A good impression during a presentation

• Don't read the first few paragraphs of your presentation. Establish yourself as expert by speaking with authority from the word go.
• Maintain good eye contact with the members of your audience. Pick out one or two members and re-establish eye contact with them throughout your presentation.
• Show emotion, but remain in control. It’s an artistic balance, not too loud, not too soft, not too bold, and not too meek.
• Don't use filler words like;”um”, “er”, “you know”,” like”, between your sentences. It gives you less credibility with your audience.
• Act natural throughout your presentation, and have fun.
