Projecting A Professional Auctioneer Image

Have you ever seen yourself on TV or videotape? Have you listened to your voice on a tape recorder. Have you examined photographs of yourself? Do you project the type of image you would like others to see? These self images are very important because they give you an idea of how you may be coming across to other people, either positively or negatively.
