Most people have a certain level of anxiety or fear when facing a camera. Many of Barbara’s clients have never done it before, but every one of them creates stunning videos in their very first session. Barbara will ensure you come across like a Pro too. If you’re already good, get ready to become extraordinary!

Personal guidance, star quality lighting, and professional hair & makeup make all the difference.

Why?

Bad video is worse than no video at all. Poor production values or performance skills will actually decrease your perceived value, meaning what you can charge for your services. No matter how excellent you are at your expertise, you’ll be judged by how you come across in a video or presentation.

But professional, polished videos and marketing materials brand you as top-notch, someone who commands top dollar.

Barbara Niven will personally direct you on-camera and guide you through every step of the process. You’ll be thrilled with your soaring confidence and professional image – in videos that get results!

 
AND… IT’S WAY MORE THAN JUST VIDEOS.

BARBARA WILL PERSONALLY GUIDE YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!

Stop the guesswork and quickly learn techniques to become confident and authentic as you talk to the camera. This also translates directly into Public Speaking and interview skills. You’ll not only learn what to say, but exactly how to say it too. It’s easy when you learn the secrets!

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
