MAKING A PRESENTATION

Some important tips on how to make a presentation are stated below:

  4. Speak clearly and confidently. You need to speak smartly, fluently, and clearly in English so that you are audible to everyone in the audience. Don’t speak too fast or too slow. Do not raise your tone but speak in a soft tone.
  5. Pause for sometime before emphasizing on an important point. This gives a hint to the audience that some important points will be discussed now.

Don’t just give importance to the audience sitting on the front seats. Try to involve everyone in the audience and make it interesting.
