After reading 10 Steps to a Perfect Presentation I found that quashing my nerves, making a great first impression and end with a bang are areas that I need to work on. Speaking in public seems to be people's worst nightmare. I know very few people who are not nervous about this. I have read that actors and actress suffer from stage freight, interviews and public speaking.
The Power of Body Language had some good ideas for me as I never know what to do with my hands other than talk with them, I can't talk without my hands. Be natural, sincere, relax, enthusiastic and have fun! Ok!!
Failsafe Tips When You Forget or Get Flustered, I really needed to read this article! Use mnemonics, Fiddle with fodder, code your visuals to cue you, adn use a key anecdote as a springboard. These tips were very helpful.
When Presenting to Young Audiences make your talk come alive, speak from your heart, use audience participation, be genuine, keep it simple and don't become one of them.
The tips I learned from the article How to Begin a Presentation were numerous. Engage your audience and get to the point directly, use visuals to take attention away from you the speaker, Create interest with your information, Be passionate about your topic. Be quick, be clear and be gone!!!
