Pay attentio to volumen, speed, pauses, stress, and intonation. Record yourself before the presentation so youcan make corrections.
Use bullet points, key words, and images. Make your slides as specific as possible. Don't clutter them with too much information.
Record your speech when you practice. Oversee this recording and check your irritating mannerisms. Try to avoid them in your practice sessions.
Look at people's eyes but don't stare. Keep your eye contact for about 4 to 5 seconds and move to the next person.
Know your audience; structure your presentation with an introduction, a body, and a conclusion; practice before friends, family, or colleagues.
Research about the psychographic, demographic, and behavioral characteristics of the audience.
Set time for each part of your presentation. Arrive early so you can have ready everything you need for your presentation.
