audience to listen to them, most people will probably say that they still need to see some visuals in

order to become interested in what presenters are trying to say.

Have you ever tried talking in front of an audience and realizing that nobody is listening to a word that

you are saying? Sadly, a lot of people have already experienced this and instead of taking it as a

challenge to improve their presentation, what happens is they become scared to try it again. They would

rather steer clear from giving presentations again. In school, this is already common because people

would have to give reports to get good grades but when you are using PowerPoint for other things such

as work or even to some seminars or events, having no audience can be very hard for a speaker.

to survive, and then make sure that you will create a simple PowerPoint presentation.

What can you do to make your PowerPoint effective?

To make your presentation effective, make sure that you use pictures that are high in quality so that in

case you would be projecting your PowerPoint in big screen, the pictures can still be seen clearly. It is

also advisable to use colors that a lot of people find pleasing to their eyes. You know that you cannot

make everyone happy when you use neon colors so choose your colors wisely. The same goes for the

font and font size to.

The most important thing that you have to focus on is yourself. Remember that in all the PowerPoint

timeline that you may show, the best thing that you have to do is show that you know what you are

talking about. If you are knowledgeable about what you are presenting, people will immediately feel it.

Even if there are questions that may seem a bit hard, you will be able to answer those clearly provided

that you have done proper research.
