The word communication comes from the Latin word 'communicare' which means to share.
Effective communication in a presentation includes clear speech, an adequate tone of voice, breathing and vocabulary which is appropriate for the audience you are addressing.
There are some things we need to know in advance about our audience:
- How much do they know about the subject?
- Why do they want to attend your presentation?
- What are the most relevant topics for them?
- What´s their average age, and their social, cultural and moral background?
Besides, you should also have information about the place where the presentation is going to take place:
- What is the size of the room?
- What resources are available to you?
- How much time do you have?
A good speaker uses language carefully which reveals to the audience his knowledge and confidence.
Avoid radical words such as 'always' and 'never'.
Avoid slang, offensive words and jargon.
How to end a presentation?
It´s polite to thank the audience for having attended it. You don´t need to announce the end of the presentation formally.
