# Remote speaker technical rehearsal and cue card

Rehearse with the actual platform, role, location and production route where possible. This record is an observed test, not a guarantee that the connection cannot fail.

| Finish and leave live programme | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Audio lost | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |

Send the final cue card to the speaker, moderator and production team. Rehearse changes to platform, location, slides or operator rather than treating the earlier check as still valid.
