Notes

1)Rate. The speed matters , so much dense information to be communicated, important provide enough time for your audience to keep up with your material. Many presenters feel that they must speak quickly in order to get through all the material that they have planned, but If you find yourself in such a position, it is usually better to cut out some information so that you can speak at a more reasonable pace. If you choose to try to cover everything at a rapid speed, there is a high risk that your audience will retain very little of anything, which will have made that extra material counterproductive.
2)Using Pauses. Pauses are an important delivery tool . allow audience a moment to absorb what you have said and they communicates emphasis, but also, they can give you a needed moment to organize your thoughts about what you will be discussing next. Just be sure your pauses don’t become those dreaded verbal fillers by filling them with meaningless sounds like “umm” or “uh”.
3)Eye contact. Make specific and sustained eye contact with individual members of your audience and be sure that you don’t spend too much time talking to your slides. Many presenters feel uncomfortable with looking at the audience and instead they retreat to spending their whole presentation talking to the projector screen. Again, practice will help you to be more comfortable with making eye contact with your audience. Eye contact also provides you with a valuable feedback mechanism—you can see if you audience looks confused and perhaps you need to spend more time on an explanation. Finally, it is important to note that in a technical presentation you are expected to speak to the audience from your knowledge of your material and not rely on notes. When a presenter relies on notes for their information this can have a negative impact on the presenter’s credibility because it implies to the audience that you don’t have a firm grasp on your content. It is fine to briefly refer to a note card for precise information (statistics, quotes, etc.), but refer to that note card only when necessary and keep it out of sight otherwise. Ideally, you will not utilize notes at all.
4)Be aware of nervous movements. Many presenters’ nerves visibly manifest themselves in small repetitive movements such as swaying side to side or fidgeting with hands. This can quickly become distracting to an audience. A great tip to help mitigate these distracting movements is to scrunch your toes inside your shoes. This provides an invisible outlet for that nervous energy. It might sound unlikely, but it works. Try it!
5)Video yourself. It is well worth the effort to videotape yourself giving a presentation (or just practicing). While many people do not enjoy seeing themselves on camera, you can often be your own best critic and you will learn a lot about what areas of your delivery need to be improved simply by watching yourself.
