Making an Effective Oral Presentation (2)

5.0 MAKING EFFECTIVE ORAL PRESENTATION

How to delivering an effective oral presentation? Simply, we give it in three parts, there are before presentation, during the presentation and after presentation.

5.1 BEFORE PRESENTATION

This part known as preparation for an oral presentation. The preparation for oral presentation must have listing things to get a quality presentation.

Audience

As a speaker we must know about the audience before presentation especially about audience’s background because it will be comfortable when delivering the speech. The speaker also must know and think about their expatiations. It’s important to know about how their level of knowledge about the topic. Speaker will be known what are expected and unexpected question from audience. When knowing the question, it can prepare and answered smoothly.

Fact and Idea

Speaker must organize the fact and ideas then ensure it brought into the main body of the presentation until the conclusion. It must be referred or taken from establish sources like books, journals, researches or experiences and logical with situation. Speakers will be describing the point one by one and speak clearly to make audience understand. When the speaker get the ideas, he must analyze and structure it from the top to the bottom or what must describe first. Give the explanations about the points and it’s better if he can bring the example for each point. Make sure to memorize one or two research or good quote from popular person. It can make presentation delivered more powerful. Remember, give credit quotes to the source where they were been taken.

Writing The Speech

When discussing about presentation, people must know it’s not a reading. Write a few words or key points what we will be present. He also can draft the speech but must be train frequently so that the speech can be fluent but don’t bring it when gives a talk. Audience can be dropping the speaker personality and give a negative impression to him. Using the “cue card” can be helping and put the numbers for each card. Write in a small piece of paper is also a good idea.

Think Visual Aids

Applying a suitable aid give more benefits and also can help audience more understand and focus about the topic. It’s also keeping the presenter on the right track along the presentation or it’s become a guideline. Some points can clearly described and people know the truth for each point by showing an example. Presenter must think what the visual aid can help him during the presentation. He can use Overhead Projector, maps, charts, film clips or nowadays popular using the computer software like Microsoft PowerPoint. When using PowerPoint, some rules must be follow so that the audience can be interested during the presentation such as size of fonts, font type, background style, using the suitable colours and differencing the title and points with “bold” and “italic” style. The slides for points can be more interesting when adding pictures or videos. It’s can shows a true situation about the point and also give the advantages for the speaker.

Venue

Presenter must take a look to the venue early or a day before presentation. Room sized and setting where presenter will be standing in is so important while the audience can see the presenter and slides clearly. He also knows the audience must feel and sit comfortably during the presentation in the venue. The equipment must be checked and working perfectly like the lighting, the audio system and LCD Projector. Air conditioner or the temperature in the room is suitable and comfortable with the audience. If it not, presentation cannot be fluent and so many interruption during presentation, example some audiences in-out from the venue if the temperature too cool or warm.

Rehearsal

Practice can make perfect. Presenter must practice the speech in front of mirror or friends to give critics and respond where disadvantages can be upgraded. Allow a plenty of time before the event. Monitor the time when do the rehearsal. The time must suit with presentation and the slides are not too long or short. The slides must be checked and effective by presenter which is linked to the point or not. Try and practice speak clearly, slowly less but not too rush. Speaking too rush can make presentation very tough, to serious and may the audience doesn’t accepted and not get the point from the presentation. The presenter should practices the eye contact or body language with audience. Use the body language such as a body movement and position well. Don’t stand in front the screen when the projector is on. So here, rehearsal is important to ensure our presentation goes well and smooth.

Making an Effective Oral Presentation (1)

People give presentations in any ways in life. Today, presentation is important to show people how the job working and explain the people the job are doing. In academic, oral presentation is talking about research or assignment to show their achievement. The presentation can be oral (spoken), multimedia (using various media - visuals, audio, etc), PowerPoint presentations, short impromptu presentations, long planned presentations, educational or training sessions, lectures, and simply giving a talk on a subject to a group on a voluntary basis for pleasure,(www.bussinessball.com). So, what is oral presentation?

The word “oral” from oxford dictionary (2007) mean spoken or not written. While, “presentation” is a meeting at which something is shown or explained to a group of people (Oxford, 2007). Thomas Leech (2004) give presentation is the practice of showing and explaining the content of a topic to an audience or learner. Presentations and reports are ways of communicating ideas and information to a group. But unlike a report, a presentation carries the speaker's personality better and allows immediate interaction between all the participants. (Donald Clark-www.nwlink.com-1998).

Oral Presentation is a talk given to a group in which you present your views on an issue or topic based on your readings or research (University of South Australia). In website www.thefreedictionary.com defined oral presentation is delivering and address to public audience.

For the conclusion, the oral presentation is speech in the part of communication with somebody can describe or explain the ideas to audience who can understand more. It can be present with a technology especially Microsoft PowerPoint or others to improve understanding and make audiences clearly about the topic.

Speech Training

People who want to present something must train themselves. Dr. Carol Fleming – Specializing in Vocal Development and Communication Training listed training must be included voice improvement. It becomes verbally competent, fluent and gracious. It’s also included the breath, voice, intonation or others. Second, communication skills development. It’s developing a commanding presence. Skills can be improve highly with step by step development and trained by professional. Third, improve public speaking. People can speak with confidence and gain credibility. It’s help to more relaxing and enjoying while presentation. Last is developing your social skills in the workplace, that’s the secrets for getting promoted. This is how we can explain our research or work with job mate or friends and also how we communicate with them softly, clearly and friendly.

3.0 THE ORAL COMMUNICATION MODEL

3.1 Transactional Model of Communication

The oral presentation have link with transactional model of communication. So, the presentation is suitable with this model. Transactional communication model is depicts communicators as sending and receiving massages simultaneously. This model includes with communication elements is communicators, encode, decode and channel. (Maria Brignall-www.wisc-online.com-1999). In the other hands, the speaker and the listener are sending and receiving the massage. It can be a communicator as a sender as well as a receiver simultaneously. In the other word, speaker and listener can interact with the idea to increase the information or respond things. This can make the situation more alive during the presentation.

Skills and strategies in public speaking are so important. We need to know what are the strategies could do to deliver the ideas then reach to the audience. Skills must be studied and improved all the times to avoid one way communication or boring situation during the presentation. It is includes how to tackle the audience, interesting slides, relevant pictures and videos, humour, question between speakers and audience and etc.

4.0 AUDIENCE ANALYSIS

We need to analyze our audience. Why? It is because it can help our presentation more fluent and smoothly. Rahimah Yeop (INTAN, 2006) listed that audience analyzed about a number of audiences, age of audience, audience’s sex, audience’s race and the backgrounds. We should also analyze the level of their interest. Knowing the audiences can make the presenter do the early preparation for example the voices technique or the technical support such as Power Point slides. The age showing which the proper way can we talk during the presentation. The presentation can be control even we know the number of our audience. The speech should not go too far with touching the thing about gender. The presenter must be alert if the content of the presentations related on races, cultures and the backgrounds in order to that the speech do not touch the sensitivity of people .

MLM kaya atau menganiaya kawan...?

Mula-mula aku nak mintak maaf pada semua... aku bukan bertujuan untuk menjatuhkan atau menyokong atau mengaibkan sesiapa... sekadar menulis untuk melepaskan perasaan yang dah lama bersarang... aku tidak bermaksud "potong rezeki" kawan.. aku tetap percaya yang rezeki Allah tetap akan beri kepada hambaNya yang rajin berusaha selagi terdaya di bumi ini.

Sepanjang tahun ini, aku kerap didatangi oleh kawan2 yang dah lama tak jumpa ajak aku minum2 (ngeteh... kata orang jawa..!!) Dalam perjumpaan tu, ada beberapa orang yang aku memang lansung tak kenal, tapi aku wat do no je... Sambil mengukit cerita lama, kebanyakan mereka bercerita tentang MLM.. aku sebenarnya dah lama tak amik port pasal MLM... bila diorang dah start bukak cerita pasal satu perniagaan oleh satu syarikat MLM yang popular nih, berjela la penerangan diorang terhadap aku. Mula-mula diorg tunjukkan gambar diorg bersama deretan kereta-kereta besar yang sengaja disusun bersebelah-sebelah, ada yang bukan 1, sampai 4 pun ada.. paling cikai aku tengok pun Perdana V6... abis tunjukkan gambar kereta, diorg tunjukkan gambar beramai seolah-olah macam rombongan ke luar negara. HongKong, Taiwan, Jepun dan macam-macam lagi. Habis part tu, diorg tunjukkan plak bbrapa salinan cek yang mencecah ribuan ringgit... rupanya aku dah masuk dalam "kelas" penerangan syarikat MLM diorang... dengan hanya makan sebakul keropok lekor sejuk ditambah dengan air kopi Radix "O", dalam tempoh 2 jam aku selesai mendengar hujahan mereka tanpa aku merespon apa-apa... Dalam tahun nih, aku dah dengar 3 kali cerita yang sama... dan dari tahun lepas, aku jumpa lagi makcik pakcik aku yang join syarikat nih, tapi tak kaya macam diorg pun... menanggung sengsara lagi ada...

Macam aku cakap awal2 tadi, aku bukan nak mengutuk atau nak musnahkan rezeki kawan2.. tidak sama sekali... diorg dah berjaya dalam hidup kerana jalan yang mereka jumpa dan usaha sendiri, maka diorg patut dapat hasilnya. Cuma bila kawan2 ajak aku join sama, aku fikir banyak kali...

pertama yang aku nampak, mereka mengejar KAKITANGAN AWAM kerana golongan ini mudah nak buat loan samada peribadi atau sebagainya untuk start program. Pinjaman plak oleh memakan masa lama sehingga 10 tahun bayaran balik dan bayangkan sekiranya seorang kakitangan awam meminjam bank sebanyak RM20,000....

kedua, sepanjang "kelas" itu, setelah seseorg itu join, mereka akan dapat barang. Tapi, mereka bersungguh-sungguh mengatakan "kita tak perlu jual barang.." "habih tu...?" "barang yang ko dapat nanti ko simpan.. apa yang ko perlu buat, lepas join, ko lepak2, ko call kawan2 sambil minum2, ko panggil kitorg, kitorg datang cerita mcm ko skang nih.. kita nak kasi peluang pada kawan2 kita... itu jer.. Ko dapatkan 3 orang yang sama starting join mcm ko nih, pada masa 3 bulan, kalo org tu bawak lagi kawan2 dia, cukup downline bawah ko, ko akan dapat maintain mcm kitorg dapat nih..." "tapi kalo ko nak jual barang pun boleh... samada ko guna sendri atau ko jual kat sedara mara ko... bayar bulan2... ko bleh tampung bayaran balik pinjaman ko tu...."

Aku tak terus join.. (sampai skang pun aku tak join..) aku ada pelbagai persoalan dalam hati.. aku nak berniaga, aku injam duit dari bank, dapat barang, tapi aku tak jual barang tu... aku carik orang pastu aku suruh orang tu pinjam kat bank jumlah yang sama aku pinjam.. ibaratnya: aku nak jual gula. Aku pinjam kat bapak aku RM100 jualkan seguni gula bapak aku tapi aku tak jual gula. Aku ajak 8 orang kawan yang sama nak jual gula dan buat benda yang sama. akhirnya bapak aku bagi upah kat aku sebab bawak orang jualkan gula bapak aku. Gula seguni tadi aku simpan dalam stor.

Lagi, akulah orang yang menyebabkan downline aku tu nanti meminjam. Sepatutnya modal berniaga barang, tapi modal aku dapat untuk membuat orang meminjam...

aku surfing kat intenet, dapatlah nih :

1. Sesuatu perniagaan yang dijalankan itu sekiranya ada unsur-unsur perjudian, penipuan,
penindasan dan lain-lain ia adalah haram dari segi syarak.
