Everyone in the
world have their own way when talking whether it is fluent or stutter. Some
people can control their nervousness when they have to talk in front of many
people but majority of them out there fail to do it. They will simply sweating
and shivering before they even begin to talk. The worst thing is
some of them will act like a crybaby.There are a few ways to bring our
presentation skills to a higher stage. Here are some steps to improve our
presentation skills.
First
and foremost, you have to take a deep breath and keep calm. Have faith and high
confidence level on how you want to deliver your presentation. It takes time
and patience to enhance your skills as long as you try your hardest. Miracle is
the other name of hard work.
Second,
we should have a good body language with the audience so that we can attract
them to watch our presentation. Make an eye contact with audience and put a big
smile on your face to show them that you are not afraid. Even it is such a
small thing, this way will help you to boost your confidence level up even
though you are not that confident. It will simply ease your mind and calm your
heart and make people to pay their attention to what you are presenting. If
these still make you nervous, make an eye contact with just one person at a
time. You also must keep your head up and your shoulder straight. Don't play
with your hands or else you will look even more nervous. Use your hands gesture
to express your point .
Beside
of that, you must be able to laugh at yourself. If you made a little mistake, burst
the laugh off and the crowd will laugh along with you. Do a multiple practice.
This can help you to speak fluently but don't memorize it. Just pick up an
important point to be delivered during your presentation. Memorizing word by
word is obviously hard because if there is any interruption such as sudden
question, we can simply lose our next word. This will make us more nervous or
in the other word is " our mind is
blank".Make a cue card for you to hold when presenting your speech.It will
help you to utter the word smoothly and
conviniently. Always practice in front of the mirror, even in the shower while
you taking a bath and in front of your friends or your family members. 
Last
but not least, you must sleep early at night before the presentation, so that it will be easier for you to prepare yourself
on the next morning. Drink a lot of
plain water a week before your presentation so that your voice projection will
be great during the presentation. Arrive at the presentation hall early so that
you can walk around the stage and make yourself comfortable with it. Try to do
a little bit practice on the stage even though there is no audience yet .It is
one of the way for you to warm up your
vocal chord before the real presentation start.
In conclusion, in order to develop our
presentation skills, we must work harder and just have faith to Him. As a Muslim, we should gather our hand
and pray till the last and don’t forget to say Bismillah before we start our
work to get His blessing.
