Fundamentals of Oral Communication
Northeastern State University
Utilizing Visuals
The key word is VISUALS
• Not every speech needs PowerPoint
• Consider your topic... What fits?
• DO use PowerPoint for key concepts
such as images, graphs, videos...
• DO NOT write your speech in slides.
Be clear & simple
• Use large, easy to read fonts
• THIS ... not... This
• Watch your colors.
This works... This doesn’t
Important reminders:
• Make sure slides are in order
• Speak to your audience...
• Not to your PowerPoint
• Define jargon or acronyms
Carry a Parachute:
• Computers crash
• USB drives get left behind
• Have a Back-Up Plan
• Consider uploading to slideshare.net
