TIPS FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Do:

Come early, really early – Don’t fumble with slideshow or hooking up a projector when
people are waiting for you to speak. Come early, scope out the room, run through your
slideshow and make sure there won’t be any glitches. Preparation can do a lot to remove
your speaking anxiety.
 Speak directly into the microphone and/or directly to the crowd
 Speak slowly and clearly
 Stand up straight
 Dress professionally
 Use heavy index cards, preferably 5 x 7, numbered consecutively in top, right corner
 Check yourself from all angles, preferably in a full-length mirror, and in good light
 Practice your speech every day for a minimum of four days
 Make eye contact with one person in each quadrant of the room
 U se appropriate fonts . Recommend a sans serif font for titles (e.g., Arial, Verdana,
Helvetica, etc.) and a serif font for bullets or body text (e.g., Times New Roman, Goudy,
Garamond, Palatino, etc.).
Most books are typeset this way because it makes them more readable. The serifs
help you recognize the characters (and thus the words) faster. It makes the text
more readable. It’s also customary to use san serif fonts for chart labels.
 Get Practice – Join Toastmasters and practice your speaking skills regularly in front of an
audience. Not only is it a fun time, but it will make you more competent and
confident when you need to approach the podium.
 Apologize if You’re Wrong – One caveat to the above rule is that you should apologize if
you are late or shown to be incorrect. You want to seem confident, but don’t be a jerk
about it.
 Turning all the way around -- look at yourself in a full-length mirror good light.
Do not:
 Apologize – Apologies are only useful if you’ve done something wrong. Don’t use them

to excuse incompetence or humble yourself in front of an audience. Don’t apologize
for your nervousness or a lack of preparation time. Most audience members can’t
detect your anxiety, so don’t draw attention to it.
 Begin with “I’m really nervous.” or “Excuse me for not being well-prepared.”
 Change your speech at the last minute unless absolutely necessary
 Chew gum
 Drink milk or caffeine immediately before you present
 End with “…that’s pretty much it…”
 Have keys or loose change in your pockets
 Have pens or pencils in your shirt or jacket pocket
 Have more than 8 lines per screen

Keep your hands in your pockets
 Lean on the podium
 Read verbatim from the screen
 Read. If you don’t know your speech without cues, it shows you don’t really understand
your message, a huge blow to any confidence the audience has in you.
