THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD

DO:

The good presenter must take into account the following keys:

Podium panic:The main enemy of a presenter is tension and fear of talking in public. because it influences voice, body language,and eye contact.

Voice:The voice is the most important tool of the presenter.

The qualities you should manage in your voice: *volume: How loud the sound is. The goal is to be heard without shouting. Good speakers lower their voice to attract the audience, and raise it to make a point. *tone: your tone expreses your feelling so try to never let them guess what you are feeling (afraid,bored,not passionate…) *Pace:Talking too fast causes the words and syllables to be short, while talking slowly lengthens them. Varying the pace helps to maintain the audience's interest.

Body language:*People not only listen to you, they also watch you. Slouching tells them you are indifferent or you do not care... even though you really care.

*If you get your posture right, you will feel better instantly. Also your sitting or standing position has some effect on your mood and feelings. So ensure that you are using the proper posture when you are talking to your audience.

Eye ontact:Speakers who make eye contact open the flow of communication and show interest,

Language… It is very important because without it no one can understand you… Using technical words more than it is necessary ,too wordy,not clear…All theseAspects lead your audience to say:

Active Listening:Good speakers not only inform their audience, they also listen to them. And by listening, you know if they are understanding the information.

Good characteristics of effective listeners are: -Spend more time listening than talking (but of course, as a presenter, you will be doing most of the talking). -Do not finish the sentence of others. -Do not answer questions by questions. -Never daydream or become preoccupied with their own thoughts when others talk. -Let the other speaker talk. Do not dominate the conversation.

QuestioningKeep cool if a questioner disagrees with you. You are not a professional! No matter how hard you try, not everyone in the world will agree with you.

Make sure you listen to the question being asked. If you do not understand it, ask them to clarify. Pause to think about the question.When you answer, be honest, do not waffle and Tell them you will get back to them... and make sure you do!
