GIVING A PRESENTATION - TIPS, BODY LANGUAGE AND GESTURES


A Few Tips on Public Speaking.
  1. Practice. Many people fail at speaking in public because they don't practice before. Make sure that you know when you are going to use gestures.
  2. KNOW what you are talking about. Study the material and write it yourself, use your words.
  3. Introduce yourself and classmates.
  4. State your topic, and the main parts of your presentations. If necessary, state the purpose of your talk; persuade, inform, etc. 
  5. Make eye contact. It helps connect with your audience. Look at the audience, NOT at the presentation or the teacher. PowerPoint is a tool, NOT the center of your presentation.
  6. Control mannerisms. Your body language is very important. Don't put your hands in your pockets, or cross your arms... watch this video
  7. Enunciate. Speak clearly. NEVER worry about your accent; embrace it.
  8. DON'T read your presentation. That is sure way to lose the interest of your audience.
  9. Enjoy it. If you enjoy your presentation, your audience will too.

  5. I didn´t know an unexperted guy could present in Samsung! I can see now that a lot of people are lost in their presentations, as well as the form they do it. Also, It´s impressive that if you only explain yourself by pointing your palm to the roof, tou catch the attention of the audience, but i think the most important thing that I learned was the posture to present :D

    I liked the video, it's very funny. I think knowing these kind of tips in order to develop our public presentation skills are very useful. I had not thought about the fact of being the guide of the topic, and I also think it's so important to have congruence with our message and gestures.
    Ahother fact is the one that is not mentioned in the video at all, but I could identificate several times: Make your audicnce feel important, respected and confident. The speakers, with their ideas, every moment were looking for the good treat to their audicnce and a more confident relation.

  7. I think it was a really good video and not only because that is such an important information that all people should know, also because I realize that even when I thought sometimes that my body language is correct now I know that is not. One important thing is that maybe you can be nervous but you don't have to let audience notice about it and you can do that using this tools.

    I found the video very useful, i didn't know about a lot of things that were mentioned in the video, i learned new ways to perform body language in a presentation and i also learned how to keep the audience focused on the topic by analysing them. I liked the video because it was interesting and at the same time it was a little bit funny so i didn't get bored at the time i was watching it

    I liked this video because I think that it is going to be very useful not only for our project but for our life. I always thought that the body language was very important when you're taking to an audience but now I think that it is the priority because it is a powerful roll in the communication and you have to use it wisely because you can distract them. I learned a lot from this video, now I know that I have to care about the position, something that before I didn't care, also that I have to face the people, that the gestures have to match with the conversation, and I think the most important thing is that you have to make a connection with the audience, because they're the priority, they are the ones that are listening to you, you have keep the audience on track. "You are the guide".

  12. A little late, but I find this video very useful to remember what we must and must NOT do at a PowerPoint presentation, and I think the way it's presented help us to understand why a lot of animations or certain types of fonts are wrong. And more than just what you are presenting as a tool, this shows us the importance of our expressions and body language and we can learn how to use them to connect with our audience. Not only for our project, I think this is going to be very helpful at any future presentation of any subject.

  15. I found this video very interesting and also useful. I think that it is going to help me a lot with my presentation and with my future presentations. I found very useful tips like for example you have to keep in mind your position because if you are standing in a bad place the audience canget distracted by other things that they’re not in your control, also you have to use very wisely your hands because if you use it wrong you can make the audience uncomfortable and also one of the most important things: you have to make eye contact to the audience in order to get attention from them and notice if they’re bored to try to make more interactive the presentation. and the last thing like in the video they said the body language is a superpower that you have to use it very well.

  16. This video was very interested and also funny. It showed us the things that we're doing at the time of present in public. With this video we can correct the mistakes that we're doing.

Also to know how to use your body language at the time of present. I think that this video would help me a lot for the rest of my life.

    I think this video teaches us something very important in a funny way. PowerPoint is now used as a presentation and not as what it actually is: a tool. Body language, presence, confidence and knowledge about what you are talking about are essential to a good presentation. This will help me in all my presentations now on.

  18. I think this information plus the one we saw at the classroom, will help me a lot to make an excellent power point presentation, for the project this month and long term for the future. I personally think i would never have thought about some specific tips that were mentioned.

    I found this video really useful because it makes you think of all the things you have to improve while you're speaking like your gestures, the way you stand in front of your audience and to never point at the audience, it depends on us to try that the audience is interested on what we're talking about.These kind of tips are really useful.

    I think this video is going to help me a lot because it shows some tips that i will use at presentations. The mistakes we made are because we dont know how to express the ideas and we get nervous. I agree with the guy that says "the body language is a superpower" but not everyone know how to controle or use it.

  30. From this video I learned a lot: how to stand in front of your audiencie, making the right gestures and to know how to engage with your audience. I also uderstood that its okay to be nervous, is just not okay to make it visible and let it control you and the presentation.
    The video was not only helpful for this class, but for my other classes and even for life.

    Dude you made me laugh so hard sometimes with this video, it has not much fun jokes but it got out a smile from me. I think it's very important to while we are watching the video to think in our own posture, and everything that they tell us about body language. The fact that people who don't have control over their body gestures or the way that they give input to you makes the audience to lose attention on the presentation it´s so true. This will really help everyone who watched the video to become great at speaking in public.

  39. I really enjoyed the video because now I know that body gestures are very important when you give a presentation and that body gestures also talk about how you are and body gestures also can be more agresive like pointing or they can be more kind like pointing but with your hand open and the palms up
    This are some technics I can use when I give my presentation

    I nevera tought that the body lenguage was so important to catch your audience attention. I am usually the kind oficina person who has the hands un my pockets, also i don't move around the classroom or move my hands. It was really clear that you should never point the audience with your finger, thats the lower percent of catch the audience, it's much way better to put your hand palm up. This video and tips are going to make me fell sure of my presentation and don't worry about, but enjoy it.
