What is an Oral Presentation

Oral Presentation Skills Verbal Non-Verbal Breathing Volume Pacing Movement Pronunciation Intonation

Pronunciation Be sure to enunciate- pronounce the word clearly Practice difficult words Confidence Understand mouth movements (articulators, voiced/unvoiced) Key words needs to be clear, smooth, and understandable Identify words that you are unsure of how to pronunciation that the speaker pronounces clearly. Which part of the word is difficult for you? Are you making the correct mouth movements

Intonation The rise and fall of your voice as your speak Avoid being monotone! Emphasis within a word Ex) Computer vs. Computer vs. Computer Ex) Bathroom vs. Bathroom Emphasis within a sentence How are you? vs. How are you? ComPUter Cumpewter compuTER Circle the words that have emphasis in sentence Bolded words- say which syllable is emphasized

Breathing When you take a breath Quiet (do not draw attention) Usually at the end of a sentence If you breathe during a sentence make sure it is at the right spot Commas ( , ) Hyphens/Dash ( -- ) Semicolon ( ; ) Make a mark every time a breath is taken- including within a sentence Is the breath distracting?

Volume Loudness of your voice Key word Emphasize important points Engage the audience with different volume Exaggerating points Dramatic Effect Circle the words or phrases where the speaker uses a different volume This may be LOUD or quiet

Pacing Talking pace Appropriate pauses Too fast vs. too slow Be sure you have time to enunciate with the correct intonation Appropriate pauses Asking if there are any questions Engage to break up how often you speak and get information Mark a pause Mark when she talks slowly and mark when she increases the pace

Movement Body movement Walking or Changing Position Facial expressions Hands, head, shoulders, legs Walking or Changing Position Facial expressions Emotion Interest Watch for: Hands in pockets Arms crossed on directly at your side Fidgety Know the room set-up How does the presenter move. Take note of all the different movements Notice facial expressions, can you notice when she emphasizes something or wants to portray a certain emotion

Let’s try out these skills What we are doing: Divide into Groups, with each group taking one skill. Watch the video once to understand the context and know what you are looking for. Follow the directions on your sheet and begin to look for how your skill is applied in the speech On the third time through, make sure you have made the appropriate marks and filled-in areas you missed. In your group, discuss your final answers to share with the class. How to Make Stress your Friend

What do we notice?

Making Good Transitions Smooth transition from sentence to sentence Appropriate pauses Know what comes next Make sure your notes flow Can you use reference cards? Practice, practice, practice! In front of a mirror paying attention to other skills With your group too! Avoid filler words Uh, um, & hmm Reference cards: key points that spark interest Why Identify when the speaker pauses to change a thought Does this transition feel “smooth”…why? Which other components affect tranitioning

Developing your Presentation Ask for help! Develop key ideas Arranging your Presentation (Introduction, Context, Conclusion) Support and Evidence Summary of Ideas Ask if there are questions Visual Aids- i.e. PowerPoint, Prezi (prezi.com) Prepare notes and rehearse practicing verbal and non-verbal skills Try and engage your audience Enjoy yourself! Plan time to lower your stress levels
