YO! Company - YO!How + Simon Woodroffe

"Know How" is everything in this world. Simon, along with the rest of the YO! team has learnt from both his successes and failures.

Whether it's public speaking, appearances on television and in the media, book and video publishing or training programmes for both large corporates and smaller entrepreneurial companies we call what we do and how we go about doing it YO! How.

Timings

Simon generally speaks for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on requirements

Microphone

Speaking Simon does not use a lectern - he requires a lapel mic or similar and in small rooms can work without amplification.
Singing Simon requires a good quality hand mic and sound system to sing lead vocals over a backing track (see Ending Song section below)

Introduction Video - Simon likes to run a 2.50 min introductory video (please play LOUD!) before speaking to set the scene. This video should be played immediately after Simon is introduced. He stays sitting down while the video plays. After the video ends, he will stand up and commence his speech - video supplied on DVD

Holding Slides / PowerPoint - Simon does not use notes or PowerPoint - if you have the facility for a holding slide, please use one of the prepared holding slides (supplied on DVD), or alternatively, you can make one yourself using one of the YO! logos (supplied on DVD) and below it have the following three lines, also centred:

Ending Song - Simon likes to conclude his speech by telling the story of how he wrote and recorded with the Blockheads. When he starts to speak about The Blockheads, the end of the speech is not far off. Generally, his last words before the song starts are along the lines "...and this is what we recorded." The song then plays, over which he performs lead vocals with a hand mic - backing track supplied on the same DVD as video - make sure you select the "backing track" version.

Lighting
Video - Likes to run video in dark room
Speaking - Prefers full lights on stage and the audience to be lit while speaking
Singing - "Rock Show" style lighting for the final song - ONLY IF AVAILABLE - don't stress about this - some venues can do this easily and others can't!

Simon is flexible with all these arrangements and happy to adapt to venues, etc - call Nicholas Tardent to discuss on the number below and the technical people in charge of your event can also call Nick with any questions:
