What Makes an Audio Visual Presentation Good?

Today, audio visual presentation is widely used in schools and companies. It engages the audience and makes learning more effective. So what makes an audio visual presentation good? In this article, let me share with you some tips to prepare a good presentation:

1. Have the right audio visual (AV) equipments. AV equipments like staging and lightings will aid your presentation and make it more impactful. You do not need to buy these equipments as you can easily rent them from AV rental companies. One thing to note is that you must make sure that it is suitable for the audience size.

2. Use a professional projector and screen for clearer projection. If you project onto a wall, it will distract your audience and make them lose interest easily. By using a proper screen and projector, it will make you look more professional and increase the impact of your presentation.

3. Always plan. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Planning the details weeks before the actual event is crucial if you want to deliver a good presentation.

4. Practice your presentation. Read through the subject material and rehearse your presentation. This will make you feel more confident when you talk in front of your audience on the actual day.

5. Do not present for too long. The attention span of your audience is limited. Your presentation should not last more than 30 minutes each session. If you are running a 2 hour workshop, make sure that you give your audience a break every 30 minutes.

6. Keep everything simple and organize your technology. On the actual day, you should concentrate on your presentation and not dealing with technology. It will distract you and your audience.

7. Take a bottle of water with you. Your throat can get very dry when you talk for long hours. A bottle of water will come in handy.

8. Dress well. First impression is very important. If you dress well, you will look more professional in the eyes of your audience. Also, you should wear comfortable shoes as you will move around frequently.

If you do not have the right equipments, you can either buy or rent them from audio visual companies. My suggestion to you is that if you don’t present often, renting the equipments will be a better option. You can find a list of audio visual companies on Google or through your local directory like Yellow Pages.
