UNIT 7: PREPARING ORAL PRESENTATIONS Write the Presentation Introduction Job Aid 7.2 Preparing an Oral Presentation (Continued) The beginning of the speech establishes your relationship with the audience and lets them know what to expect. This is the time and place in which you would: Introduce yourself and establish credibility. Express a single, topic sentence that captures the essence of your message. Get your audience’s attention through: • Relevant humor. • Provocative statements. • Startling facts. • Rhetorical questions. Make your personal stance clear. Discussion This section should illustrate or prove your viewpoint. Here you should: Present your main points. • Use statistics. • Provide details. • Draw analogies. Stir emotion in the audience. • Personalize your message through anecdotes or examples. • Let your enthusiasm and sincerity show. • Use vivid language. Conclusion The end of a speech should be as carefully orchestrated as the other sections. Do not end a speech abruptly. Follow these steps: Tell the audience that you are about to bring your remarks to a close. Summarize your main points briefly. Make a parting statement that is memorable.

UNIT 7: PREPARING ORAL PRESENTATIONS Develop a Delivery Strategy How do you wish to appear? Job Aid 7.3 Delivering an Oral Presentation What tone is appropriate for the subject matter and audience? How can you use body language effectively? Should you anticipate speech anxiety? How long should you speak? Practice Practice repeatedly until you are completely familiar with the content. Rehearse the opening of your speech until you have it memorized. (This strategy will help you to relax.) Become comfortable with the pronunciation and enunciation of your material. Present your speech in front of a mirror with a watch to check your pacing and ensure that your message fits the allotted time. Ask an observer to provide feedback to refine your posture, eye contact, and gestures. • Stand upright and relaxed. • Make eye contact with people in various parts of the room. • Try to gesture an average of twice in each sentence. • Turn your torso to face various parts of the audience. • Use volume, pitch, and emphasis to maximize your message. If possible, videotape your practice session. Otherwise, tape record yourself. Use pauses for impact before you begin and during speech transitions. Effective Communication Page 7.12
