The article focuses on the use of video and audio recordings for the purpose of developing an individual's presentation skills. Watching and listening to one's own presentations can be a painful and self-underestimating experience. However, not doing so can limit one's growth and as a result one's competency. Advantages to recording one's own presentations include a real-time perspective on self-presentation skills, immediate, indisputable feedback, minimal requirements for equipment and technology know-how, and the ability to watch or listen multiple times. After watching the video recordings 2-3 times, one should have a list detailing what one excelled at and what needs improvement. A common weakness in individuals is vocal skills.

It is important to keep one's goals simple and workable, so it is good to start with no more than three goals in the beginning.
