3. WHAT MAKES PEOPLE WANT TO LISTEN
TO A PRESENTATION IF IT IS GOOD
Lots of information onscreen.
Your presentation should stand alone, without you.
Few pictures. They are distracting.
Themes make presentations exciting!
Overstate your claims, justified with vague terms, skewed statistics (or no statistics), biased opinions, or outright lies. This ensures believability.
Flashy transitions are best.
Sound effects are good.
More bullet points means a more gooder talk.
Make sure to talk quietly. Loud voices scare people..
Be sure to not define complicated technical terms. Your audience is intelligent enough.
Everyone loves trollfaces!
Monotone means reliability
Looking presentable is threatening to your audience.
Empty promises are just as good.
