Avoid jokes unless you are natural expert.

31. Your Voice
You have to consider three things:
Volume
Clarity
Tone

32. Your Voice
Don’t shout and Don’t whisper but speak
clearly and consider the surroundings
Don’t rush and Don’t talk slowly but be
natural
use variation in your speed, tune and
volume

towards the back of the audience.

36. You
Appearance.
Smile.
Eye contact. (WHY?)
Body language.
- Hand waving.
- The way you stand.
- The way you move.
Never give your back to the audience.

37. Visual Aids
Keep it simple.
- The 6 x 7 rule
– No more than 6 lines per slide
– No more than 7 words per line
Slides should contain the minimum
information.
Visuals to support, not to distract.

38. Visual Aids
Use reasonable size font.
- Don't use too "Many Fonts and Styles“
- Capitalisation: "ALL CAPITAL LETTERS ARE DIFFICULT
TO READ"
Use colors but avoid orange & yellow back
grounds.
- Don't use too many colors
Consider room lighting.

39. They
Spend more time listening than talking (but
of course, as a presenter, you will be doing
most of the talking).
Do not answer questions with questions.
Plan responses after others have finished
speaking...NOT while they are speaking.

40. They
Keep cool if a questioner disagrees with
you. You are a professional! No matter
how hard you try, not everyone in the
world will agree with you!
When a question is asked, repeat the
question to ensure that everyone heard it
(and that you heard it correctly).
