3. Speak with enthusiasm: Enthusiasm is being lively and showing your own
personal concern for your subject and your audience. If you are truly interested
in your topic, your delivery is certain to be enthusiastic and lively.
4. Vary your speaking rate: Your words should not be too fast or too slow. If you
speak too slowly you will bore your audience. If you speak too rapidly you will
be difficult to understand. Adapt your rate to the context of your speech. For
example, if you are explaining complex information, slow down. If you are
enthusiastic, you should speed up. This change of pace is very important.
5. Make it easy for people to understand: Speak clearly, without gabbling. Use
short sentences and straight forward language. Use the sorts of words and
phrases you use for speaking, not those you would use in writing (the large
difference between the two explains why it is so difficult to follow a speaker
who is reading)
6. Try to be interesting: Use visual aids to sustain interest, and vary your pace.
Relevant jokes can be effective if used sparingly. Avoid jokes completely if
you have any doubts about your skill in telling them.
7. Use detail sparingly: If detail is important, have a written handout for
distribution before or after (not during) your presentation. Handouts distributed
during your talk will lose you your audience.
8. Keep any notes brief: It is reassuring to have notes, especially if you are
nervous. But keep them brief, and number them clearly so that if you do drop
them in your anxiety, or they mysteriously rearrange themselves, you can
reorder them easily. Cards are easiest to handle. Mark the point at which you
will be using visual aids to what is appropriate. The ease of generating slides
on a computer leads some presenters to use far too many slides. There is a risk
of giving a very dull presentation, and talking to your computer screen rather
than your audience.
9. Avoid over-running the stated time: Not keeping to your allotted time is a sure
sign of ineffectiveness. Audiences plan their time, and do not like to have these
plans disrupted.
10.Practice: You know now the basic principles of effective delivery and should
realize that the actual delivery of your presentation is just as important as
having a well-organized and developed speech. However, studying this
information won’t guarantee an effective speech presentation. You must
rehearse and practice the speech you have prepared. For best results, you
should begin practicing days before your actual presentation.
As already suggested (see point 5), you should pay attention to the use of
language in your presentation in terms of the clarity of communication. Short words
and short sentences will almost certainly make your presentation clearer.
Look at the differences in style between the following two sentences. Note how
complicated abstract language can be replaced by simple words so that the message is
expressed more clearly.
