The Perfect Presentation
Transcript: {The Perfect Presentation} Tip one – stay calm Chances are you’re presenting to people who are literate, past elementary school, and can speak. These are all attributes of people who have probably had to present something at some point in their lives. They know how you feel, getting up there. They will understand if you stutter or say “um”, it happens. If you’re presenting in a class, odd are that nobody is even focused on your presentation because they’re too busy freaking out themselves. They’re just as nervous as you about messing up or being awkward. Tip four – be organized Make sure your presentation is neat and organized. If you don’t have your information together, trying to talk about your topic will be difficult. It has to be neat enough that if you miss something, the audience can simply see it on your poster or presentation themselves. Tip five – focus Try your best not to go off topic. When you’re trying to get a point across, stay on that and provide solid reasons for your opinion toward the subject. Whatever you’re talking about try not to get distracted and lose your train of thought, because you will get stuck. The End Whatever your project is on, you are destined to fail if you don’t understand what you’re talking about. Knowing the information and being educated on your subject will allow you to keep your points short and to the point, and your presentation will go by smoother than if you were stuttering and reading along with the poster. Tip three – be prepared Tip Two – try to appear confident Even if you can’t follow the first tip, and literally want to cry on your way up to the front of the class, try your best to give the illusion of confidence. Smile, stand up straight, enunciate. People will be more attentive, and your nerves might even subside because your false confidence has turned into real, even if its slight, confidence. Jackie Maga
