1. Firstly, figure out the one message you want audience members to take away with him.

Secondly, compose a one-sentence summary that links your subject and purpose to your
audience’s frame of reference. An example, “with cybercrime more common than ever, the
public needs to be smarter about using the web.”

2. -Arouse Interest: Share a story, passing around testimonial, asking a question

-Build credibility: Impress audience with your academic qualification, related work
experience, skills acquired
-Preview Message: Gives your listeners a preview of what’s ahead. “Here’s a serious
question: what would happen to you, your finances, your home and your family if an illness
or injury kept you out of work for three months or more?”

3. -Recap: Emphasize what you want the audience to do or think.

-Describe the next steps: explain who is responsible for doing what or any follow up matters
-End on a strong note: make your final remarks encouraging & memorable
An effective ending would be “Well, I guess that’s about all I’ve got.”

4. -Manuscript
The manuscript method is a form of speech delivery that involves speaking from text. With
this method, a speaker will write out her speech word for word and practice how she will
deliver the speech. A disadvantage of this method is a person may sound too practiced or
stiff. To avoid sounding rehearsed, use eye contact, facial expressions and vocal variety to
engage the audience. Use frequent glances at highlighted key points instead of reading the
speech word for word.
-Memorization
The memorization method is a form of speech delivery that involves fully memorizing a
speech, from start to finish, before delivering it. This method of delivery allows a speaker to
move around the stage or platform and maintain eye contact with the audience without
relying on a script or notes. For speakers who deliver their speeches by memorization, add
inflection to the voice and keep notes nearby to avoid forgetting an important key point.
-Impromptu
The impromptu speech is spur-of-the-moment, with little to no time to prepare for this type
of speech. For this method, you may be asked to give a few remarks, or share your thoughts
with the group. The important thing to remember with this type of speaking is to know your
main point, limit your thoughts to two to three ideas, and wrap it up with a conclusion. If
you can think well enough on your feet, your conclusion will connect to your opening
remarks or main idea. Impromptu speeches are best kept brief.
-Extemporaneous
The extemporaneous method is ideal for most speaking situations. While it requires a great
deal of preparation, it allows for great flexibility for the speaker, often delivering a much
more engaging speech. For this method, a speaker will organize a speech with notes or an
outline, and practice the delivery, but not word-for-word. A speaker may highlight key points
in the speech and memorize a few portions of the speech, but will also speak in a more
conversational tone. The extemporaneous method of delivery gives a speaker the flexibility
to deliver a speech in a natural manner while maintaining eye contact and engaging an
audience.
1. Keep it short and to the point

One of the most important things to remember is that PowerPoint is a tool to support your story.
Avoid putting the literal text on the screen. Instead, try and shorten your bullets and keep it to the
point. This causes your audience to focus on you instead of the slides on the screen.

2. Choose the right font

Try and pick a classic font instead of a creative one. Picking the wrong font can easily cause your text
to be unreadable for your audience. Besides that, if the computer you are presenting on does not
have the font you used installed, PowerPoint will replace it with a random one. Verdana, Calibri and
Helvetica, for example, are all safe choices. These fonts are available on all computers.

3. Size matters

Picking the right font size can be difficult. On the one hand your audience needs to be able to read
whatever you put on the screen. On the other hand you don’t want your text to dominate the space
on your slide. For headers the minimum is around 20pt, while for the body you have a minimum of
18pt. With these sizes you can be assured your text will be legible in every situation. This goes for
laptops, computers, tablets, TVs and beamers.

4. Visualize data as much as possible

Whenever your presentation contains a lot of data, it might be easier to communicate this data by
using visuals instead of just using text. Graphs might give you the results you are looking for.
PowerPoint offers a wide variety of ‘donut-graphs’, which are ideal for making comparisons. For
example, pick the donut-graph to show your percentages such as the percentage of culture and
ettiqutte in Malaysia in the middle of the graph. This way your audience immediately knows what
you mean.

5. Simplify your tables as much as possible

Tables are usually crammed with information and numbers. This causes the slide to look crowded
and chaotic. In this case it is important to visualize the tables as simple as possible. Delete
unnecessary outlines, colours and borders. ‘Keep it simple’ and ‘less is more’ are key phrases to take
in mind while designing tables of percentage of culture and ettiqutte in Malaysia.
