I get extremely irritated when somebody gives a presentation or presents a video they clearly didn't rehearse.

I get extremely irritated when somebody gives a presentation or presents a video they clearly didn't rehearse. If you can't be bothered to rehearse something, why should everyone in the audience be bothered to watch it? The watchers probably outnumber you 10 or 100x.

@adam_chal Some presentation advice I heard once was along those lines. Essentially, it was that you should put at least (audience size) * (length of your talk) time into preparation.
I'll admit, I struggle to follow this rule as well as I'd like.

@theincredibleholk Yeah! Another way to phrase it is that, the more total person-hours your talk will consume, the higher the bar.
-
@adam_chal Anyway, I feel very seen in this comment as I'm frantically trying to get an upcoming talk into a form I'm happy with.
-
@theincredibleholk Good luck! I always learn a lot from your posts here, so I have confidence in your talk

@adam_chal Thanks! I wish I had another two weeks to prepare, but if I did, I'd be saying the same thing two weeks from now
