To prepare an oral presentation and visual aids you have to:
· Know the needs of your audience.
· Know your material thoroughly.
· Put what you have to say in a logical sequence.
· Ensure your speech will be interesting to your audience.
· Practice and rehearse your speech.
· When you are presenting in front of an audience, you are performing as
an actor is on stage.
· Appear relaxed, confident but not arrogant.
· Speak slowly and clearly.
· Use visual aids to enhance your presentation.
· Visual aids can be charts, graphs, tables, maps and pictures.
· They may be in print form, transparency or computer presentation.
· Be sure all necessary equipment is set up and in good working order
prior to the presentation.
· Have handouts ready and give out at the appropriate time.
· Tell audience ahead of time that you will be giving out an outline of your
presentation so that they will not waste time taking unnecessary notes
during your presentation.
