Visual aids are a great way to keep your audience's attention and help the audience retain information from your speech. Be sure to avoid the common pitfalls when using visual aids in your speech.
- Make sure your visual aid is large enough to be seen by the entire audience.
- Use fonts that are readable and avoid using too many fonts.
- Avoid using the color yellow. It is too difficult to be seen.
- Always practice using your visual aids prior to giving the presentation.
- When using multimedia- i.e., PowerPoint- ALWAYS set-up and go through your slides before the audience arrives. Have a back-up plan in case of an unforeseen technological problem and you are unable to use your multimedia visual aid.
