I was asked to give feedback on what it's like to give an ignite talk (for Scott Berkun's new book) and I thought why not share in a blog post.
有人问我要进行一次引人入胜的演讲(对于Scott Berkun的新书 )有什么反馈，我想为什么不在博客文章中分享。
I gave an ignite talk at this year's Velocity conference and it was a wonderful experience. I don't think the video was ever released so I'm thinking of doing the talk at home in a screencast, so stay tuned. Meanwhile - the slides and the script.
我在今年的Velocity会议上发表了引人入胜的演讲，那真是很棒的经历。 我认为该视频从未发行过，所以我正在考虑通过屏幕录像在家中进行演讲，请继续关注。 同时- 幻灯片和脚本 。
If you're not familiar with the format - it's a 5 minute talk and you have 20 slides that change automatically after 15 seconds. So you don't have time to think or you'll miss three slides.
如果您不熟悉该格式-通话时间为5分钟，并且有20张幻灯片会在15秒后自动更改。 因此，您没有时间去思考，否则您将错过三张幻灯片。
To give you an idea of how cool the event is, speaking to someone from the crowd about last year's experience at the same ignite event they said: "it was fun. I don't remember anything, but I remember it was fun"
为了让您了解这次活动有多酷，请与人群中的某人谈谈去年在同一次点燃事件中的经历，他们说：“这很有趣。我什么都不记得了，但我记得那很有趣”
The good thing about the speaker at Ignite is that the format makes you:
Ignite演讲者的好处是，格式使您：
- practice 实践
- edit 编辑
These are two things you never get around when doing a "normal" 1 hour tech talk. The "normal" way of giving tech talks in my experience is: work on the slides till 3am the night before. Give as much content as possible. And the result is:
在进行“正常”的1小时技术讲座时，这是您永远无法避免的两件事。 根据我的经验，进行技术演讲的“正常”方法是：在幻灯片上工作到前一天晚上3点。 提供尽可能多的内容。 结果是：
- you're nervous (you don't know what's on the next slide), 您很紧张(您不知道下一张幻灯片的内容)，
- you talk fast (lots of content), 你说话很快(很多内容)，
- you talk to the slides (because you don't remember what you put there), 您与幻灯片交谈(因为您不记得放在那里的内容)，
- audience dozes off. 观众打do睡。
It's amazing how much difference it makes when you prepare. Someone said that not practicing means practicing failure and I find it very true.
当您准备时，它会产生多大的变化，这令人惊讶。 有人说不练习就意味着练习失败，我发现这是真的。
I'm thinking this: preparing a talk takes time, even if you don't practice. Since you're spending all this time preparing anyway, it makes sense to spend a little more and be a rock star, instead of a failure. The difference is small but significant. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Otherwise just not do it, it's best for you and the audience, and the talk host.
我在想：准备演讲需要时间，即使您不练习也是如此。 由于您将所有时间都花在准备上，因此多花点时间成为一名摇滚明星是很有意义的，而不是失败。 差异虽小，但意义重大。 任何值得做的事都值得做好。 否则，请不要这样做，这对您和听众以及演讲主持人都是最好的。
I usually don't practice, but I practiced for my ignite talk. Not only that but I scripted the talk, since it's so short. I even used Mac's say utility to read my script and I took note of the length of the audio file result. Also made it say the Gettysburg address which is considered a by-the-book example of short and excellent speech. So after measuring the time I started editing, cutting, cutting, cutting, because 15 seconds is about 2 sentences and I had originally planned to say much more. Then I practiced again and edited again. Ad infinitum.
我通常不练习，但是我为引火演讲练习。 不仅如此，我还编写了演讲的脚本，因为它太短了。 我什至使用Mac的say实用工具读取脚本，并记下了音频文件结果的长度。 say了葛底斯堡演说 ，这被认为是简短而出色的演讲的典范。 因此，在测量了时间之后，我开始进行编辑，剪切，剪切，剪切，因为15秒大约是2句话，而我原本打算多说些。 然后我再次练习并再次编辑。 广告无限。
And the results of all the practice were pretty good. People who have seen me speak (and even shared the stage with me) were pleasantly surprised and couldn't believe it's me up there shining on that stage ????
所有练习的结果都很好。 看到我说话的人 (甚至与我分享舞台的人 )都感到惊喜，不敢相信那是我在那里闪耀的光芒????
Since that Ignite talk I decided I should always practice. It's worth it. Do it right or don't do it all! But then time came to do another tech talk, and I ended up with 90+ slides for one hour, working on the slides till 3 a.m... and it was the usual disaster. We, the humans, are weird, never seem to learn from our mistakes ????
从那次点燃谈话开始，我决定我应该始终练习。 这很值得。 做对或不做全部！ 但是后来又有时间进行另一场技术演讲了，我最终制作了90多张幻灯片，持续了一个小时，然后将幻灯片工作到凌晨3点..这是通常的灾难。 我们人类很奇怪，似乎从未从我们的错误中学到东西????
