10 Commandments of Prep

Eye contact establishes a connection withyour audience

Maintain eye contact for a complete thought or 3-5 secondsEnsure you look at all sections or members of the audienceTalk to the audience, not the screen

Eye Contact

Make sure your message reaches everyone in the room

Vocal projectionRate of speechPausesEnthusiasmArticulation Include the final consonants of all wordsDon’t run words togetherMaintain volume at ends of sentencesAvoid verbal fillers

Voice

Your actions should support your message

Gesture as a natural extension of the words

When not gesturing, let arms hang loosely at sides or hold paper clips at your coreDo not lock handsGesture broadly above the waist

Hand Gestures

Use motion to focus your audience’s attention

Keep feet and hips stationaryMove with purpose, move toward your listeners at key moments and away from them when you want to signal a pause or change of topic

Look more at your audience than your visuals

Body Movement

Let your visuals support you and your message

Talk to the audience, not the screen

Don’t read it— flesh it outManage what the audience seesDon’t block the audience’s viewActively focus the audience’s attention
