Virtual Speaker Presentation Day - Melinda Hird Photography and Video

Exclusive Virtual
Speaker Day

Update your Speaker Showreel for the Virtual World

The World is gently opening back up and gearing for live in-person events again …. but virtual presenting will still have it’s place

So Increase Your Chances of Getting More Paid Bookings in 2022 not just nationally but globally!

This is ideal for speakers who haven’t got great virtual video assets that position or sell you well.

Capture footage that demonstrates your speaking skills on screen and on stage
with a Hybrid Showreel.

This is why Melinda Hird is offering an exclusive recording day to capture your virtual keynote or presentation at Dale Beaumont’s stand-out recording studio.

Partnering with Business Blueprint and Leanne Christie from Ovations.

Melinda will combine this recorded footage with your most recent on stage footage
to create a hybrid showreel and position you for more bookings in 2021.

One thing you can count on is that
the competition will be more intense than ever.

If the pandemic has taught us anything it’s to adapt fast and be prepared for the unexpected.

Hundreds if not thousands of speakers are out there now all vying for the same thing…
to get paid and to get more bookings for next year.

So, how do you stand out in a sea of noise out there?

Presenting virtually has been a complete game-changer and event organisers
are looking for somebody who can deliver.

As a speaker, your job is to engage, motivate, entertain or inform your audience.
But how can event organisers know you, if they haven’t seen or heard you before, especially virtually?

Having worked closely with event organisers and speaker bureaus, I know that
no one will book you until you can demonstrate what it is that you can do.
So make it easy for them and for you.

The best part is that you can control your brand and provide the exact message you want to share. It highlights the value you bring with how well you engage and entertain your audience, how you help solve problems and position yourself as the expert in your field.

Even better, a showreel is multi-purpose! Not only can it be sent to bureaus or conference organisers, but it can be hosted on your website and promoted across your platforms.

Brands and people I love working with

Mels energy, professionalism, and passion has been absolutely exceptional and I knew from the moment I meet her I wanted to work with her. If you really want to establish yourself.... and show people the lane you are owning then do a professional showreel with Mel, it's truly an amazing experience.

HEAR WHAT OTHER CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Kind words from my clients:

I have used Melinda on many occasions for portraits of my team and me. Her photos are exceptional and the process is always easy and enjoyable. I also use Mel for video work often. She is fast and professional. In the last couple of years I have recommended Mel to hundreds of speaker’s because her work is that good. She understands our business and what the client is looking for. Her gentle guidance and positive encouragement makes all the difference to the final product. I highly recommend Mel for anyone looking for a professional shoot.

Leanne Christie - Ode Management, Ovations, Standing Ovations
Melinda Hird is the best in the business when it comes to video and branding portraits. There are a number of operators in the speaker world but I really think Melinda loves her clients genuinely and produces outstanding work. I love my branding shots and my showreel creates business for me every day.

Lucy Bloom
I engaged Mel recently to do my personal branding photography and showreel video and cannot recommend her highly enough! I'm so pleased with the photos and video, but the reason I recommend her goes beyond the final product. It's the service. Mel totally invests herself in getting to know you, your story and what you want the photos/video to portray, provides great guidance and then she 100% delivers!

Lucy needed a refreshed speaker showreel so we combined existing footage with face-to-camera as well as introductions, testimonials, text supers and more. The showreel resulted in numerous overseas bookings.
