The presentation consists not only of the ability to correctly compose slides, but also of the art of speech. The more pleasant the speech sounds, the more favorable the impression you can create. The timbre of a male voice is very different from that of a female. When we speak, we use different intonations, logical stress, speech rate, and voice volume.
Instructions
Step 1
For a successful presentation, prepare your speech in writing first. Highlight all the important and secondary parts, divide the text into several subtopics in order to understand where to make pauses and logical accents.
Step 2
If the presentation contains foreign words or words that are borrowed for the Russian language, check the correctness of stress in them using the orthoepic and other dictionaries. Also, be careful with professional vocabulary.
Step 3
Record your speech and listen to how it sounds. The way we hear our voice when we speak is different from what others hear. If your voice is very high, you will subconsciously be perceived by the audience as a child. Try adjusting the pitch so that it sounds most pleasing. For male voices it is better to lower the timbre.
Step 4
Think about the venue in which you will be performing. Will it be a hall with a microphone or a small room? Either way, you need to decide what volume is acceptable. After all, everyone should hear you. Practice, if possible, at the venue. Ask someone to stand at the end of the room or hall and determine if they can hear you well. To make your rehearsal as close to reality as possible, you can turn on any recording that will simulate background noise. Try adjusting the volume of your voice.
Step 5
Determine how fast your speech sounds. Even if your presentation time is limited, you should sound confident and at a pace, but not too much. Speaking very quickly is perceived as fuss or inexperience and complicates the general perception. Speaking in a non-native language and you are not very confident in pronunciation may speed up your speech. Control yourself, try to calm down and slow down.
