Consider the size of the room. ◦ If the room is large, speak at a louder volume and

project your voice so people at the back of the room can hear you.

Size of the audience◦ If you are speaking to a

large number of people (eg. the entire class), project your voice

Monitoring the pace you speak at is also essential to giving a successful presentation.◦ If you speak too quickly, the audience may not be

able to understand what you are saying. ◦ If you speak too slowly, the audience may lose

interest and stop paying attention.

Pause after important points so that the audience can take in the information.

Posture refers to the way we stand, where we place our arms and legs, and how we carry ourselves.

The next slide shows some tips on maintaining appropriate posture during presentations:

Do … Do NOT …

Stand up straight.This shows that you are confident and prepared.It helps you to project your voice better.

Slouch.This shows the audience that you lack confidence and respect.

Relax your neck and shoulders.It helps you breathe better and maintain a good volume.

Put your hands in your pockets.

This shows you are nervous or unsure.

Use appropriate hand gestures.This helps you to emphasise an idea or point.

Use too many hand gestures.

This distracts the audience.

Move at appropriate points. Move too much.Pacing and rocking back and forth are signs of nervousness

Eye contact is made when we look at people and hold their gaze.

Making eye contact with the audience shows:

1) Confidence

Making eye contact shows you are prepared and at ease. Looking away or at your feet indicates that you are nervous or not ready for the presentation.

2) Knowledge

It also shows that you have full knowledge of your presentation’s content.

3) Attitude Looking at the audience shows that you care if they are listening. Looking elsewhere indicates to the audience that you are unenthusiastic about the presentation.

Presentation aids include handouts, slideshows and videos.

Purpose of using presentation aids:◦ Makes the presentation more effective and

interesting◦ Makes the presentation easier to follow for the

audience.

Page 10: 1 delivering presentations

Here are some tips about presentation aids:

◦ Do NOT use distracting colours or fonts in your slideshows. The main focus should be on what you are saying.

◦ Do NOT use colours or font size that are not visible from the back of the classroom.

◦ Do NOT read directly from the handout or slides. You should make eye contact with your audience!

Ensure that you:

◦ Do NOT put chunks of text in your slides.

◦ Put the MAIN POINTS on the slides, then elaborate on your main points verbally.

◦ Have prepared what you are going to say on cue cards or on paper.

along the way to engage your audience. Ask questions or get your audience to

participate! You can also dress up!
