reel.
  • You need to turn raw stage footage into a concise marketing asset quickly.
  • You want to refresh an outdated reel with higher production quality and clearer messaging.

Best practices

  • Prioritize highest-energy clips and clear audience engagement over filler footage.
  • Keep the reel 60–90 seconds; max 2 minutes only if every second adds value.
  • Open with a 0–10s hook: powerful line or audience reaction that demands attention.
  • Show range: include different topics, audience types, and formats to demonstrate versatility.
  • End with a concise closing statement plus visible name, title, and contact CTA.
  • Ensure technical quality: 1080p+, clean audio, steady framing, and professional lower thirds.

Example use cases

  • Create a 75-second reel from a conference keynote, breakout session, and panel clip to submit to conference organizers.
  • Transform raw Zoom and stage recordings into a concise speaking demo for a speaker website.
  • Produce a sizzle reel highlighting humor and audience interaction for comedy or motivational speakers.
  • Update an existing reel with new high-quality clips and modern graphics to rebrand your speaking business.
  • Build a targeted reel focusing on a specific topic (e.g., sales enablement) to pitch vertically-focused events.

FAQ

What footage do you need to make a strong reel?

Provide high-energy clips with clear audio, at least three distinct segments showing different topics or audiences, plus a headshot and contact details for overlays.

How long should the final reel be?

Aim for 60–90 seconds; this balances attention and depth. Use up to 2 minutes only if each segment clearly supports the booking case.
