Presentation Tips:Preparation, Slides & Handouts, Delivery Preparation1. Start with the end in mindBefore you even open up PowerPoint, sit down and really think about the day of your presentation. What is the real purpose of your talk? Why is it that you were ask to speak? What does the audience expect? In your opinion, what are the most important parts of your topic for the audience to take away from your, say, 50-minute presentation? Remember, even if you've been asked to share information, rarely is the mere transfer of information a satisfactory objective from the point of view of the audience. After all, the audience could always just read your book (or article, handout, etc.) if information transfer were the only purpose of the meeting, seminar, or formal presentation.2. Know your audience as well as possibleBefore you begin to formulate the content of your presentation, you need to ask yourself many basic questions with an eye to becoming the best possible presenter for that particular audience. At the very least, you need to answer the basic "W questions."Who is the audience? What are their backgrounds? How much background informationabout your topic can you assume they bring to the presentation?What is the purpose of the event? Is it to inspire? Are they looking for concrete practicalinformation? Do they want more concepts and theory rather than advice?Why were you asked to speak? What are their expectations of you?Where is it? Find out everything you can about the location and logistics of the venue.When is it? Do you have enough time to prepare? What time of the day? If there are otherpresenters, what is the order (always volunteer to go first or last, by the way). What day of theweek? All of this matters.3. Content, content, contentNo matter how great your delivery, or how professional and beautiful your supporting visuals, if your presentation is not based on solid content, you can not succeed. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that great content alone will carry the day. It almost never does. Great content is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one. But your presentation preparation starts with solid content (appropriate for your audience) which you then build into a winning story that you'll use to connect with your audience.A word of caution: Though I am emphasizing how important content is, I also am begging you to spare your audience a "data dump." A data dump — all too common unfortunately — is when a presenter crams too much information into the talk without making the effort to make the information or data applicable to the members of the audience. A data dump also occurs when data and information do not seem to build on the information that came earlier in the presentation. Sometimes it almost seems that the presenter is either showing off, or more likely, is simply afraid that if he does not tell the "whole story" by giving reams of data, the audience will not understand his message.Do not fall into the trap of thinking that in order for your audience to understand anything, you must tell them everything. Which brings us to the idea of simplicity.4. Keep it simpleSimple does not mean stupid. Frankly, thinking that the notion of simplifying is stupid is just plain, well, "stupid." Simple can be hard for the presenter, but it will be appreciated by the audience. Simplicity takes more forethought and planning on your part because you have to think very hard about what to include and what can be left out. What is the essence of your message? This is the ultimate question you need to ask yourself during the preparation of your presentation. Here's a simple exercise:EXERCISE:If your audience could remember only three things about your presentation,what would you want it to be?(1)________________________________________________________________________(2)________________________________________________________________________(3)________________________________________________________________________5. Outlining your contentI suggest you start your planning in "analog mode." That is, rather than diving right into PowerPoint (or Keynote), the best presenters often scratch out their ideas and objectives with a pen and paper. Personally, I use a large whiteboard in my office to sketch out my ideas (when I was at Apple, I had one entire wall turned into a whiteboard!). The whiteboard works for me as I feel uninhibited and freer to be creative. I can also step back (literally) from what I have sketched out and imagine how it might flow logically when PowerPoint is added later. Also, as I write down key points and assemble an outline and structure, I can draw quick ideas for visuals such as charts or photos that will later appear in the PowerPoint. Though you may be using digital technology when you deliver your presentation, the act of speaking and connecting to an audience — to persuade, sell, or inform — is very much analog.Cliff Atkinson in his 2005 book, "Beyond Bullet Points," smartly states that starting to create your presentation in PowerPoint before you have your key points and logical flow first worked out (on paper or a white board in my case) is like a movie director hiring actors and starting to film before there is a script in hand.More on "planning analog"I usually use a legal pad and pen (or a whiteboard if there is enough space) to create a rough kind of storyboard.I find the analog approach stimulates my creativity a bit more as I said. No software to get in my way and I can easily see how the flow will go. I draw sample images that I can use to support a particular point, say, a pie chart here, a photo there, perhaps a line graph in this section and so on. You may be thinking that this is a waste of time: why not just go into PowerPoint and create your images there so you do not have to do it twice? Well, the fact is, if I tried to create a storyboard in PowerPoint, it would actually take longer as I would constantly have to go from normal view to slide sorter view to see the "whole picture." The analog approach (paper or whiteboard) to sketch out my ideas and create a rough storyboard really helps solidify and simplify my message in my own head. I then have a far easier time laying out those ideas in PowerPoint. I usually do not even have to look at the whiteboard or legal pad when I am in PowerPoint, because the analog process alone gave a clear visual image of how I want the content to flow. I glance at my notes to remind me of what visuals I thought of using at certain points and then go to or to my own extensive library of high-quality stock images to find the perfect image.6. Have a sound, clear structureTake a page out out the McKinsey presentation handbook: presentation structure is paramount. Without it, your wonderful style, delivery and great supporting visuals will fall flat. If you took the time in the first step to outline your ideas and set them up in a logical fashion, then your thinking should be very clear. You can visualize the logic of your content and the flow of the presentation. If your ideas are not clear first, it will be impossible todesign the proper structure later when you create visuals and/or supporting documents. Your audience needs to see where you are going. And it is not enough to simply have an "agenda" or "road map" slide in the beginning that illustrates the organization of your talk. If you do not actually have a solid road of logic and structure, then an outline slide will be of no use. In fact, the audience may become even more irritated since you made the promise of organization in the beginning, but then failed to deliver the promise with a presentation which is muddled and lacks focus.7. Dakara nani? (so what?)In Japanese I often say to myself, "dakara nani?" or "sore de...?" which translate roughly as "so what?!" or "your point being...?" I say this often while I am preparing my material. When building the content of your presentation always put yourself in the shoes of the audience and ask "so what?" Really ask yourself the tough questions throughout the planning process. For example, is your point relevant? It may be cool, but is it important or help your story in a very important way...or is it fluff? Surely you have been in an audience and wondered how what the presenter was talking about was relevant or supported his point. "So what?" you probably said to yourself. "So what?" — always be asking yourself this very important, simple question. If you can't really answer that question, then cut that bit of content out of your talk.8. Can you pass the "elevator test"?Check the clarity of your message with the elevator test. This exercise forces you to "sell" your message in 30-45 seconds. Imagine this is the situation: You have been scheduled to pitch a new idea to the head of product marketing at your company, one of the leading technology manufactures in the world. Both schedules and budgets are tight; this is an extremely important opportunity for you if you are to succeed at getting the OK from the executive team. When you arrive at the Admin desk outside the vice-president's office, suddenly she comes out with her coat and briefcase in hand and barks, "...sorry, something's come up, give me your pitch as we go down to the lobby..." Imagine such a scenario. Could you sell your idea in the elevator ride and a walk to the parking lot? Sure, the scenario is unlikely, but possible. What is very possible, however, is for you to be asked without notice to shorten your talk down, from, say, 20 minutes, to 10 minutes (or from a scheduled one hour to 30 minutes), could you do it? True, you may never have to, but practicing what you might do in such a case forces you to get your message down and make your overall content tighter and clearer.Author, Ron Hoff ("I Can See You Naked") reminds us that your presentation should be able to pass the David Belasco test while you're in the planning stages. David Belasco was a producer who insisted that the core idea for every successful play he produced could be written as a simple sentence on the back of a business card. Try it. Can you crystallize the essence of your presentation content and write it on the back of a business card? If the task is impossible for you, then you may want to think again and get your message down pat in your mind. This too is certainly something you do before you ever begin to open up PowerPoint (Keynote).9. The art of story tellingGood presentations include stories. The best presenters illustrate their points with the use of stories, most often personal ones. The easiest way to explain complicated ideas is through examples or by sharing a story that underscores the point. Stories are easy to remember for your audience. If you want your audience to remember your content, then find a way to make it relevant and memorable to them. You should try to come up with good, short, interesting stories or examples to support your major points.In addition, it is useful to think of your entire 30 minute presentation as an opportunity to "tell a story." Good stories have interesting, clear beginnings, provocative, engaging content in the middle, and a clear, logical conclusion. I have seen pretty good (though not great) presentations that had very average delivery and average graphics, but were relatively effective because the speaker told relevant stories in a clear, concise manner to support his points. Rambling streams of consciousness will not get it done; audiences need to hear (and see) your points illustrated.10. Confidence — How to get itThe more you are on top of your material the less nervous you will be. If you have taken the time to build the logical flow of your presentation, designed supporting materials that are professional and appropriate, there is much less to be nervous about. And, if you have then actually rehearsed with an actual computer and projector (assuming you are using slideware) several times, your nervousness will all but melt away. We fear what we do not know. If we know our material well and have rehearsed the flow, know what slide is next in the deck, and have anticipated questions, then we have eliminated much (but not all) of the unknown. When you remove the unknown and reduce anxiety and nervousness, then confidence is something that will naturally take the place of your anxiety.Slide and HandoutsPowerPoint uses slides with a horizontal or "Landscape" orientation. The software was designed as a convenient way to display graphical information that would support the speaker and supplement the presentation. The slides themselves were never meant to be the "star of the show" (the star, of course, is your audience). People came to hear you and be moved or informed (or both) by you and your message. Don't let your message and your ability to tell a story get derailed by slides that are unnecessarily complicated, busy, or full of what Edward Tufte calls "chart junk." Nothing in your slide should be superfluous, ever.Your slides should have plenty of "white space" or "negative space." Do not feel compelled to fill empty areas on your slide with your logo or other unnecessary graphics or text boxes that do not contribute to better understanding. The less clutter you have on your slide, the more powerful your visual message will become.Your presentation is for the benefit of the audience. But boring an audience with bullet point after bullet point is of little benefit to them. Which brings us to the issue of text. The best slides may have no text at all. This may sound insane given the dependency of text slides today, but the best PowerPoint slides will be virtually meaningless with out the narration (that is you). Remember, the slides are meant to support the narration of the speaker, not make the speaker superfluous.Many people often say something like this: "Sorry I missed your presentation. I hear it was great. Can you just send me your PowerPoint slides?" But if they are good slides, they will be of little use without you. Instead of a copy of your PowerPoint slides, it is far better to prepare a written document which highlights your content from the presentation and expands on that content. Audiences are much better served receiving a detailed, written handout as a takeaway from the presentation, rather than a mere copy of your PowerPoint slides. If you have a detailed handout or publication for the audience to be passed out after your talk, you need not feel compelled to fill your PowerPoint slides with a great deal of text.We’ll talk more about this in the delivery section below, but as long as we are talking about text, please remember to never, ever turn your back on the audience and read text from the slide word for word.This slide is not unusual, but it is nota visual aid, it is more like an "eye chart."Try to avoid text-heavy (and sleep inducing) slides like this one.Aim for something like this simple slide above.And this is even better...Use object builds and slide transitions judiciously. Object builds (also called animations), such as bullet points, should not be animated on every slide. Some animation is a good thing, but stick to the most subtle and professional (similar to what you might see on the evening TV news broadcast). A simple "Wipe Left-to-Right" (from the "Animations" menu) is good for a bullet point, but a "Move" or "Fly" for example is too tedious and slow (and yet, is used in many presentations today). Listeners will get bored very quickly if they are asked to endure slide after slide of animation. For transitions between slides, use no more than two-three different types of transition effects and do not place transition effects between all slides.Use high-quality graphics including photographs. You can take your own high-quality photographs with your digital camera, purchase professional stock photography, or use the plethora of high-quality images available on line (be cautious of copyright issues, however). Never simply stretch a small, low-resolution photo to make it fit your layout - doing so will degrade the resolution even further.Avoid using PowerPoint Clip Art or other cartoonish line art. Again, if it is included in the software, your audience has seen it a million times before. It may have been interesting in 1993, but today the inclusion of such clip art often undermines the professionalism of the presenter. There are exceptions, of course, and not all PowerPoint art is dreadful, but use carefully and judiciously.Try to avoid cheesy clip art like this.This edited stock photograph is moreeffective and professional.I often use images of people in my slides, as photography of people tends to help the audience connect with the slide on a more emotional level. If the photographic image is secondary in importance, then I decrease the opacity and add a Gaussian Blur or motion filter in Photoshop. If the photographic image is the primary area I want the audience to notice (such as a picture of a product), then the image can be more pronounced and little (or no) text is needed.In this title slide, the image is primary.In this slide of the same presentation, the image is secondary and "pushed" to the back by editing it first in Photoshop.You clearly need a consistent visual theme throughout your presentation, but most templates included in PowerPoint have been seen by your audience countless times (and besides, the templates are not all that great to begin with). Your audience expects a unique presentation with new (at least to them) content, otherwise why would they be attending your talk? No audience will be excited about a cookie-cutter presentation, and we must therefore shy away from any supporting visuals, such as the ubiquitous PowerPoint Design Template, that suggests your presentation is formulaic or prepackaged.You can make your own background templates which will be more tailored to your needs. You can then save the PowerPoint file as a Design Template (.pot) and the new template will appear among your standard Microsoft templates for your future use. You can also purchase professional templates on-line (for example:).Always be asking yourself, "How much detail do I need?" Presenters are usually guilty of including too much data in their on-screen charts. There are several ways to display your data in graphic form; here are a few things to keep in mind:Pie Charts. Used to show percentages. Limitthe slices to 4-6 and contrast the mostimportant slice either with color or by explodingthe slice.Vertical Bar ed to show changes inquantity over time. Best if you limit the bars to4-8.Horizontal Bar Charts. Used to comparequantities. For example, comparing salesfigures among the four regions of the company.Line ed to demonstrate trends. Forexample, here is a simple line chart showingthat our sales have gone up every year. Thetrend is good. The arrow comes in later tounderscore the point: Our future looks good!In general, tables are good for side-by-side comparisons of quantitative data. However, tables can lack impact on a visceral level. If you want to show how your contributions are significantly higher than two other parties, for example, it would be best to show that in the form of a bar chart (below, right). If you're trying to downplay the fact that your contributions are lower than others, however, a table will display that information in a less dramatic or emotional way.Color evokes feelings. Color is emotional. The right color can help persuade and motivate. Studies show that color usage can increase interest and improve learning comprehension and retention.You do not need to be an expert in color theory, but it's good for business professionals to know at least a bit on the subject. Colors can be divided into two general categories: Cool (such as blue and green) and Warm (such as orange and red). Cool colors work best for backgrounds as they appear to recede away from us into the background. Warm colors generally work best for objects in the foreground (such as text) because they appear to be coming at us. It is no surprise, then, that the most ubiquitous PowerPoint slide color scheme includes a blue background with yellow text. You do not need to feel compelled to use this color scheme, though you may choose to use a variation of those colors.If you will be presenting in a dark room (such as a large hall), then a dark background (dark blue, grey, etc.) with white or light text will work fine. But if you plan to keep most of the lights on (which is highly advisable) then a white background with black or dark text works much better. In rooms with a good deal of ambient light, a screen image with a dark background and light text tends to washout, but dark text on a light background will maintain its visual intensity a bit better.Learning to Use ColorAs we go through life, we learn that there are folks who are just natural at some things, while others of us have to work hard just to get by. For instance, some people can pick up a musical instrument in a few days, while it may take others a lifetime to learn. Some of us are barely able to speak English, while others can fluently speak several languages. And some of us are unable to do the Electric Slide without injuring those around them, while others can actually make it look like a line dance. The point is, while many things may seem unobtainable, they are things you can learn. We often think of a good eye for color as something innate rather than something learned. But in fact, given the proper tools, and possibly a few electrical shocks along the way, even a person who's colorblind can pick color schemes that are pleasing to the eye. So for all you colorblind readers out there, as well as those who quit Art 101 after learning there would be no nude models involved, we'd like to review how to select colors like a pro using the fundamentals of color.First let's deal with the basic terminology of color just to make sure we don't lose any of you along the way (we'd hate to have to come and pick you up later). We all know that primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. Then to get secondary colors, you add a primary color to another primary color. Yellow and red give you orange, red and blue give you purple, and blue and yellow give you green. But what then are tertiary colors? Why, simply a primary color added to one of the adjacent secondary colors. That means there are six tertiary colors (two colors for every primary color). Figure A shows a summary of these colors in all their basic splendor.Figure A: To pick the best color schemes, it's important to understand the three different types of colors.To fully understand the manner in which these colors relate, it's best to imagine these hues organized in a circle.This organization, shown in Figure B, is known in the design world as the color wheel. Sort of pretty, isn't it? But its real beauty is how it will help you pick colors to use in your Web site design.Figure B: Combining primary, secondary, and tertiary colors together, we get the color wheel. Choosing Colors Using the Color Wheel: The simplest approach to choosing colors using the color wheel is to simply imagine an equilateral triangle floating above the wheel. Each color at the vertices is a usable color. (For those of you who flunked math as well as art, the vertices are the places where the lines of the triangle meet.) This type of color selection is called a triad scheme. From our example in Figure C, you can see that we have four separate triad schemes that we can work with. The idea is that these hues work together to form a harmoniccombination of color.Figure C: There are four possible triads from the color wheel.But you certainly don't have to stop at triads. You could choose complementary colors, that is, hues that are directly across from each other on the color wheel--red and green for instance. These are called complementary colors because, when used together, they seem to make each other brighter and more vivid, as illustrated in Figure D.Figure D: Colors opposite from each other on the color wheel are said to be complementary. Variation on a Scheme: At this point we're ready to start mixing things up a bit, what with the triads and the complementary colors and all. For example, you could combine two complementary pairs together, called a double complement. Something like yellow and purple, blue and orange. Another iteration of glorious color wouldbe an alternate complement, where you combine a triad with the complement to one of the triadic hues. Green, reddish-purple, red, and orange for instance. You can also have a split complement that uses three colors, a hue and the two adjacent to its complement.Finally, in the combination category, you can have a tetrad, where you combine four colors that are directly across from each other. Here you would be using a primary, a secondary, and two tertiary colors. Figure E shows examples of each of these schemes.Figure E: Contrasting themes can liven up any Web site.All in the Family: Now that we've covered all the possible variations of contrasting colors, we need to take a look at the two types of schemes that use related colors--monochromatic and analogous. A monochromatic color set, as it sounds, uses a single hue but with varying tints and shades. Used correctly, this scheme can give a Web site a nice, clean look. An analogous color set, on the other hand, uses four contiguous colors along the wheel. Any four--you just spin the wheel. As you'll notice from the example shown in Figure F, the analogous scheme appears quite similar to a monochromatic scheme.Figure F: An analogous scheme looks almost monochromatic.Putting it all Together: Now that we've thoroughly inundated you with color choices, we need to give you a few final warnings. First and foremost, the color schemes we've highlighted may not work by themselves. You may still need to tweak the colors by varying the saturation and the value of each of the colors. The schemes that we illustrated are starting points, not ending points. Ultimately, the deciding factor will be the Web site's readability and the overall look and feel of the colors. To help you visualize how these colors will play off one another, design experts suggest you fire up any of the graphics applications that let you work in layers and compare the various themes to see which works best for your site. For example, as you can see in Figure G, some color combinations work without a bother while others require a little tweaking.Figure G: You can't expect every color combination to work for you.Conclusion: While the choice of color is one of the most subjective decisions in the world of design, it's still important to understand the theory behind why you should choose one set of colors over another. The theory may not let you instantly select a color scheme, but it will certainly lead you along the right path. Now, all you need to do is learn how to do the Electric Slide.Fonts communicate subtle messages in and of themselves, which is why you should choose fonts deliberately. Use the same font set throughout your entire slide presentation, and use no more than two complementary fonts (e.g., Arial and Arial Bold). Make sure you know the difference between a Serif font (e.g., Times New Roman) and a Sans-Serif font (Helvetica or Arial). Serif fonts were designed to be used in documents filled with lots of text. Serif fonts are said to be easier to read at small point sizes, but for on screen presentations the serifs tend to get lost due to the relatively low resolution of projectors. San-serif fonts are generally best for PowerPoint presentations, but try to avoid the ubiquitous Helvetica. I often choose to use Gill Sans as it is somewhere in between a serif and a sans-serif font and is professional yet friendly and "conversational." Regardless of what font you choose, make sure the text can be read from the back of the room.Times Arial Black and Arial。

外企做Presentation的经验技巧大多欧美企业都非常重视presentation skills，不懂得这一点，是许多在外企工作的人认为自己怀才不遇的原因。

我不敢自称presentation高手，但我深谙外企presentation之道，这不是自吹自擂，而是十年外企工作经验的所得。

所谓presentation，不一定非是powerpoint presentation不可。

外企对管理人员的衡量指标之一有一个selling skill，其实大多便是从presentation里面得来的印象。

外企看重的presentation是所有外企员工展示自己能力最好的平台，不懂得这个道理便做不好presentation.不论是怎样的presentation，目的都一样——说服别人接受某一个观点，告诉别人他们不了解的事。

下面从技术上谈谈几个步骤及要点：1. Title page或Front page（封面/首页）以powerpoint为例，一个好的presentation的封面页上要有以下几个要素：（1）演示题目（长度不超过一行的60%，如太长，应精简文字或设为两行。

三行为大忌。

）（2）副标题（不一定要有）（3）演示人姓名：常用的排版方式是全居中，也可以采用full block或half block，但要与选用的powerpoint template背景配合。

（4）日期2. Introduction（简介）演示内容的简要介绍。

3. Agenda（演示专题目录）这一点至关重要，目的是给听众一个清晰的脉络，给人条理性强的印象。

但agenda的页面排版要注意：最好不要超过6行，每行注意长度不要超过页面一行的80%，保证页面整体的视觉效果清晰。

4. 演示正文页面字数最忌太多。

注意给页面给白，并且要按照信息的重要性排好次序，每行字数不要差别太大。

正文页面不要使用全局中方式。

有一种理论说，每行不要超过6个字，有一定的道理，但不一定。

SOME IMPORTANT PRESENTATION TIPS1. Structuring Your PresentationYour presentation should contain an Introduction, a Body and a Conclusion.1.1 IntroductionThe Introduction should give a brief overview of your topic. You can doany or all of the following:(a) Introduce yourself and – if you have any – your partners, forexample: ‘Good morning/Good afternoon, fellow classmates.I’m Chen, and these are my teammates, Minh and Su Kyi.’(b) Introduce the topic, perhaps by giving a bit of backgroundinformation, for example: ‘Have you ever been to Sentosa?It’s a lovely place, with different kinds of attractions.’(c) State your purpose or aim; in other words, ask yourself thisquestion: ‘By the end of the presentation, what do I w ant myaudience to have learnt?’ You might say, for example, ‘Bythe end of this presentation you’ll have learnt a lot about allthe interesting places to visit on Sentosa’.(d) Give a brief preview of the sections and content; if you havepartners, you can tell your audience which speaker is coveringwhich section, for example: ‘I’ll be telling you all about Sentosa’sUnderw ater Aquarium, while Minh w ill talk about Fort Siloso andSu Kyi w ill cover the beaches and resorts’.(e) If possible, tell your audience about how much time you are goingto take (they’ll appreciate it!).Do try to use attention-seeking methods in your introduction. This isbecause you’ve got to grab your listeners’ attention within the first minuteor two. If you don’t get it then, you probably never will. Here are someexamples:(a) Make a surprising, even startling statement, for example:‘Do you know that over two million people visited Sentosa lastyear?’(b) Ask a question, for example: ‘How many of you have ever been toSentosa?’(c) Tell a brief story or anecdote, for example: ‘Do you kno w whathappened to me the first time I went to Sentosa? I actually gotlost ... !’(d) Give a quotation from a famous person, or a proverb, for e xample:‘There is a good Chinese proverb that really captures how I feltwhen I saw Sentosa for the first time...’1.2 BodyThe body of course contains the content of your presentation. It mustof course be accurate and contain all the relevant information youraudience will need to know. It must also be organised.The following steps might help you in the preparation of the body:(a) Collect the information you need-from your research-from your own experience(b) Make an outline by-dividing your topic into sections-listing the main points to be covered in each section-filling in the details you will need to make under eachmain pointTOPICFirst Section Second Section Third sectionMain point 1 Main point 1 Main point 1Details: Details: Details:___________ ______________ _______________________ ______________ ____________Main point 2 Main point 2 Main point 2Details: Details: Details:___________ ______________ _______________________ ______________ ____________Main point 3 Main point 3 Main point 3Details: Details: Details:___________ ______________ _______________________ ______________ ____________Reminder: Whatever you decide to put into the body, it must alwaysserve the purpose of achieving the objective that you originally set outto achieve.1.3 ConclusionThe Conclusion must make clear whether your objective was actuallyfulfilled. In some cases, it may consist of a simple summarisingstatement, for example: ‘So there you have it. My partners and I havetold you all about Sentosa’s attractions. We hope that has given youan idea for a really ‘fun’ outing in Singapore.’ You can then invitequestions from your audience: ‘If you have any questions, we’ll behappy to answer them’.2. Delivery SkillsPublic speaking is one of the greatest known confidence boosters in the world.It is therefore not just something that will be useful to you here at NgeeAnn, but for the rest of your life. There is really no ‘secret’ to it. The most important thing is to be natural, be yourself, whether you are speaking just to one person or to an audience of 1,000.To do this effectively, you should be aware of several important delivery skills.These skills fall into three categories:(1) Verbal(2) Vocal(3) VisualOf the three, which one do you think has the greatest impact on the audience?The second greatest? The least?2.1 Verbal SkillsThe key to success in this area is to use spoken, not written language.This means no reading and no memorising; otherwise you will soundmechanical, like a ‘robot’, and that does not sound natural at all. Thisalso means using simple words and short sentences.Another important point to remember is that you must link your ideasso that your audience knows where you are. That means using wordssuch as first, next, finally, and other expressions as well. Here are someexamples:‘First, I’m going to talk to you about Sentosa’s underw ateraquarium. Then, I’ll tell you about the beautiful beaches.Finally, I’ll describe Sentosa’s number-one resort.’‘Now that I’ve told you about the underw ater aquarium,let me move on to th e lovely beaches.’‘I’ve just talked about the beautiful beaches.Now I’d like to move on to the island’s fantastic resort.’In this way, your listeners will never feel ‘lost’, because you are givingthem a ‘verbal road map’, telling them wh ere you are, and where youare going.2.2 Vocal SkillsVocal skills refer to your voice quality, for example, how loud and clearyou are. To achieve good vocal skills, remember the following points:(a) Make sure everyone – including those at the back of the room –can hear you. Too loud is better than too soft!(b) Speak at a lively pace. If you’re too slow, your listeners may goto sleep. But don’t rush: if you speak very rapidly, they will havetrouble understanding you.(c) Make sure your pronunciation is accurate and that you are clear.If your pronunciation is unsatisfactory, again, your listeners willhave trouble understanding you ... they may not even understandyou at all!(d) Sound enthusiastic when you speak. You can achieve this bychanging the pitch of your voice. If you don’t sound interested inyour own topic, no one else is going to feel interested.What can very much help you to overcome any of the above problems isa tape recorder. Use one to record your own voice and then listen to howyou sound. You may not be very happy with the results, but you will im- mediately hear the areas in which you are weak. For example, you mayfind that you are too slow (or too fast), or that you are not clear, or thatyou sound very dull. You can then take immediate action to correct these problems so that your presentation will be effective.2.2 Visual SkillsVisual skills involve important areas such as your appearance and bodylanguage. In fact, this is the area which has the greatest impact of allupon your audience. To maximise it,(a) Project a confident image. This is something you will achieveas you gain more experience in public speaking.(b) Be expressive: use your hands to make natural, spontaneousgestures. Don’t cross your arms or hide them behindyour back.(c) Be sincere. You can accomplish this by maintaining eyecontact with your audience. Don’t every look awayfrom your listeners.If you have problems in any of these areas, here are some correctiontechniques that are known to help:(a) Practise and rehearse as much as possible, preferably before afew people who you know will give you honest feedback thatwill help you to improve.(b) Practise in front of a mirror as well; this will help you to seewhether you have any behaviour or mannerisms that may bedistracting to the audience.(c) Try to rehearse at least once in the actual room in which youare going to give the presentation, if that is possible.(d) Videotape yourself if this is possible, and when you watch theplayback, you will immediately see in which areas you need toimprove.3. Extra Tips for Effective PresentationsDo you feel nervous before a presentation? If so, then that’s all right, becausea little nervousness serves as an effective motivating factor, which will make youwant to do your best. But too much nervousness, of course, is not good, as itwill then interfere with your presentation.The following tips will help you avoid excessive nervousness. They will also help you bring out the best in yourself anytime you have to get up and present.(a) On the physical side:-Take deep, relaxing breaths just before you present.-Alternately tense and relax your muscles.-Shake your feet to get rid of any excess adrenaline build-up.(b) On the psychological side:-Create a positive mental image of yourself. Imagine yourselfpresenting so well that everyone gives you lots of applause.-Show the audience that you are really enjoying yourself when youpresent. They will enjoy themselves, too, and that will havea positive effect upon your performance.-Smile from time to time!If you follow the above advice, you will automatically feel more relaxed, and when you are more relaxed, your performance is always better.Additional Oral Presentation PracticeEither in pairs or individually, prepare and deliver a three-minute presentation on atopic chosen from the list below.Each presentation should include-a brief Introduction,-a body organised into sections containing at least the main pointsand using link words,-a concluding statement.The following is a list of NgeeAnn-related topics from which you can choose. Do note, however, that these are all very general topics, and thus too broad for development in just a three-minute presentation. This means that you must narrow down the topic toa much more manageable as pect. For example, if you choose the topic ‘CCA’s at NP’, you might want to focus only on one particular CCA about which you are knowledgeable. Or you might want to discuss only the advantages and/or disadvantages of participation in CCA’s, so your focus will be on that only.NP CanteensStudy Areas on CampusNP LibraryTransport to and from NPNP ClassroomsStudent TimetablesCCA’s at NPLecturer/Student Rapport: Does it Exist?NP Campus LifeMy Course of Study at NPExaminations.... or any other aspect of NgeeAnn life not mentioned above!。

关于做presentation的技巧（范文大全）第一篇：关于做presentation的技巧关于做presentation 的技巧～～ 2008-05-27 12:47 今天上ＡＲＷ课，主要内容是speech&oral presentation , 占期末评分的１０％。

偶由于前段时间一直在忙ＩＢ和选修，ＰＰＴ准备得很仓促，演讲稿即使写好了也没排练过几次，可是说是临阵磨枪，加上本人一直有怯场的毛病，结果可想而知－－－２０分的满分只拿了１４分；还被vickie 挑出一堆毛病，什么一些发音有问题啊，lack of eye-contact 阿，肢体语言不够啊。

郁闷半晌～～回来后痛定思痛，在网站上面搜了一些关于作presentation的小技巧，可能会对同学们有帮助。

1.不能紧张，周围最好有个什么可以依靠的东西。

2.可以将一些关键的词汇做好小的卡片，放在手中或者是前面的桌子上，但不要有太多的细节，否则会导致你总是不停的看手中的东西。

3.可以适当的应用一些道具，包括你要介绍或者解释的东西时，可以把这样东西相关的拿到讲演的地方，在讲解的过程中可以吸引听众的注意力。

4.条件允许的话，可以使用power point等，方便自己的讲解，也不会把讲解弄的很尴尬，但是主要的戏份是在讲演，而不是放映幻灯片。

5.可以准备一杯水，其实水的作用是来缓解压力或者当你一下子陷入茫然的时候给自己一个考虑的机会。

6.说话的时候勿求难词，关键是让大家能够听得懂，明白你究竟在说什么。

7.说话的语速控制在VOA Special English的速度上，可以使说话更加清晰表述清楚。

8.可以适当的穿插一些互动性的问题，这一点很重要，可以重申你的观点，并且让听众更加了解你要说的事情。

9.结束的时候千万不可以说that is all。

类的句型，这一点是外国人特别强调的，可以说thank you for coming等等一类的礼貌的话10.要尽量的放松，可以深呼吸或者是使两脚分开站立都是好的方法。

1. Know the needs of your audience and match your contents to their needs.Know your material thoroughly. Put what you have to say in a logicalsequence. Ensure your speech will be captivating to your audience as well as worth their time and attention. Practice and rehearse your speech at home or where you can be at ease and comfortable, in front of a mirror, your family, friends or colleagues. Use a tape-recorder and listen toyourself. Videotape your presentation and analyze it. Know what yourstrong and weak points are. Emphasize your strong points during yourpresentation.充分了解听众需求，根据他们的需求准备相匹配的内容。

彻底了解你的材料。

把你要说的内容按逻辑顺序安排好。

确保你的演讲会向你的听众着迷，能够吸引他们的注意力。

你可以在家或任何让你感到舒服的地方进行排练演讲，你可以对着一面镜子，或者对着你的家人，朋友或同事练习。

你也可以使用录音机来练习。

或者面对录像来进行演讲，并分析录下的内容，从而了解你的长处和短处在哪。

然后在演讲过程中，强化你的长处。

2. When you are presenting in front of an audience, you are performing as anactor on stage. How you are being perceived is very important. Dressappropriately for the occasion. Be solemn if your topic is serious. Present the desired image to your audience. Look pleasant, enthusiastic, confident, proud, but not arrogant. Remain calm. Appear relaxed, even if you feelnervous. Speak slowly, enunciate clearly, and show appropriate emotion and feeling relating to your topic. Establish rapport with your audience.Speak to the person farthest away from you to ensure your voice is loud enough to project to the back of the room. Vary the tone of your voice and dramatize if necessary. If a microphone is available, adjust and adapt your voice accordingly.当你在观众面前展示的时候，你其实是作为一个演员在舞台上进行表演的。

适合给同事做的presentation第一步：建立框架首先要对你的Presentation建立起一个清晰的框架。

做到这点之前，需要明确以下三点：你的观众是谁、你想要讲什么、通过这次汇报演讲你想达到的目的或者想传达的信息是什么。

举个例子，比如说要在课堂上介绍一个品牌，那你的观众就是同学们（可能对这个品牌不太熟悉），想要讲品牌的创建历史、产品特点、发展情况，想要让大家了解这个品牌；或者工作中，你面向的可能是客户，想要汇报你的成果和优势，目的就是达成合作等等。

如果是小组作业，可以和你的组员头脑风暴（Brainstorm）一下，将想出来的点子和信息写在纸上，然后按照框架归类。

一般来说，最好是将你的信息点总结成三部分。

三部分不仅简洁明了，避免你的Presentation过于冗长，而且三部分对听众来说，是最舒服的框架模式。

换句话说，分成三部分的Presentation更容易让观众记住。

第二步：制作Visual Aids一般来说，大家做Presentation的时候都会用到PPT，接下来就和大家具体说说在做PPT的时候应该注意些什么。

首先要明确你的听众，这一点在第一步的时候已经说过了，但是很多人还是会忽略。

明确你的听众是谁决定了你PPT的整体风格：是学术类型还是商业案例？是简洁还是生动有趣？这些都是要在做PPT之前就要想好的。

其次，在做PPT的时候一般来说一定要简洁，千万不要放大段文字，用关键词（Key Words/Bullet Point）来概括你要说的点。

大家上课的时候肯定也有这种感受，讲得好的老师PPT上基本上不会出现长段的文字，你的注意力也是集中在老师的身上，而非PPT；而有的老师则会整段整段读PPT，就非常枯燥了。

背景上也尽量以单一色调为主，但是这也不绝对。

比如委员前段时间做了一个有关乐高玩具的展示，背景就会活泼一点，选了他们的玩具图作为背景。

这里要和大家说个妙招——如果你想选比较丰富的背景，但是又怕看起来太乱，可以将背景虚化或变淡，然后用对比强烈一点的文本框来突出你的信息点。
