Your audience should be able to absorb the content within two minutes, and fiftee n to twenty seconds of that time will be spent in just focusing attention. Visual aids should present only highlights. A good visual aid is meant to supplement, reinforce, and aid spoken material, not to take its place, detract from it or overwhelm it. Use it to highlight particular points or to group related points. If you plan to use non-projected visual aids, ensure that they are sturdy and portable.
Preliminary Arrangements Be sure to make an advance check of the room facility and set-up.
Make sure that your non-projector aids can be set up. If using electrical equipment, be sure that it is in working order. Techniques State the subject of your talk and proceed with your introduction, i.e., tell the audience what you are going to cover and why it is important to them. Although a formal paper will be presented, these suggestions may assist in your oral presentation. Use of Notes.
