Chris and Will: What if I Read My Speech?
Chris: Doc, I’ve noticed that some speakers just read straight from their notes, word for word. It feels...well, a bit lifeless.🔖
Dr. Will: Ah, Chris, sounds like a classic case of Fullscriptophilia! Reading entirely from your script can drain the life out of a speech and cut off the connection with the audience.🩺🔬
Chris: But isn’t it safer to have everything right in front of you? 🤔
Dr. Will: Technically true, but the problem is that you risk losing your audience’s engagement. When you’re glued to the page, you miss out on eye contact, natural expression, and responding to their reactions. It becomes more of a recital than a conversation.👍

Responding in real-time is what turns a presentation into an experience. Ignoring the audience alienates them, but engaging your audience integrates them.
