2. The presentation is more effective when you
know, how you look and speak as on what you say.
Every presenter is unique, and when you develop
your skills, you will formulate a unique style that is
effective and comfortable for you.
There are some standard formula and practice how
a presentation should contain the following
standards:
•Appearance
•Posture and movements
•Eye contacts
•Delivery
•Facial expression and gesture
3. Appearance:
Your appearance is very important for the
audience.
Dress neatly, comb your hair,
The way you dress can be a visual aid and
support your theme.
If you are cooking or using equipment, you may
need to have your hair tied back. Hands and
fingernails should be clean.
For maximum effect, match your dress with your
visuals in color and design.
4. Posture and Movement:
Body language is extremely important.
Your posture tells a lot about how comfortable and
confident you feel giving your presentation
Stand in a comfortable position. You should be erect, but
not stiff, with your shoulders square.
Keep your weight evenly distributed on both feet, and try
not to lock your knees.
be sure you are facing the audience when you are talking so
they can hear you
Switching from one side of the speaking area to the other
can be a good way to show transitions.
5. Eye contact:
Eye contact is critical.
Each person should feel like you are talking
specifically to them.
The introduction and conclusion are the most
important times to maintain eye contact.
You should let your eyes travel from person to person
and make contact with everyone in the audience
If you are nervous, look for friendly faces and
concentrate more on them.
When you become more comfortable speaking in
front of an audience, you can look for people’s
reactions to what you are saying.
6. Delivery:
The delivery of your presentation should sound natural,
not memorized or like writing. Show Enthusiasm
Your delivery style should suit you. Be yourself. Don’t
imitate others.
A distinct style that is all your own will make your
presentation memorable
You need to speak loudly enough for everyone in the
audience to hear you, even those clear in the back of the
room
A change in the pitch, volume, or speed and the use of
inflections will help in maintaining interest
7. Facial Expression and Gesture:
Expressions show feelings, determination, and
confidence
Smiling puts the audience at ease and makes you
look like you are enjoying what you are doing.
Gestures are movements of the body or limbs to
emphasize an idea
Common gestures include pointing, shrugging your
shoulders, or shaking your fist
Gestures can be very powerful.
Gestures should appear to be spontaneous and look
natural
