Thinking ahead

Something that could be more visual help could be a brochure that sells what your product is and goes in more depth than a poster about what you are trying to accomplish. I also would like to present a video, not a psa, but something that shows the different reactions that are gotten out of people to prove my research further.

Ideas that could be useful when presenting are:

1. Prepare your introduction 
• One of the most overlooked parts of the presentation experience is the set of words that introduces you before you stand up to speak. A good introduction raises an audience's interest in the presentation and establishes your authority to give the talk in the first place.
2. Visual mnemonics 
• Try using graphic elements to trigger your memory about key points. When you use an image on a slide as a visual mnemonic, you can make your ideas, as well as the presentation, memorable.
3.  Vocal variety
•   How to add interest to your speaking style, how to sound more confident, how to add ingredients such as articulation, inflection, rate, pauses, changes in inflection and volume, and so on.
  
4. Body Language
• This covers areas such as effective gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, cultural gestures, use of passion, visualization, descriptive gestures, and others. 
5.  Know the needs of the audience
• Knowing the needs of your audience can help you tailor your presentation to target their interests and explain how your company can be of use in their specific situation.

I think really great advice is to make sure you have vocal variety. No one wants to listen to a boring person no matter the subject. If you do not seem as if you are confident they will not believe you  whether or not it was completely reliable information. Your voice is the aspect that shows them the type of person you are.
