4 out of the 8 ways to give a good presentation

How to give a Good Presentation

Energy- Most of us prefer to watch a presentaion where the speaker is clearly making an effort to connect with the audience. Energy comes out a vocal variety, gestures, and facial expressions helping you show passion and gain positive listener response. Energy is also a great mask effectively covering up nervousness and other distractions.

Eye Contact- maintain eye contact with indivudual audience members long enough to complete you thought (3-5 seconds), rather than shiting your gaze from side to side.

Hand Gestures- use natural movements of your arms, hands and body to emphasize your mainpoints. Aviod actions such as crossing arms or putting your hands on your hips.

Facial Expressions- Use smiles, frowns, and other varied expressions to keep your audience engaged. Take tips from stage actors: the bigger the audience the bigger your expressions.
