Wear<b> a lot more</b> make-up too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-on-youtube#post-1118458 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 01:01:43 +0000 Diana 1118458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In general, I wear something in a flattering color with a blazer over it when I give talks. &nbsp;For some reason most of the talks I've given have been in the summer so I often just wear a dress or skirt/top&nbsp;with a black&nbsp;blazer. &nbsp;In the winter, trousers would obviously be a good option too.&nbsp; If you're standing behind a podium, it kind of doesn't matter what you wear on the bottom so I would focus on the top. &nbsp;In my field (which is similar to Greyscale's) the jacket automatically makes me dressier than 90% of the people in the room but I'm fine with that. &nbsp;I do prefer the jacket lapel for the mic (rather than clipping it to my shirt) because there is no danger of the mic weighing things down and causing wardrobe malfunctions. &nbsp;Also remember that sometimes there is a battery pack or similar for the mic that you may have to either hold or clip somewhere. &nbsp;If that's the case trousers or more structured skirt&nbsp;may be a better bet than a dress. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-on-youtube#post-1118447 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 00:50:46 +0000 deb 1118447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-on-youtube#post-1118445 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 00:49:01 +0000 Makrame 1118445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rachylou said - I was told to wear bright, solid colors for a photo shoot (apparently pattern does not look good on camera). &nbsp;Congratulations on the invitation to speak!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-on-youtube#post-1118433 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 00:17:04 +0000 Greyscale 1118433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will you be speaking into a podium microphone or using a clip-on mic? Women's clothing doesn't always have a good place to clip the mic. I usually wear a button-down shirt so there's somewhere to clip it a reasonable distance from my mouth. My talks are usually in&nbsp;settings where a jacket would be&nbsp;overkill (my field is very casual), but a jacket lapel would certainly work well for a mic, also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-on-youtube#post-1118431 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 00:10:57 +0000 rachylou 1118431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Solid colour. A bright suit would be nice, but if the crowd is too conservative - then a normal suit and bright scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-on-youtube#post-1118359 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 21:49:00 +0000 L'Abeille 1118359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations:</p> <p>If you watch/have a TV, I suggest you check out what the female newsreaders are wearing. When you find someone whose style or persona echoes your own, keep track of her different looks and see what you can replicate from your own closet.</p> <p>In general, conservative wear--jacket or coatdress style--with something providing interest at the top/near the face, such as colour, drape, or an interesting collar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-on-youtube#post-1118327 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 21:00:45 +0000 Kristin SF 1118327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting!!</p> <p>Check this out:<br /><a href="http://www.mediatrainingworldwide.com/Online_Book/mediatrainingch5.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.mediatrainingworldw.....ingch5.pdf</a></p> <p>Also <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=guidelines+for+dressing+for+TV+cameras&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a" rel="nofollow">this google search</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-on-youtube#post-1118299 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 20:43:38 +0000 MsMaven 1118299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few days ago I received an acceptance on a paper I proposed for a symposium that will be held in a few months.</p> <p>Then I found out the presentation will be recorded and served up on YouTube!</p> <p>Furthermore, at last year's symposium there was not one woman on the program.</p> <p>So, anyone who can help: &nbsp;What does one wear to stand in front of a podium, in bad lighting, to look good later on a monitor? &nbsp;Also, it's a rather conservative group for a bunch of academics. &nbsp;Mainly academics. &nbsp;I'm not am academic, but I am writing a biography. </p>
