◆ 1: Firmly assemble the story that becomes the liver of the presentation

ByEric Peacock

According to Mr. Anderson, the presentation says the audience will be taking a trip for a few minutes, according to Mr. Anderson, it is the most difficult to create a presentation to decide the start and end points. To decide the right starting point for a presentation, you must firmly consider what the audience knows about the presentation topic and how interested it is.

An advanced presenter will quickly explain why the presentation topic is so important in the intro section. Mistakes that many people tend to commit overflow too many things to the content of the story. Due to overloading, the audience will have difficulty understanding the presentation as the talk becomes abstract because there is no time to talk about key points that you must absolutely talk about. To do that, when explaining the key points of the topic, explain it using concrete examples. By using the example, the story can be kept tight, the time can be shortened, and even if it is a topic that the audience does not know, it will be easy to understand by analogy with familiar things. What Mr. Anderson advises the presenter first is not trying to cover a wide range of topics, but rather to narrow down to a few and explain it in more detail and deeper.

Also, making story a story is also an important element that attracts attention of the audience. An advanced presenter often first presents the problem by raising a problem and then proceeding the presentation with a story exploring the solution method.

◆ 2: Plan firmly how to tell the audience

ByDawn Allynn

After firmly assembling the conversation that makes the presentation, the next thing to consider is how to talk to the audience. As a way to do that, I will read all the contents to talk about in the memo. "" List only the main points of the contents to talk about, write it down in the memo "," memorize all the contents of the story and make a presentation without seeing anything " there is.

Mr. Anderson's advice,Absolutely not to read the memoThat. The audience will soon notice that the presenter is reading the notes and feel a great distance between them and the presenter.

Mr. Anderson recommended, and the method used by many of the people who made a wonderful presentation at TED,Remember all the contents of the storyabout. In this worst case, in the worst case, you can forget about what to talk next in the middle of a presentation, stop talking, and have an awkward atmosphere in the venue. The only way to prevent that from happening is to practice and rehearse a lot until you can speak naturally like flowing.

Another thing to be aware of is to spontaneously speak the way you speak as if you are talking. There is no need to talk about instructional or passionate more than necessary, it is important to be mindful that you are yourself.

◆ 3: Think about the behavior at the stage

BySpeshul Ted

For experienced presenters, the most difficult thing is to speak on the stage where many people look at. According to Mr. Anderson who saw rehearsals of numerous presentations, the behavior that you do when you are tense such as moving around the stage to the right or left and alternately placing the center of gravity on the right foot and the left foot loses interest from the audience to the presentation It is said that the performance on the stage will rise dramatically if you do not move the body even if you are nervous because it will fit. Moreover, it is still better if it can be done naturally.

Perhaps the most important point on the behavior on the stage is to firmly make eye contact with the audience. I will try to find five or six spectators who seem to be happy and talk while looking at their eyes.

Another difficult problem for presenters who do not have much experience is "tension"is. It seems that each person tends to relieve tension, but Mr. Anderson says it is a good way to take a deep breath before heading to the stage. Although it is rather simple as a way to relieve tension, it is said that high effect can be expected.

◆ 4:MultimediaUse of

ByGullevek

Powerpoint is used most frequently in presentations, but many of the people who made a wonderful presentation with TED did not use Power Point and did not need it. If you can make a presentation topic stand out, you should use images and illustrations, but if not, you should not rely on visuals as much as possible.

However, for artists, architects, photographers and designers, it is a great opportunity to show pace with their work by using visual materials to pace the talk.

A movie is just as effective as an image, but it is noteworthy that it is better to keep it as short as possible if you show it to the audience. It should be borne in mind that if the movie used in the presentation is more than one minute, there is a risk of detracting from the audience's interest. Also, you should not use promotional movies from the presenter or movies with music. The worst case is the use of a movie that contains an interview of the presenter, and do not forget that nobody in the audience wants to see the ego etc of the presenter.

Whether the presentation works or not depends on the style of talking and not using cool multimedia but "Quality of ideas"Story nature"Passion on presenter topicsAnderson said that it is important for the presenter to have good materials without fail. What Mr. Anderson told the presenter to remember is that "Presentation that is fresh and contains things that have never been seen by anyone remains in the memory of the audience." It is worst that the presentation will be formatted, so it is not necessary to manage all the methods that Mr. Anderson recommends this time, and it is becoming the most important to express topics yourself.
