When you're in front of your audience you're on your own. You have to judge the success of your presentation on the basis of audience reaction. No one else is going to give you an honest opinion. And no one is going to tell you how or where to make necessary improvements.

The fact is, friends and colleagues are more concerned about hurting your feelings than about helping you improve. And if they do offer homespun advice, can you trust it?

If only you had a panel of experts to advise and coach you …

And that's exactly how the GuruMaker fast-track video critique works. We'll study your performance on videotape, then provide you with a hard-hitting and professional appraisal in writing and on audiotape or CD. Better still, we guarantee to provide you with the techniques and the strategies to improve your performance within ten business days of receiving your tape.

This is the kind of in-depth critique, top-level executives, speakers, and presenters dream of. For just $495 you can use our collective skills and experience to polish your performance until it shines.

This is the sort of advice we can give you:

• what works and what doesn't
• how to modulate your voice for clarity and strength
• how to use gesture and body language to support your story
• how to add conviction and build credibility
• whether your jokes are funny or tired
• how to structure your presentation for maximum impact
• how to present your best image
• how you come across to an audience
• how to appear charming
• whether you get your points across clearly and succinctly
• how to connect emotionally with your audience
• whether you use language that is easily understood and makes sense
• how to project infectious passion when you speak
• how to incorporate your unique personality into your talk

A single videotape is all it takes

It's easy to put your performance under the GuruMaker spotlight. All you have to do is record it digitally or on videotape (maximum 20 minutes) and send it to us with your check or money-order for $495 payable to GuruMaker Inc.

It doesn't matter what type of presentation you are working on – conference speech, sales presentation, media appearance, wedding speech, corporate video, political candidacy, stockholder address – we will use the same forensic techniques to build on your strengths and correct your weaknesses.

It will help us to analyze your performance if you can also provide details of the context in which you will be speaking. For instance, if you're one of many delegates to a conference, where do you fit within the schedule? What kinds of people make up the audience? And what do you hope to achieve with your performance? The more background information you provide, the easier it is for us to point you in the direction of success.
