Presentation best practices
Short answers to the questions presenters ask most. Choose a topic.
What to say
How should I structure a 5-minute presentation?
Open with the one point you want people to remember. Support it with two or three reasons or examples. Close by repeating the point and saying what you want your audience to do next. Five minutes goes quickly, so cut anything that does not support that one point.
Should I use a script or notes?
Use short notes with key words. A full script tends to pull your eyes down and flatten your voice. Know your opening and closing lines by heart and talk through the middle.
How much should I rehearse?
Rehearse out loud at least three times and time yourself each time. Saying it aloud shows you where you stumble and where you run long.
How many slides should I use?
Fewer than you think. Keep to one idea per slide, large type and as few words as you can. Your audience should be listening to you, with the slide supporting what you say.
Recording your video
What do I need to record my video?
A laptop or phone with a camera and microphone, a quiet room and steady light on your face. Face a window or a lamp so the light is in front of you.
How should I set up the camera?
Put the camera at eye level and frame yourself so your head and shoulders fill most of the picture. Look at the lens when you speak. On video, that is what eye contact looks like.
Do I need a perfect take?
No. Your first video is a starting point. Record it once or twice, choose one and submit it. An honest first take gives you the most useful feedback.
Delivery
How do I manage nerves?
Slow your breathing before you start, plant your feet and begin with a line you know well. Nerves usually settle within the first 30 seconds once you are talking.
How do I cut filler words?
Replace them with a pause. Watch your video once just to count them, since noticing them is most of the work. A short silence sounds confident to your audience.
How fast should I speak?
A little slower than feels natural, with a pause after each key point so it has time to land.
Feedback
How do I give useful peer feedback?
Be specific and kind. Name one thing that worked and one thing to try next time, and point to the moment in the video where you saw it.
How do I get the most from the feedback I receive?
Watch your video with the feedback beside you. Choose one or two things to work on before the next session and practice those.
