Speaking to the public often causes excitement by the speaker. I want to show myself and my work in the best light, to interest the audience, to make the report like it. Applying a few simple techniques will help you make the presentation more interesting and keep your attention.
Hard work
You worked, prepared for the performance, worried. You can say that you have done the hard work, and the audience is rather idly spending time. However, listening to information is also difficult — most people learn much better from books or videos. Try to make your report as simple as possible. If a term can be replaced by a lighter synonym - do it. Material that is understandable in the form of an article, when trying to assimilate from an audio source, can cause difficulties.
"I saw it too"
Look for places, sources, and events that are likely to be familiar to your public. Mention the fact that you learned in the morning from the popular program, tell us what you saw in the city park, make a reference to the news, which received wide publicity. This will revive that part of the audience, which is also aware of what you are saying, and those who know, in turn, will stir up ignorant neighbors. Tell an interesting fact about the hall or audience in which the lecture is taking place, pay attention to the portraits of famous people hanging on the walls, or just tell us what the weather is like outside.
Personal experience
The speaker’s personal experience is a good way to get the attention of the public. If you can illustrate a statement with an example from your life or from the life of your friends, this will make it easier for students to understand the report. However, this method should not be abused. If half of your speech will be a story about your service in the army, your children or a dog, you will lose the audience.
Visual aids
If possible, give the audience visual aids. These can be graphs illustrating the growth of the enterprise’s productivity, pictures of new devices for which you are campaigning for the company, beautiful photos of the city you are talking about. Firstly, this will make it easier to understand the material. Secondly, people are usually pleased to take away something from the event, even if it is soon sent to the trash.
