State five factors to consider while selecting a speech presentation aid

  

Answers


Faith
1.Consider a Prop or Model
A prop can be any inanimate or live object e.g a stone or a snake, that captures the audience’s attention and illustrates or emphasizes key points. A model is a three dimensional, scale-size representation of an object. When using a prop or model,
-Keep the prop or model hidden until you are ready to use it, in most cases.
-Make sure it is big enough for everyone to see (and read, if applicable).
-Practice your speech using the prop or model.

2.Create a Graph
A graph represents the relationship between variables. Four types of graphs that speakers use include line graphs, bar graphs, pie graphs, and pictograms.
When creating line and bar graphs,
-Label both axes appropriately.
-Start the numerical axis at zero.
-Compare only like variables.
-Put no more than two lines of data on one line graph.
-Assign a clear title to the graph. When creating pie graphs,
-Restrict the number of pie slices to a maximum of seven.
-Identify and accurately represent the values or percentages of each pie slice.
-Consider using color or background markings to distinguish the different slices of the pie.

3.Incorporate Audio and Video
Introducing an audio clip (a short recording of sounds, music, or speech) into a speech can add interest, illustrate ideas, and even bring humor to the mix. Video (including movie, television, and other recording instruments) can also be a powerful presentation aid that combines sight, sound, and movement.
When incorporating audio and video into your presentation:
-Cue the audio or videotape to the appropriate segment before the presentation.
-Alert audience members to what they will be viewing before you show the tape.
-Reiterate the main points of the audio or video clip once it is over.
-Check to see whether the audio or video material you are using is copyrighted, and that you are using it in a manner that is consistent with copyright laws.
