Practice With a Test Audience

After rehearsing on your own, you may want to try running your presentation with a test audience. The audience could be classmates, friends or family. You can test with one person or a few people.

Try to set up your test to simulate the real presentation. Ideally you can use the same video conferencing software. Try to run the full presentation from start to finish with visuals and sound.

• Could you hear me clearly throughout the presentation?

• Was I speaking too fast/too slow?

• Could you see all visuals clearly? Did you have enough time to read words on the screen?

• Was there anything that you found confusing or unclear?

• Did you find the amount of material was enough, too much, not enough?

• Was there enough time for questions?
