- Planning, Preparing, &
Presenting with Visual Aids
Do you really need it?
Does it enhance the meaning or impact of your
speech?
Start with a rough draft.
Be sure your visual aid is simple & big enough.
Do not simply have an outline of what you will say.
Limit the # of slides (1/minute).
Limit the animation!!
PowerPoint may supplement your demonstration, but
may not BE the demonstration!
Prepare in advance and PRACTICE with your visuals!
- Visual Aid Usage Guidelines
Check out environment and equipment.
Refer to it only when showing it and show it only
when you refer to it (use blank slides).
Use blank slides in your presentation.
Remember the power of the “B” key.
Do not read from the visual & do not talk to the
visual!
Point out specifics.
Do not distribute handouts during speech.
Rehearse with your visuals!
