Characteristics of Good Public Speakers
VERBAL SCORE:
1. Confident Voice
2. Look at 10-15 individuals in the audience
3. Don’t read off their notes/PowerPoint
4. Lots of practice before their speech
Confident Voice• Be confident of yourself
• You are the expert!
• Everyone in the room is on your team
• Some may want to script what they are going to say in order to help them practice
Eye Contact• People feel more connected to the
speaker when that speaker is making eye contact with them.
• Engage your entire audience
Don’t Read the Slide!
• We can all read, so don’t read off the slide.
• Talk about bullet points and pictures on your PowerPoint.
• The best presenters are those that can expand on what is already in the PowerPoint.
Practice• No one does great at anything on the first
try.
• You need to practice what you are going to say so that you are prepared the day of the presentation.
Am I getting graded?• You will be assessed in 4 categories:
– Powerpoint– Presentation– Timing (2-5 min – the closer to 5, the better)– Entertainment
• Worried about making a good powerpoint?
• Let’s talk.
Overall: 0 - 4
Making A Fun PowerPoint• Use as FEW of words as possible• A picture says a thousand words
– You can put notes below the PowerPoint and you can reference these during the presentation.
• Presenter Tools
Everyone Loves the Movies• Inserting SHORT movie clips into a presentation makes it
more fun.• The movie MUST be connected to your presentation.• You can drop YouTube clips into a PowerPoint by going
to keepvid.com• You can then drag the video clip into the PowerPoint
Ditch that Boring Background• No one likes to see just a white background• There are good templates on PowerPoint and
there are websites that you can download for free from.
• www.fppt.com• Or use lotsof pictures to helpget your messageacross!
Structure of Your Power Point• Start with something
to hook your audience.– Sell me on the
relevance (the connection to your topic)! This is your chance to make it exciting!
Structure of Your PowerPoint• Engage your
audience.– This should be like a
conversation. No one likes to just be talked at.
Structure of Your PowerPoint
• Make sure the flow of your PowerPoint makes logical sense.
Citations• You must cite all of your sources at the end of
your PowerPoint• You may use MLA or APA format• Failing to cite sources will lead to a deduction
of point.• http://www.easybib.com/
