Are You Zoom Reading?

I don’t know about you but I have a new book coming out from Finishing Line Press, Touch My Head Softly, and I have been doing several zoom readings.

If you are like me, and used to giving in-person readings, the zoom reading is different and has it’s advantages and disadvantages.

You have a larger potential audience, as people don’t have to travel to get to you and can “zoom-in” from all over the world.

However, I find it’s tricky to keep facial and eye contact with so many little screen faces. I did a webinar recently, and was unable to see my audience at all.

To try to overcome this, I try reading to a live person before and/or a live practice session on zoom with another person. Then I ask for feedback. You alsohave the advantage of screen sharing with zoom. With screen share you have the advantage of offering a visual to accompany your words, but again the down-side is that you cannot see your audience at all.
