English for Presentation
first, know the audience. Who are they and why are they there? If I am clear about their
motivations, I can make the presentation exceed their expectations. Then think about the content and message of my speech
Second, prepare the material. Choose the right material to improve my speaking skills so that I can make a good presentation.
Next, practice privately. After preparing the material, it is time to practice the presentation. Even though I know the material well, practice is important for two reasons. First, I'll identify the areas of the presentation I'm tripping over so I can adjust the content accordingly. And secondly, discussing it will highlight missing and irrelevant items. These necessary edits are visible only when I practice, not when I just prepare your content. I can practice in front of a mirror or just give a presentation out loud. Make sure I stand and face my virtual audience to make it as realistic as possible.
And finally, practice on the spot. It's almost time to shine. Perform technical checks before the event if I am using technology such as a projector or advance slide. If I do a presentation on stage, feel comfortable with the environment. I want to know how it feels to see the audience from the stage.
Even if I don't speak on stage, the more comfortable I am with the environment, the more confident I will radiate. So this is my final step before doing my speech.
