Presentational aids are...

Presentational aids are items other than the words of a speech that are used to
support the intent of the speaker. In particular, they can be visual aids, audio aids,
audiovisual aids or sensory aids.
For today im going to tell all of you about visual aids and audio aids which both of
this are really synonym to use among public speaker.
Why use presentational aids?
Whilst the words you use and the way that you say them are of central importance,
you can gain attention and engage the interest of your audience by using various
other devices.
Presentational aids should not just be thrown in, sprinkled like confetti at a wedding.
Their purpose and value should be first understood and then used appropriately to
enhance the audience's experience (and not just overwhelm them).

Let’s go through with the first one which is visual aids.

Visual aids is an item of illustrative matter, such as a film, slide, or model, designed to
supplement written or spoken information so that it can be understood more easily.
advantages
- Can increase the interest of a speaker’s information.
- Make the presentation less boring and fun.
- Give more understanding to the listener.
Disadvantages
Disadvantage: Design Issues
If a visual aid is not properly designed for its intended use and audience, it can lead
to a breakdown in communication.

Disadvantage: Distracts from the Message

A visual aid with the wrong information can cause a distraction and detract from the
message the image is supposed to convey. For example

Audio Aids
Audio-aids can be defined as models and devices that can be heard and give an
image of something, somebody and some situations. They include recorded
materials, radios, cassette players, cassettes and the like which are relatively
Advantages
- Inexpensive. All of the audio/voice technologies are relatively inexpensive.
- Easily accessible. Almost every home in the United States has a telephone. In
addition, most students have access to an audiotape player in their home or in
a car.
- Easy to use. Almost everyone is comfortable using a telephone and an audio
cassette. With voice technologies, there is no software to install and no
hardware to configure!
Disadvantages
- May require scheduling. Some of the voice technologies (such as
audioconferences) are synchronous, meaning that they must be scheduled at
a convenient time for the students and teacher.
- Not conducive to visual information. Many students find it hard to focus and
learn strictly through audio input. In addition, audio-only format restricts the
content that can be conveyed (abstract concepts are very difficult to convey
through audio).
- May be impersonal. With audio-only interactions, there is no eye contact and
no body language. Students may be "turned off" by a talking box.
