■ Speakers Suggestions: |
| |
‧ |
Preparation is essential: Rehearse the delivery before a friend or group. |
| |
‧ |
Control your breathing: Speak slowly and distinctly in a normal voice. Hold your speaking level through to the end of each sentence; don't let your voice run down. |
| |
‧ |
Look at your audience: This holds their attention and allows you to project your voice into the room, rather than down at the lectern. |
| |
‧ |
Everyone enjoys humor, except: When it's inappropriate or poorly executed. |
| |
‧ |
Watch your time: Use an agenda to guide the audience and yourself throughout the presentation. During the rehearsal, determine at which point in time you should arrive at each topic. The session chair will manage adherence to the allocated time and speakers that exceed their allocated time will be removed from the podium. |
| |
‧ |
Be sensitive to your audience: Assume some familiarity with your topic in general. |
| |
|
- Keep language simple and understandable.
- Strive to clarify rather than to obscure; be explanatory not evasive.
Avoid jargon and acronyms.
- Eliminate everything that isn't directly related to the point of your
presentation.
- A listener who would like to talk further about your presentation can
consult with you immediately after the session or make an
appointment with you during or after the conference. |
