In modern English, Presentations tend to be much less formal than they were even twenty years ago.
Most audience these days prefer a relatively informal approach. However, there is a certain structure to
the opening of a Presentation that you should observe.
1. Get people's attention
2. Welcome them
3. Introduce yourself
4. State the purpose of your presentation
5. State how you want to deal with questions
Get people's attention
· If I could have everybody's attention.
· If we can start.
· Perhaps we should begin?
· Let's get started.
Welcome them
· Welcome to Microsoft.
· Thank you for coming today.
· Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
· On behalf of Intel, I'd like to welcome you.
Introduce yourself
· My name's Jane Shaw. I'm responsible for travel arrangements.
· For those of you who don't know me, my name's Tom Stotter.
· As you know, I'm in charge of public relations.
· I'm the new Marketing Manager.
State the purpose of your presentation
· This morning I'd like to present our new processor.
· Today I'd like to discuss our failures in the Japanese market and suggest a new approach.
· This afternoon, I'd like to report on my study into the German market.
· What I want to do this morning is to talk to you about our new mobile telephone system.
· What I want to do is to tell you about our successes and failures in introducing new working
patterns.
· What I want to do is to show you how we've made our first successful steps in the potentially
huge Chinese market.
State how you want to deal with questions.
· If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them as we go along.
· Feel free to ask any questions.
· Perhaps we can leave any questions you have until the end?
· There will be plenty of time for questions at the end.
Of course, these are only suggestions and other language is possible. Even within this limited group of
phrases, just choose a few you feel comfortable with and learn and use those.
Thank you.

I would like to add the tips of starting a presentation.
1.Quotation
Starting a presentation with a quote is simple, yet can be very effective. The quotation should of course be relevant to your topic, and preferably from a well-known person familiar to the audience.
2.Facts and figures
Giving some relevant facts or statistics can sometimes be a good way when starting a presentation. But don’t overwhelm your audience. Keep the facts simple, accurate and to the point. Contrasting facts often have the biggest impact.
3.Use physical presentation aids
It is a things people can hold and feel.For example in An Old Bag Speech, you can past around your item like a bracelet to your audience so that they can take a look and feel your item. This technique makes your presentation more memorable.

Giving speech is not easy like we thought. Before starting a speech we must well prepare, so we do not lose our words. These is a tips I want to share with you all to improve our Public Speech.
1.Be prepared and practice
Part of being nervous during an oral or presentation is due to the fact that you feel like you will forget critical pieces of information or that you will get up front of everyone and forget everything. Practice, over and over, until you are able to do your presentation with the minimal amount of mistake. Practice in front of different people. For example lectures,room mates, class mates and etc.
2. Pick a topic that interests you
Pick a topic that you know about so that you will be able to inject a little charisma into your speech. When questions come around at the end, you will be more equipped to answer.
3. Don’t leave the audience out
When the audience is pulled into your speech, or is forced to interact with you while you are giving your speech, their curiosity and attention will be on you. When you do not interact with the audience, you are giving them a huge opportunity to daydream, doze off and not listen. Why spend all that time on a speech to have your audience fall asleep?
4. Know your audience
Know who you will be speaking to and tailor your speech accordingly. If you are talking to medical students you can use medical terms more liberally than if you were talking to sociology majors.
5. Make it simple to understand
Not everyone will understand what you are saying and not everyone is interested in what you are saying. Especially when the topic is difficult to start with. Even when you define difficult terms they may not keep up. No one cares about how smart you sound. Losing your audience is not ideal either, which is inevitable if they don’t understand. If you have to use complicated terms, complement them with an easy to understand example of what you mean.
6. Complement your speech with visual aids
Use power point slides or projectors. Illustrate your examples and put definitions of difficult concepts on simple slides. Some people learn better visually.
7. Dress properly
Do not dress like you are staying in for the day, i.e. sweat pants?Dress like you mean it and are interested in what you are doing. Dress like you are taking this seriously. What you wear says something about you and people take those who dress seriously, more seriously and think they are more competent.
8. Keep your audience hanging and thinking
Close your speech by leaving your audience thinking. This will perpetuate your speech and cultivate curiosity in others. It will also leave you and your speech more memorable.
I hope within all these tips I mention above, it will help us in our Public Speeh.
Thank You.

Thank you for your tips on starting a presentation.
I would like to add some extra information on how to prepare yourself before you can make a presentation.
1.First,be at the venue you will make your speech and if possible,find out what you need to know about the venue.For example:
-Look at the speaking area
-Do the audio/video check(if present)
-Make some rehearsal(suitable yourself)
2.Meet your audience.
-Mingle with your audience and try to make good rapport before you begin your speech.
-Ask them questions and listen to the their answers.Take some point.
-Don`t let your ego interfere.Act normal and don`t show like you know everything.
-Be interested and genuine,so that the audience will love you more,and you yourself will be more positive in your talk.
3.Watch,listen and participate in the event agenda.Before your turn,try to listen to other speaker.
-Does their point overlap yours,and if so,how can you change your speech?
-What themes or trends are present at the event?For example,if most of the speakers are making humor of recent agenda such as a politician of a country felt while his speech,so you can relate it with your speech.Maybe you can make a humor of it to attract the audience.
-What is the mood of the audience?If it is low,you can make some humorous things so that their mood will rise.
Study the venue, meet your audience, and participate in the agenda. These three activities will reduce your nervousness and improve your performance much more than any last-minute cramming.
I hope these tips will help you.
Thank you.

Thanks for the tips. It's so valuable to me.
I would like to add other tips.
1. Body language is important. Standing, walking or moving about with appropriate hand gesture or facial expression is preferred to sitting down or standing still with head down and reading from a prepared speech. Use audio-visual aids or props for enhancement if appropriate and necessary. Master the use of presentation software such as PowerPoint well before your presentation. Do not over-dazzle your audience with excessive use of animation, sound clips, or gaudy colors which are inappropriate for your topic. Do not torture your audience by putting a lengthy document in tiny print on an overhead and reading it out to them.
2. Speak with conviction as if you really believe in what you are saying. Persuade your audience effectively. The material you present orally should have the same ingredients as that which are required for a written research paper, i.e. a logical progression from INTRODUCTION (Thesis statement) to BODY (strong supporting arguments, accurate and up-to-date information) to CONCLUSION (re-state thesis, summary, and logical conclusion).
3. Do not read from notes for any extended length of time although it is quite acceptable to glance at your notes infrequently. Speak loudly and clearly. Sound confident. Do not mumble. If you made an error, correct it, and continue. No need to make excuses or apologize profusely.
4. Maintain sincere eye contact with your audience. Use the 3-second method, e.g. look straight into the eyes of a person in the audience for 3 seconds at a time. Have direct eye contact with a number of people in the audience, and every now and then glance at the whole audience while speaking. Use your eye contact to make everyone in your audience feel involved.
5. Speak to your audience, listen to their questions, respond to their reactions, adjust and adapt. If what you have prepared is obviously not getting across to your audience, change your strategy mid-stream if you are well prepared to do so. Remember that communication is the key to a successful presentation. If you are short of time, know what can be safely left out. If you have extra time, know what could be effectively added. Always be prepared for the unexpected.
6. Pause. Allow yourself and your audience a little time to reflect and think. Don't race through your presentation and leave your audience, as well as yourself, feeling out of breath.
7. Add humor whenever appropriate and possible. Keep audience interested throughout your entire presentation. Remember that an interesting speech makes time fly, but a boring speech is always too long to endure even if the presentation time is the same.
That's all for my tips.
Thank you.

I want to add from what I learn in the class how to starting a speech..
1) Give the speech a great intro question.
- Ask the audience a question that really make them thinking, feel attractive and they don't even know the question is something so important.
2} Use voice projector.
- When start give a speech, you can attract the audience by increase your voice's tone. You can ask them also by using voice projector. The audience will get attract because they will think your speech is something important. Also,in the audience they have old people, by using voice projector you can make your speech reach their drum's ears.
3) Use body language.
- Body language is something very important in your speech even when to start a speech. If you just standing there and stand like a statue, how you want to attract people to listen to your speech? When start a speech, using your body language will attract the audience. You can swing your hand, your arm, giggle your head, raise your arm, touch the audience's shoulder, smile to them, move from the side to the other side, jump, noddle and even kicking.
4) Make a joke, singing, dancing and acting
- Start your speech with all of the above and you will find by the audience so attractive and you get your chance to they sit there till your ending. But make sure your joke, singing, dancing and acting related to your speech because if don't they will just listen half to your speech or maybe a little.
5) Use additional tools.
- You can show your audience the pictures, video or something that related with your speech. You also can use LCD and projector to attract the audience because we are in the era of technology. You must remember to relate the tools with speech.
6) Use eye contact.
- Eye contact also very important in your speech. Use your eye contact to attract with the people. Don't be shy to make an eye contact. If you want to make them listen to your speech, let them get involve by using it. Make sure you don't make eye contact very long to one person because they will feel uncomfortable.
7) Use facts.
- Starting your speech with facts also can attract people. Facts is something that people cannot fight the truth of the story. Make sure your facts fit with the audience and relate with your speech.
8) Be confident.
- When give a speech you must be confident. If you can't, you can't get the attention. Your speech will run like a car that finish it fuels. Your speech will get stuck and stuck. Your voice also slow and your speech will run the tempo. You don't have body language. So, be confident to start a speech so your speech will like a speech of Barrack Obama,the president of U.S.
These are what i have learn in my class so i can share with you all to be a great speaker.
To give a speech make sure you have the great intro so the audience will attract from beginning to the end.

THIS SOME TIPS TO START A SPEECH DO'S AND DON'TS
Here are some tips to help you get through the first few moments of your speech:
1)Do Memorize your First Sentence:
-For the first 10 seconds or so of any speech your mind is doing its best to fight off an anxiety attack. It’s not the time to be creative. Write out your first sentence or two. And memorize it. (By the time you’ve made it through those first daunting moments, your mind will begin to function again.)
2)Don't Start with a Joke:
-Unless you’re a gifted comic, the chances of getting an audience to laugh at a joke right at the start are miniscule. Why invite disaster? Making some self-deprecating, humorous remark, on the other hand, is a great way to begin. (You can, if appropriate, tell a joke later in your presentation, after the audience has warmed up to you.)
3)Don't Waste Time with Pleasantries:
-Winston Churchill called opening pleasantries “banalities.” Don’t tell the audience how happy you are to be speaking to them. Don’t tell them what a great group of people they are. Don’t acknowledge the dignitaries in the audience. It all sounds like so much hooey. (You can make similar comments later in your speech when they’ll sound more sincere.)
4) Do Jump Right In:
-Tell a story. Make a startling assertion. Ask a provocative question. Cite a brief quote or outrageous statistic. Whatever you do, just do it. Don’t introduce your introduction.
5) Don't Apologize:
-“I’m sorry I didn’t have more time to prepare.” “Please excuse me, I’m not a very good speaker.” “I hope you’ll overlook my nervousness.” Apologies are either an insult to the audience or an invitation not to be taken seriously. Don’t put yourself and your insecurities up front. Focus instead on the audience and on your message.

I agree with the opening of presentation that you mentioned above. i would like to give my opinion about that.
1)Get people's attention.
~To get people's attention, we need to make sure that the audience are ready to listen the speech.
~By using intonation or voice projection, this is the ways of getting audience attention.
~By asking them some question for that topic. For example, topic: punctuality, ask them whether they want to be a person who know how to spent their time wisely or not.
Maybe this will get audience attention.
2)Welcome them
~Thanks to them because they are enjoy listening to the speech.
~Say that you are really appreciate their willing to listen to the speech.
3)Introduce yourself
~Before you start to give a speech, you should introduce yourself first to make sure that the audience know who you are.
~If you have any position in job, just tell them.
4)State the purpose of presentation
~You should let the audience know the purpose of your speech.
~Through this will make they know and follow your speech.
~Maybe you can relate the purpose with the audience around you by showing an example.
All of the above are my opinion for having such a great speech to audience.
Thank you.

I totally agreed that an informal presentation/speeches are highly acceptable than a formal speech.
For this, i would share the reasons to based on my opinion, to support this. There are two reasons for this, spontaneous and excitement.
Spontaneous
-Usually, in an informal speech, the speech is make up based on the presenter creativity. The better the presenter creativity, the better the presentation is. Spontaneous is crucial in a good presentation. A presenter could not just rely on supported speech create for them before hand before they begin their presentation. A presenter should share their past experiences spontaneously with their audience in order to attract them to listen the to Presentation towards the end. In an informal Presentation, a presenter usually tend to make up jokes and tell their great stories to share with the audience. Some jokes and story could make them laugh and listen with no eye blinking.
A formal speech could be very dull and boring. A formal speech usually based on facts and the presenter usually afraid to change the text speech provided, because of the fear that it would be out of topic discussed.
Excitement
In an informal speech, Presenter usually have the power to create excitement to their speech. Excitement in a presentation gets audience to enjoy and move along with every transition past in a presentation. A good presentation should create excitement to let audience feel that every story told by the presenter are reachable to the heart of every audiences. Excitement is very crucial method in a persuasive speech. In order to get supports from audience, the presenter should create excitement that will get them thinking that every details and fact presented are true. This will excite them to share and agreed with the presenter thoughts.
This is two reason why i think that an informal presentation is more acceptable rather than a formal speech.

Assalamualaikum and thank you for the post that you've posted few days before. Here i would like to share with you some other points that are related to your post.
Before this i've been watching a presentation from someone and also giving a presentation to someone and for me it's a bigger fear than everything. So here are a few things that we can consider before starting a presentation.
Firstly, we should not abuse our visuals. Usually we use posters,charts or Power Point presentation. Whatever it might be, we should keep them simple and don't put too many words on them. So that the audience will not read too much on our slides, they prefer to listen to what we present.
Second is we should look at the audience. If we ever wondered where we should be looking at when presenting and the answer is in front of us. But don't just looking out at one person instead try to make an eye contact with some other people in the class.
Third is we should make the audience laugh. Although we want to educate the audience, we need to make them laugh as well. In real life, it keeps the audience alert and they'll learn more from us than someone who just educates.
Last but not least is we should show some movement. We probably know that we need to show some movement when speaking but naturally we may forget to do so. We must make sure that we show some gestures or pace around a bit when we giving a presentation.
So, that's all from me and if i've some other tips i would to share again. Hope it will help us as a student to improve our presentation. Thank you.

Thank you for your tips on starting a presentation above.
Here are some presentation tips to make our presentation fly.
PRESENTATION HINTS AND TIPS..
1.Write it down
Write down your speech, but try not to read from it. If you have written it down - if you dry up, you will beable to pick it back up again.
2.Put it on tape
When you practice your presentation, do it with a tape recorder or with a video recorder and then play it back to find out which bits sound weak.
3.Put it on tape
When you speak -try to speak with passion and enthusiasm. If you speak passionately it will make up for many other shortcomings.
4.Use pauses
Pause - the power of pausing in a presentation can be very profound. It will also give you a chance to catch your breath.
5.Don't leave it to the last minute
Don't leave it to the very last minute to work on your presentation. When you know you have to give a presentation - make sure that you leave yourself real time to present - and this is more than half a day the night before. You will be standing up in front of a lot of people - you want to to go well. Plan at least 8 hours over the week before.
6.Prepare the room in advance
Make sure that you have spent time in the presentation room before your presentation. get to know the room and run through your slides beforehand to ensure that everything is working smoothly.
Always leave handouts.
You have gone to a lot of effort to produce your presentation. Leaving handouts will reinforce your messages, and will help them to remember your presentation when they look at them again. Always include your contact details so that the audience can contact you.
7.Memorize your speech.
Do not read from your notes, unless you have frozen or not prepared. It will sound flat and stilted. If you have learnt your speech it will sound natural and you will even have the chance to ad lib, if the opportunity arises.
If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.
This is one of the biggest mistakes I see. People think that they can "wing it", but in reality those who appear to be "winging it" are often very well prepared. Every one of Frankie Howard's muses such as "ooh, now where was I?" was in the script and well rehearsed.
It takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
I hope these presentation tips give you some inspiration.
Thank you..

Thank you for your tips on starting a presentation.
I would like to share the information about starting a presentation.
Firstly, what is the presentation is about?
You could start with an evocative image immediately interact to audience and get attention. This is a fresh way a living presentation and not starting with the usual introduction stuff.
The most important part of the presentation and serves two main purposes :
1. to act as an attention grabber for the audience
2. to let your elevated level of adrenaline and testosterone racing through your blood stream settle down, so that you can relax into your presentation.
This may well happen while the audience finding their seats and wondering what is going to happen next. There is no right or wrong attention grabber, but here there are some option :
1. a funny story.
2. a video clip, but make sure the video is less than 60 seconds.
3. a cartoon.
4. suspense.
thank you.

Here I want to include 7 Tips to Overcome Fear of Public Speaking.
1)Start Small
Find a few friends and family to practice on. Begin by speaking to smaller groups and build up from there.
2)Prepare
The ability to connect with audience comes from having the confidence . Rehearse several times before the big talk. Time your presentation and always have back up material in case time is left over.
3)Don't Memorize
The real pros know their material by remembering key points and prompts on sub topics and examples to cover
4)Avoid Bullets
The majority of presentations and speeches are boring .Trash the PowerPoint presentation and make materials the focal point of the talk. If you use PowerPoint, take the approach of using visuals that quickly convey your message.
5)Reduce Stress
The most fearful moment of any presentation is the one minute before your stage entrance. Use the tactic of elite athletes by visualizing a positive outcome and using deep belly breathing to reduce stress and build confidence.
6)Find a Friend
Prior to your public speaking on stage introduce yourself to a few members of the audience in the front row. During your talk look these people in the eye to ease your nerves and connect with your audience
and the last one :
7)Engage the Audience
Creating a monologue presentation puts the entire task of informing and entertaining the audience on you. Make your talk a two-way interaction with questions and participation to reduce boredom and speak with ease. Having the group involved also gives you time to reorganize your thoughts if things are going off track.
i hope this tips can help others to overcome fear of public speaking.

2. Secondly, you must speak clearly and adjust your voices so that everyone can hear you. Its very important tip to ensure audiences either hear or not your speech. But don't shout for the sake being loud.
3. Thirdly, it is common to speak rapidly when nervous. So that try to take your time speaking. For advanced, a pause in your speech can be used to emphasize a point or allow the audiences to react to fact or joke.
4. Lastly, you need to make eye contact with your audiences. This helps to build trust and relationship between the speakers and the listeners besides control your nervous and calm down yourself.

I want to add tips of starting a presentation.
1. Know your audience as well as posible
-before you start your presentation you have to ask yourself with basic question like:
who is your audience?
why you have to present?
where is it?
when is it?
2. Get practice
- get more practice in front of audience such as your friends. This practice can make you feel more confidence and competent when you want to do a presentation.
3. Don't apologise
- don't apologise for your nervous and lack of preparation time. Apolgise is useful when you do something wrong. Most of audience can't detect when you do a mistake, so don't mention about your mistake.
4. Take a breath
- if you feel nervous when you do a presentation you should pause and take a short breath. The pause may seem bit awkward, but the audience barely notice it.

after i read your blog,i feel more knowledgeable and more confident to excel in this subject.I really appreciate to Madam Mimi for this kind of a way of learning.
I definitely agree about things that mentioned above.I also want to add some tips to prevent from being nervousness.
Feeling some nervousness before giving a speech is natural and even beneficial, but too much nervousness can be worse.
here is some tips:
1.Know your material.
* Pick a topic you are interested in. Know more about it than you include in your speech. Use humor, personal stories and conversational language – that way you won’t easily forget what to say.
2.Practice. Practice. Practice!
*Rehearse out loud with all equipment you plan on using. Revise as necessary. Work to control filler words; Practice, pause and breathe. Practice with a timer and allow time for the unexpected.
3.Know the audience.
*Greet some of the audience members as they arrive. It’s easier to speak to a group of friends than to strangers.
4.Know the room.
*Arrive early, walk around the speaking area and practice using the microphone and any visual aids.
5.Relax.
* Begin by addressing the audience. It buys you time and calms your nerves. Pause, smile and count to three before saying anything. ("One one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand. Pause. Begin.) Transform nervous energy into enthusiasm.
6.Visualize yourself giving your speech. *Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear and confident. Visualize the audience clapping – it will boost your confidence.
7.Realize that people want you to succeed. *Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative and entertaining. They’re rooting for you.
8.Don’t apologize for any nervousness or problem
* the audience probably never noticed it.
9.Concentrate on the message
*not the medium. Focus your attention away from your own anxieties and concentrate on your message and your audience.
10.Gain experience. Mainly, your speech should represent you as an authority and as a person.
* Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking. A Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need in a safe and friendly environment.

Assalamualaikum and thank you for your post about starting a presentation. Here, I would to share about the ways in starting the speech to open your presentation that is related to your topic.
Good openings to speeches count for a lot. They don't guarantee a good result for your speech – but it's a near certainty for success. Starting your speech comes down to your choice and style. Choose something with which you are comfortable. And to make it even simpler there are at least five ways to open your speech:
1) Novelty : An innovative way to open your speech might take advantage of external props, lighting or sound effects. It could involve you speaking from somewhere other than the podium – perhaps from the middle of the audience seating area. The novelty opening aims to build interest and appreciation right from the start.
2) Drama : A dramatic opening to your speech could involve a serious tone of voice, an exclamation or a shout. It might entail a news item or some note of heightened urgency. Dramatic and novelty openings might well be considered together when opening your presentation.
3) Ask a question : When you raise a rhetorical question during your opening you don't expect it to be answered by your audience. Instead you use the question to set the framework for your speech. You pose an answer and then build the interest.
4) Humour : A humorous opening should succeed in setting the tone for your speech. But note that good humour has to be planned and timed to perfection. Practise and test this way of opening your speech. Note also that any humour should be safe for your particular audience.
5) Reference : Referring to other events, people, places and pastimes can be an effective way to open your speech. References set out parallel paths, connections and links that deserve further exploration. The most popular of all speech openings, the reference is a simple and effective start.
How you actually open your presentation is a matter of personal choice and style. There are several options always available to you. But your choice has purpose. Your opening aims to lay out the common ground with your audience. It sets the tone for everything that follows. It builds interest. And it affirms why you are qualified to speak on the subject.
I still remember about what Brendan Francis said that, "A quotation in a speech, article or book is like a rifle in the hands of an infantryman. It speaks with authority"
Thank You.

Assalamualaikum and thank you to all of tips. It's very usefull. I want share about the way how to feel confortable and confident when giving a speech.
Here some tips for you:-
1) Start with listing the main point of speech. After that memorize the main point, it can help you when you not remember the full speech.
2) Write a full speech based on the main point that you have been listed. Try to write using your own words. This can make you easy to remember the speech.
3) Practice in front of your friends. Go and find 5 or 6 friends and present your speech. Think that your friend is an audiance. If you no ready yet, try to practice in front of mirror.
4) Don't get hung up on specific words. It's unlikely that missing or changing any words will totally ruin your speech, don't worry about perfection because person that knows you screwed up is only you.
5) Make sure that you not read your speech. When you read your speech, people will aspect that your confident level is low. If you can't remember the speech just remember the main point.
6) Maintain eye contact.Look straight into the audience eyes for 3 seconds at a time. Use your eye contanct to make your audiance feel involved.
Thank you.

Assalamualaikum to Puan Mimi and all friends. I’m very interested with this topic and I would add some tips to starting presentation based on my experience that I can share with all of you. First of all, we should choose a correct and interesting topic. We must do some research and try to get as mush information as we can for our speech. We should ready with our speech and always practice to give speech, so that we not lose what we want to say.
When we want to start our speech, of course we get nervous when we looking the audience, but we face the fear by should look them and be confidence with your speech. Then try to relax with take a deep breath and be more confidence.
Next, start your speech by getting from the audience attentions and give greeting. We can get their attention by doing some jokes or ask them with any question. After that, we should welcome our audience such as “Thanks for taking the time” or “I appreciate you are coming today”. This is as a sign of thanks because they are willing to attend to listen of your speech.
Beside that, we should introduce our self. If we present on behalf of some company, we must tell our position at that company. After that, we can start our speech with introduce our topic and continue to our body of speech. When we want to move to another point in our speech, it is better if we used a transition, so that the audience do not get boring and lose with our speech. We also can use any materials or make some face expression to get attention from audience during our speech.
Other than that, during our speech is importance to make sure that our voices are clear to all of our audience, not too loud and not too slow. Furthermore, we must ensure that we speak clearly and properly, so that the audience can understand what we are going to say. I suggest to all of you to use as simple and easy word and sentences as we can to make audience understand.
Last but not least, end our speech by giving them the opportunity to ask you any question and lastly saying thanks.
Thank you (",)..

Assalamualaikum madam,,
Thank you because of this excellent tip.
I also have a tip want to share.
a)When start the speech avoid starting with something like "I'm here to talk to you about..", "I would like to talk to you about..", "Today we're going to talk about..".This make audience feel bored at the starting of the speech and try something different. It give audience more excited to listen the speech.
b)Use physical presentation aids like things people can hold and feel. This technique makes your presentation more memorable.
c)When unsure a question, use active listening techniques to rephrase it and confirm it with the questioner before providing an answer.
d)Lastly, meet up with some of the audience members afterwards to elicit feedback and see where any mistake occurred. Learn from this to improve the speech in future.
Hope this tip can help to improve the skill when do the speech to be more excellent.
Thank You.

I have search about ways to being a great speaker, here i want to share it.
7 Ways to Being a Great Speaker
by Jim M. Allen
1. Be Yourself
It's great to watch other successful speakers, to see what they do and how they do it. To be a great speaker in your own right requires you to develop your own style, to speak using your own voice. Be yourself when you speak and you can't help but be successful.
2. Be Bold
You might think that it takes boldness just to stand up and start talking, and it does, but there are plenty of speakers out there who come across like timid mice. Be bold as a speaker, confident in your abilities. Practice every day, give speeches whenever you can.
3. Be different
Successful speakers aren't like everybody else. There's something that sets them apart. Makes them stand out. They're the speakers who do more than just stand in the front of the room and talk at you.
4. Be funny
Successful speakers know how to be funny, that is: they know when and where to use humor in their presentations... and they aren't afraid to do so.
5. Be engaging
Listening to a speech is, for most people, a passive activity. Successful speakers involve their audiences and converse with them so that it's a conversation, not a talking-to.
6. Be positive
No matter what the subject, successful speakers are always positive with their audiences. They help their audiences learn what to do as opposed to what NOT to do. They focus on the upside, not the downside.
7. Be challenging.
Lastly, great speakers always challenge their audiences to do great things. And again, it doesn't matter what the subject. A successful speaker gives you the know-how and the challenge to make your life more enjoyable and more rewarding everyday.
thank you.

Assalamualaikum.
I'm really agree with your tips. But i still want to share with you about other tips for speech presentation.
1. When you are presenting in front of an audience, you are performing as an actor is on stage. You must speak slowly, enunciate clearly, and show appropriate emotion and feeling relating to your topic. Speak to the person farthest away from you to ensure your voice is loud enough to project to the back of the room. Vary the tone of your voice and dramatize if necessary. If a microphone is available, adjust and adapt your voice accordingly.
2. Body language is important. Standing, walking or moving about with appropriate hand gesture or facial expression is preferred to sitting down or standing still with head down and reading from a prepared speech.
3. Speak with conviction as if you really believe in what you are saying. Persuade your audience effectively. The material you present orally should have the same ingredients as that which are required for a written research paper.
4. Do not read from notes for any extended length of time although it is quite acceptable to glance at your notes infrequently. Speak loudly and clearly. Sound confident. Do not mumble. If you made an error, correct it, and continue. No need to make excuses or apologize profusely.
5. Maintain sincere eye contact with your audience. Use the 3-second method, e.g. look straight into the eyes of a person in the audience for 3 seconds at a time. Have direct eye contact with a number of people in the audience, and every now and then glance at the whole audience while speaking. Use your eye contact to make everyone in your audience feel involved.
6. Add humor whenever appropriate and possible. Keep audience interested throughout your entire presentation. Remember that an interesting speech makes time fly, but a boring speech is always too long to endure even if the presentation time is the same.

Assalamualaikum.
i agree with your tips that you give.but here i have some additional advice that i hope can help everybody to prepared their presentation, here the tips.
Additional advice
–Visualize typical audience; think of a canonical person
–Try to visualize to whom you want to talk
–Try to read their minds:
•What would they think when you say this?
•What would they want to know in this topic?
–Take these into account when you make the STORY of your presentation
•Make your presentation visually appealing
•Make your statements simple
–It’svery dull for the audience to try to read from line to line on a very dense slide
–Or, the audience will stop listening after first 5 minutes
•If you are going to give a dull talk, better not to give it at all: it will ruin your reputation
•But…
–Make sure to include at least the core of the technicalcontents in your presentation
–Slides full of fancy effects with poor technical contentsare just as bad asdense, unreadable ones.
i hope this can help you for your presentation. thank you.

ASSALAMUALAIKUM MADAM,
I am agree on your topic about starting a presentation..
As we know, to start our speech, we need to introduce ourself. Then, we need to teel them about whAt we are going to talk.In addition,we need to make the audiences comfortable with the environment,example make a joke or something like that.
But, I think we also need to consider proper preparation on our speech preparation.
First, we need to identify the purpose of the presentation.
Then, for people,we need to think about what they want from your presentation, and about what you need to give them.
After that,be profesionalism.Example,present yourself as a competent and professional person and confident yourself to give the audience a well speech.You don't need to pressure yourself.Just tell the public what have you prepared previously.
The last one is try to have your own identity for the audience to remember your speech.People understand things more easily if they fit in some way with what they already know.
thats all for my comment..
thank you<3..

Thank you for your sample of how we have to prepare before starting a presentation. I totally agree with your suggestion but, now I want to share my opinion about how to start a presentation. Here it is:
1. Step 1
Look at your audience. Don't look down at your notes except when necessary, or at your hands or feet. As you begin your oral presentation, seek out two or three people at different places in the room, and look them in the eye.
2. Step 2
Hold your head high and smile. Even if your presentation isn't on a particularly happy or funny topic, it can't hurt to smile at your audience before you begin your oral presentation.
3. Step 3
Begin your oral presentation with a comment, quote, or fact that will stick with your audience long after your speech is finished. The key is to find something that portrays the essence of your topic in a profound way. It may even sum up your entire topic before the audience even knows what your presentation is about. This they will recognize, of course, by the end of the presentation.
4. Step 4
Speak clearly and in a practiced tone and volume. There is nothing worse for a public speaker than to open his mouth and find that his voice has become gravelly or, even worse, high-pitched. Keep a glass or bottle of drinking water handy on the podium if it is allowed, and sip it frequently in the seconds prior to speaking.
5. Step 5
Know your speech inside out and well ahead of time. Practice makes perfect, and nothing is more perfect in an oral presentation than the lack of need to constantly refer to your notes. By all means, keep notes at hand on 3-by-5 inch cards, but refer to them only when absolutely necessary.
That’s all I want share with you all. Thank you. [ SYAFIQ]

i would like to add some way to have a best way to start presentation.
In order to have a good presentation or speech, your introduction will need to have three main ingredients:
1. You will need to get the audience's attention.
2. The topic and core message should be presented clear and concise.
3. A very effective overview of the presentation.
It is very important that you grab the audience's attention from the very beginning. If you fail to do so, your presentation could be a disaster from the start.
Here are some helpful techniques that you may want to use during your introduction:
1. Use a famous quote. A great quote is a good way to start your speech. Make sure your quote can be tied into the message of your presentation.
2. Tell a joke. Humor is a good way to begin a presentation if humor comes naturally to you. It's a great way to break the ice in order to ease tension and get your audience to relax. However, if you are not a good joke teller, steer clear of this technique.
3. Tell a story. Tell a short compelling story that will go well with your presentation.
4. Encourage audience participation. A great way to get audience participation during the introduction is doing the "show of hands" method. Conduct a short survey with a show of hands. Again, it should go well with your presentation or speech.
5. Make a Thought Provoking and Bold Statement. This technique will only work if you speak with a loud voice that is in contrast to your normal tone of voice.

Assalammmualaikum madam mimi..
The article is good to starting the presentation. The article can give more tips
and more point to do are good presentation.
This i want to share about preparing for presentation efficiently.
Dressing Appropriately:
Making the right first impression may be vital to the success of your presentation so it is important that you decide on the image that you want to convey and dress appropriately. Even before you begin to speak, members of your audience are likely to have formed opinions about you based on the way you are dressed, your personal grooming, posture and body language. If you surprise them in some way, they will be distracted and this will lessen the impact of what you’re saying.
Dietary Considerations:
Therefore if your presentation will occur at these times of day think carefully about your diet - perhaps eat a light but high energy snack an hour or so before. These low energy levels are also likely to be present in your audience so it may be worth providing a snack or buffet ahead of the presentation. Thinking carefully about when and what to eat prior to a presentation may also give you an edge. The best advice is to eat a light meal about an hour before your presentation - you should then have plenty of energy but should not feel lethargic. Avoid eating a full meal within 2 hours of presenting or you are likely to perform below your best as your body copes with digesting your food.
Reducing Tension on the Day
There are a few simple exercises that can help to eliminate the tension that you are likely to feel in the hours preceding a major presentation. Muscles naturally tense in response to nervousness in order to prepare the body for a fight or flight response. Body language is an important facet of your presentation and tension can create some undesirable effects on your posture.
You may feel tension in your neck and shoulders - and this may cause you to appear hunched. It may also cause a tightening in your larynx - producing the breathless quivering voice associated with nervousness. Tension is also tiring and consequently it may have a detrimental effect on your overall performance.
Make sure that you are sitting on a sturdy and stable chair, sit facing forwards and pull your right knee towards your chest - supporting it with your hands crossed over the shin. Lower your head until your forehead and knee meet; then hold the pose for about 10 seconds before relaxing gently to the start position. Repeat three times with each leg.
A good last minute exercise to relax your face muscles is to close your eyes and squeeze your face tightly into a ball, hold this position for 30 seconds, relax and then opening your mouth and eyes as widely as you can stretch your face muscles by making your face as large as you can, again holding the position for 30 seconds.The venue will set the mood for your presentation. An informal gathering in a small cheerful office will create a very different mood to a large conference room in an hotel.Stand in the position that you will occupy when presenting and check the line of sight to your audience.

Assalamualaikum, I like the post. It is clearer. Now I can get many tips from you. Thanks a lot. I ever attend a course on presentation advantage and I still remember the tips on how to be a good presenter and make a better presentation. First of all, like I mentioned before in my other comment, we have to design our presentation. It is simply means that we have to plan our message and develop it. We have to:
i) Identify our purpose
ii) Analyze our audience
iii) Assess the situation
iv) Brainstorm ideas
Identify our purpose
- To identify our purpose, determine what we want audience to:
i) Do
ii) Know
iii) Feel
Analyze our audience
-Be proactive. Find out as much as we can about our audience. Here are some questions that we should consider:
i) Who will attend our presentation?
ii) What are their needs?
iii) What do they know about the subject?
iv)What is their bias of the subject?
v)What are their questions?
vi) What actions will we take, based on this analysis?
Assess the situation
-It is all about time, setting and other influences.
Brainstorm the ideas
-Brainstorming is a free and undisciplined activity that allows groups, teams, and individuals to generate ideas quickly and creatively. Use key words, paper slips, project mapping, white page and free writing.
Next step is to develop our message. It is not enough to present our message and walk away. We need to support our message. By the way, I have some tips to share with friends. We should organize and group our brainstorming ideas, select and prioritize our key supporting points, develop our key supporting points and develop our introduction and conclusion. To make us easy to make a perfect message, we can use SSS formula, state, support and summarize the point that we have. We have to dive in to develop our introduction and we have to climb out to develop our conclusion. That is all about designing our presentation. I want to jump some in delivering our presentation =) . Like usual the most important six element, eye contact, facial expression, gestures, movement, appearance and voice. Besides that, we as a speaker have to get rid of the ‘ums’ and ‘uhs’. Listeners have an odd threshold for ‘ums’ and ‘uhs’. I guess, this is all I can share with everyone and all I can reflect about starting a presentation. Thank you =)

Salam to Madam Emelia...
when doing the presentation everyone facing the fear of looking foolish, lack of confident and afraid if the presentation become boring and yet no one give attention to what we trying to delivered. One of the tips that we can do is trying to speak more clearly in order to ensure audience understand what we trying to delivered.
Here, I want to share a few tips that can help us to speak more clearly:
1.Speak Slower - Even if you can communicate properly at lightning speed it doesn't help the person to receive the communication any faster. When a listener has no time to process what another is saying their cognation shuts down. By slowing your speech a bit, it helps others to absord your words.
2.Enunciate - Make sure you are saying the whole word properly. Misstated pronunciations are common so you may need to make sure you know how to pronounce a word correctly before uttering it.
3.Repeat or restate - It helps a listener to comprehend exactly what you are trying to communicate. Repeating an important point drives what you are really trying to convey to the lister. Restating a point gives your listener a new perception, thus giving them another way to understand your point.
4.Body Language - This says it all! Speech is only 1/3 of the communication process. Making body jestures say the same thing your thoughts are trying to convey is just or even more important. You may need to practice in a mirror. Your communication process is an ever-evolving process. Paying attention to these steps will help you to become a better communicator.
hope with the tips the audience understand the content we want to delivered by speak more clearly.
have a nice day!

I would like to add some tips about starting a presentation.
1. Title slide
One of the simplest ways when starting a presentation, particularly if you’re feeling nervous, is to have a slide with the title of the presentation and your name on it. This gives the audience something to look at while you gather your notes and thoughts.
2. State the objectives
Stating the objectives of your talk is better suited to a training or educational presentation. The audience is informed upfront what points will be covered during the presentation and perhaps what is expected from them. Starting a presentation this way is, however, not recommended if you are trying to persuade. For example, if you’re trying to convince senior management to purchase a new computer system for your office, you may not want give the game away too early by stating that this is your objective!
3. Question
Try to think of a good question related to your presentation that your audience will want answered. For example: ‘Do our customers see us as a reliable supplier?’ or ‘Does pre-school help with a child’s development?’ This will immediately get your audience thinking about the subject. Some may even have their own views. You can then go on to give your presentation finishing with your conclusions and answering your initial question.
4. Second guessing
This is similar to asking a question. By anticipating and challenging your audience’s preconceived ideas you can grab their attention from the start. For example, “You may be expecting today to hear just another monthly management talk. But this morning I have something more interesting to say…”
5. Quotation
Starting a presentation with a quote is simple, yet can be very effective. The quotation should of course be relevant to your subject, and preferably from a well-known person familiar to the audience.
6. Facts and figures
Giving some relevant facts or statistics can sometimes be a good way when starting a presentation. But don’t overwhelm your audience. Keep the facts simple, accurate and to the point. Contrasting facts often have the biggest impact. For example, “In the 1970s, the average city dweller was exposed to around 500 ad messages each day. Today it's over 3,000.”
7. Informal
This can be used to involve your audience and lead onto your presentation. For example: “Just the other day, John and I were discussing the problems with our new computer system. I contacted the software developers and this is what they told me…”
8. Anecdote
An amusing and well told anecdote can often be a good way to start a presentation. Again, a few general rules apply: keep it brief and relevant to your presentation. If possible give it a personal twist relating to yourself. A presenter with the willingness to laugh at oneself often warms up the audience and can brake down barriers.
9. Topical story
If you like the idea of starting the presentation with a story, but are uncomfortable with an amusing anecdote, try to find a topical story form the news or from within your organization that is relevant and will lead into your presentation.
10. Be controversial
Try starting a presentation with a controversial statement relating to your subject. Then immediately follow it up with a clarification that you can build your presentation on. For example: “Training our sales staff in the classroom about our products is a waste of time and money…” (Pause for effect, allowing the statement to take effect, then) “Unless we follow that training up with real-life experience in the field.”

Salam madam...
I've read your tips on starting presentation. It just a simple tips but I can use for my presentation. Here I want to share with you some other tips on the same topics.
1. Give the audience "wow" statement.
Rivet audience attention, literally with the first words out of your mouth. Don't start with a prolonged "thank you" and information about yourself. You can add that later. Start with a fact that will really generate interest.
2. Open with the unusual.
All audiences are curious about things that are fantastic or odd or unusual.
Create an image or paint a verbal picture of something we would never expect to hear. If you were speaking on the environment, you could use an example of a fish with feet walking on the beach, or a wolf with gills swimming in a lake.
3. Pose a Question.
Posing questions is a great way to interact at the beginning of a speech.
4. Show Opposites.
Many professional speakers open with opposition. Describing polar opposites always generates interest. Think of how some literary giants began their works.
5. Show and Tell.
Using a prop or holding up an object is a very engaging way to get audience attention right at the beginning.
6. Be genuine.
There are many ways to begin your presentation, but ultimately, your opening should be genuine: something that you feel comfortable with. It could be a story or a quote, but most importantly, it should be an opening that everyone in the audience can relate to. That is what will make for a memorable opening and a memorable speaker.

1. Look at your audience. Don't look down at your notes except when necessary, or at your hands or feet. As you begin your oral presentation, seek out two or three people at different places in the room, and look them in the eye.
2. Hold your head high and smile. Even if your presentation isn't on a particularly happy or funny topic, it can't hurt to smile at your audience before you begin your oral presentation.

Make it...or break it?
Over the past while I've had the opportunity of observing a variety of presentations in different settings. Some were delivered at conferences while others were delivered in business or technical situations.
There was a similarity or sameness in the presentations that I just couldn't put my finger on. Then it came to me when at one conference a series of presenters delivered in a rather rapid fire sequence one right after each other with very little time in between.
The opening of a presentation is usually BORING!
There is no other way to put it. The presentation opening is one the most crucial elements of a powerful presentation. It really came to me when I saw the series of presenters and their openings were almost identical. What made it worse for me was that I found the presenter introductions and bios that were read aloud often more interesting than the presenters themselves…not a good thing!...These are some of the words that came to my mind when I observed their openings.
Conventional
Ordinary
Dull
Lifeless
A lack of passion
Little personality
Predictable
Safe and cautious
Drivel
Pointless
Some of you may find those words quite strong. That's great...because sometimes we have to use strong words to make a strong point. Have I already mentioned how crucial the opening of your presentation is? How it sets the tone…and positions you as an expert in your field?
In 30 seconds or less… grab their attention or walk away!
Here are some simple guidelines to follow in the opening of your next presentation. The first 30 seconds of your presentation your job is to grab their attention, arouse curiosity, break convention or debunk a popular belief. In the first three minutes tell them the promises you will make in the presentation, or simply put, give them what they came for. Finally, when you reach the five-minute mark you will have described in explicit detail, how you will deliver on those promises you just made.
The powerful presenter gets right to the point… right away. Think of yourself as an athlete charging out of the starting gate. Don't punish me as an audience member and make me wait and wait and wait until you eventually get around to the things I came to hear.
Come out punching… Get to the point…your audience deserves nothing less.
Here's a much different list of words that come to my mind in powerful and high impact presentation openings…
Extraordinary
Unconventional
Memorable
Thought provoking
Bold
Stimulating
Invigorating
Startling
Challenge of norm
Contrary
Provocative
Bigger than life
Flamboyant
Unpredictable
Funny to me how it was easier to make this list longer as the words came so easily and I have been an audience member as you have, and we both crave the unexpected.
You now may be thinking, well that's fine but what would be really helpful is a demonstration that would be hard hitting and relevant for my own presentations.
No problem... I'm way ahead of you.

Assalamualaikum to Madam Mimi.I agree with your topic 'Starting A Presentation'. I know give a speech is not easy. Many preparation we must do for deliver a good speech.So,I want share some tips 'How to structure a presentation'.
Starting a presentation
This is the most important part of the presentation and serves two main purposes
1. To act as an attention grabber for the audience
2. To let your elevated levels of adrenaline and testosterone racing through your blood stream settle down, so that you can relax into your presentation
This may well happen while the audience are finding their seats and wondering what is going to happen next. There is no right and wrong attention grabber, but here are some of the ones that I have found to work.
1. A funny story (if humour is your thing - but avoid religious, sexual, sexist or racist jokes)
2. A video clip, but if you use one, make sure that it is less than 60 seconds
3. Unusual statistics about your industry or about your audience
4. A cartoon. I personally use the cartoons from Ted Goff
5. Suspense (e.g. walk on with a cardboard box and place it in the middle of the stage - but don't tell people what it is there for)
The middle of a presentation
A good presentation technique is the rule of three.
The rule of three is based on the technique that people tend to remember three things. In oratory it comes up all the time. Here are some examples:
"Friends, Romans, countrymen"
"The good, the bad and the ugly"
"Blood, sweat and tears"
Think about it - if there are only three points that I would like to leave my audience with, what would they be? There you have the middle of the presentation.
All you now have to do is to think of ways of illustrating these points and then you have the bulk of the structure of the presentation.
The end of the presentation
The end is more important than the beginning. There is a psychological factor called recency. This is where people remember most the last thing that they are told. This particularly applies to lists.
So the ending of the presentation is key.
There are a number of techniques that can work well, but they should be all related to the main structure of the presentation.
Ideas include;
1. A funny story (one that encapsulates at least one of the main themes of the presentation,
2. A high energy video clip,
3. Relieving the suspense (you may be wondering why I brought this cardboard box onto the the stage...)

Assalamualaikum. I have read your article and it’s very usefull for me. Here I have some tips how to make a proper presantation.
Consider the following when thinking about your presentation:
1.Purpose. Always identify the purpose of your presentation. Often the real purpose will be to do with persuasion. It often helps to ask the question, "What's the one thing I want them to take away with them?" The answer is usually more complex than this, but trying to identify one thing will help you to prioritise your objectives.
2.People. Think about the people at your presentation. What do they know? What can they do? How do they feel? Think about what they want from your presentation, and about what you need to give them. You will probably want to do some homework on this. Talk to colleagues who have worked with these people in the past, talk to the organiser, talk to the participants themselves.
3.Problems. Ask yourself what can go wrong with your presentation, and have contingency plans to help you cope and to boost your confidence. It may be that the OHP bulb blows - what will you do? It may be that numbers are not what were expected - what will you do? It may be that people turn up late - what will you do? It may be that they already know all about your topic - what will you do?
4.Professionalism. One of your main purposes is likely to be to present yourself as a thoroughly competent and professional person. Think about how you can do this, and don't restrict yourself to the presentation itself. Perhaps you could put a decent sign on the door. Maybe you could make an OHP out of your audience's crest or logo. You might customise your handouts. There are all sorts of things you can do, but do think about it.
5.Patterns. Try to find patterns or shapes to your presentation that will help your audience to remember what you say. People understand things more easily if they fit in some way with what they already know, and the way in which information is structured is a key factor in how easily people can absorb it.

Thank you Madam Mimi. Here some advice and tips how to achieve and be a good presenter.
Well, a good speech should have strong content of the presentation, what you want to communicate to the audience, what is your core message? After identifying those, you should create a presentation based on your core message, but make sure, you should be very clear of what you want to say.
Try turning your PowerPoint approach inside out. The next time you make a presentation, replace one of your usual bulleted lists with a new slide that contains only a simple image on a blank background. When you show the slide to your audience, ask them a question about it. Listen to their response, repeat it back, and tailor your talk to what you heard. If you've managed to draw forth any information that helps you adapt and adjust your dialogue with your audience, you're well on your way to evoking communication success.
Thank you.

Better Public Speaking and Presentation
Ensure Your Words Are Always Understood
Think of the last really memorable talk or presentation that you attended. Now, was that easy to do, or did you really have to rack your brains to remember one? Sadly, too many presentations are easy to forget. And that's a big problem because the only reason the presenter gave the talk was to communicate something to you!
However, there are three basic things that you can do to ensure that your verbal messages are understood – and remembered – time and time again.
Although somewhat obvious and deceptively simple, these are:
~ Understand the purpose of the presentation
~ Keep the message clear and concise
~ Be prepared
~ Be vivid when delivering the message
~ Understand what you want to achieve
Before you start working on your talk or presentation, it's vital that you really understand what you want to say, who you want to tell and why they might want to hear it. To do this, ask yourself: Who? What? How? When? Where? Why?
Who are you speaking to? What are their interests, presuppositions and values? What do they share in common with others; how are they unique?
What do you wish to communicate? One way of answering this question is to ask yourself about the ‘success criteria’. How do you know if and when you have successfully communicated what you have in mind?
How can you best convey your message? Language is important here, as are the nonverbal cues discussed earlier. Choose your words and your nonverbal cues with your audience in mind. Plan a beginning, middle and end. If time and place allow, consider and prepare audio-visual aids.
When? Timing is important here. Develop a sense of timing, so that your contributions are seen and heard as relevant to the issue or matter at hand. There is a time to speak and a time to be silent. ‘It’s better to be silent than sing a bad tune.’
Where? What is the physical context of the communication in mind? You may have time to visit the room, for example, and rearrange the furniture. Check for availability and visibility if you are using audio or visual aids.
Why? In order to convert hearers into listeners, you need to know why they should listen to you – and tell them if necessary. What disposes them to listen? That implies that you know yourself why you are seeking to communicate – the value or worth or interest of what you are going to say.
* Keep it simple
When it comes to wording your message, less is more. You're giving your audience headlines. They don't need to and are usually not expecting to become experts on the subject as a result of hearing your talk.
* Be prepared
Preparation is underrated. In fact, it is one of the most important factors in determining your communication successes. When possible, set meeting times and speaking and presentation times well in advance, thus allowing yourself the time you need to prepare your communications, mindful of the entire communication process (source, encoding, channel, decoding, receiver, feedback and context). By paying close attention to each of these stages and preparing accordingly, you ensure your communications will be more effective and better understood.
Of course, not all communications can be scheduled. In this case, preparation may mean having a good, thorough understanding of the office goings-on, enabling you to communicate with the knowledge you need to be effective, both through verbal and written communications.

Thanks madam for your post. Here I want to add some tips on opening your speech to deliver effective speeches.
The mission of your opening is to 1. Grab their interest; 2. Establish rapport; 3. Introduce your topic. Here are 10 techniques you can use to launch your successful speech.
* Startling statement.
Use a strong attention grabbing statement - with facts, statistics or unusual information. "The greatest fear is to speak in public. The second greatest fear is to die."
* Suspense/ Surprise.
Start with a suspense-building sentence or take them in one direction - then hit them with surprise. "It was a dark and stormy night - it was my wedding night."
* Story/Anecdote.
Tell a short story. Begin your story with the word imagine. It is an engaging word. "Imagine that we could travel back in time to witness the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk."
* Quotation.
When you use a quotation you tap into the credibility and power of the person who stated those words. "I have a dream, cried out Martin Luther King Jr." Quote from people well known and well liked by your audience.
* Challenging Question.
Questions are always powerful and engaging. This could be a rhetorical question. "Are you ready for the millennium? When the clock ticks over to January 1, 2000, will planes be falling and computers crashing?"
* Compliment the audience.
Be sincere - don't say, "You are the most beautiful audience I have ever seen." Instead say something that impressed you about the group, 'I am very impressed with the hospitality shown to me by you today. This lives up to the reputation I have heard about your community work.'
* Occasion.
Comment on the occasion - especially if it is an anniversary or awards night. "To speak to you on your 10th annual awards dinner is an honor." Or uncover some information about the group that outsiders would not normally know. "Happy Birthday to your founding president." This takes a little research - and is worth it.
* Prop or visual.
Catch their attention and set the mood with a funny hat, uniform, or stuffed bear. Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), would blow a cloud of smoke on stage before he made his entrance. It always got a laugh. You might roll a ball across the stage or play with a yo-yo. What you do before you speak can be powerful.
* Previous speaker.
Pick up on something a previous speaker said or did - especially if that was the president or chairman of the board. Build on what they said. It shows that you listened and gives you more credibility if you agree with the boss. Before you speak ask a participant, "What was the funniest thing that happened so far?" Try to build on this to get a laugh. Comedians call this technique a call back.
* Engage the audience.
Ask a question that requires the audience to answer, or one that is sure to make them laugh. "How many of the women in the audience have had an affair with Bill Clinton? - - How many of the men?"
Bonus tips:
o Don't start with "My topic is..." or "Today I am going to talk about..." Both of these are boring.
o Never start with an apology. "I'm sorry we are running late." "I'm sorry the president couldn't be here." "I'm sorry about the meal."
o Once you take your position on stage, enjoy a long pause before you speak. Silently count "1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi".
o Smile as you first look around the audience. Look like you are happy to be there even if you don't feel that way.
o Get them to laugh early. You'll feel better and they will decide to like you sooner.
That’s all that I can share with..thanks~

Assalamualaikum,,
Here i want to share tips when starting the presentation.
Start with a joke or a funny story, if the situation allows for it. However, where the topic is a serious one, commence by asking a thought-provoking question or with a relevant and meaningful quote. These techniques seek to engage the audience.
Telling the audience something that they do not already know. It can be a interesting statistic or a controversial idea. Provoking the thoughts of the audience will keep them interested in the upcoming presentation.
A good presentation must have a thesis at the beginning like establish topic and purpose, show expectations of response from audience, should be direct and clear and should gain audience's interest.
I hope this tips will help to make our starting presentation look perfect.
Thank you.

Halo there.
How to start a presentation? For me, firstly we should get the attention of the audience using attention getting opener. This are very important to the presenter to present their presentation.
Secondly,as the presenter, we should welcome the audience politely and gently before began the presentation. This can make the audience feel comfortable with us.
Third,introducing who we are, where we come from, what we here for. To make the audience understand our point about the presentation.
Fourth and last but not least, we should tell the audience purpose of the presentation. Whether want to sell health product or give a presentation about information.
Thank you.
4. State the purpose of your presentation
5. State how you want to deal with questions

Delivering an effective presentation to 20 or to 200 people is difficult. Because listeners have better access to information since the internet became commonplace, audiences expect more content from speakers today. Here is a quick guide to giving an effective and interesting presentation your very first time.
Begin with something to get the attention of the audience. This might be a startling statement, statistic, or your own story. Listeners pay close attention when a person begins with, "Two weeks ago as I was driving to work a car pulled out in front of me...." You could begin with a current event: "You might have read in the paper this morning about the flood that...." A question is another way to make people listen. "How many of you feel our society spends too much on medical care?" might be a way to begin a presentation about curbing costs. Whatever technique you use, when you grab the attention of the audience you are on your way to a successful speech.
Be energetic in delivery. Speak with variety in your voice. Slow down for a dramatic point and speed up to show excitement. Pause occasionally for effect. Don't just stand behind the lectern, but move a step away to make a point. When you are encouraging your audience, take a step toward them. Gesture to show how big or wide or tall or small an object is that you are describing. Demonstrate how something works or looks or moves as you tell about it. Show facial expression as you speak. Smile when talking about something pleasant and let your face show other emotions as you tell about an event or activity. Whatever your movements, they should have purpose.
Tie your points together with transitions. These could be signposts such as "First," "Second," or "Finally." Use an internal summary by simply including the point you just made and telling what you plan to talk about next. "Now that we have talked about structure, let's move on to the use of stories," would be an example. When you have an introduction, two or three main points with support for each, appropriate transitions, and a conclusion, you will have your speech organized in a way that the audience can follow you easily.
Include a "wow" factor in your speech. Something in your speech should make your audience think, "Wow!" It could be a story, a dramatic point, an unusual statistic, or an effective visual that helps the audience understand immediately. With a "wow" factor, you then have something to look forward to in the speech that you know will have an impact on your audience. You'll become a more enthusiastic speaker because the "wow" factor will get you as well as your audience pumped for the speech.
Finally, leave the audience with something to think about. People remember best what you say last. You might summarize your main points, or you might complete the statement, "What I want you to do as a result of this presentation is...." But beyond that, make your last words a thought to ponder. For example, I might end a speech on becoming a better speaker with "As Cicero said centuries ago, 'The skill to do comes with the doing.'" A more modern guide to effective public speaking was penned by some unknown sage: "Know your stuff. Know whom you are stuffing. Know when they are stuffed."

I have one tips to share with all of you about this topic. Before start the presentation, we must identify the 5's question which is:
1. who?
2. what?
3. why?
4. when?
5. where?
who - am I? The audience needs to know a bit about you. So tell them your name (slowly - you’re very used to it, they may be hearing it for the first time), and - very briefly - where you’re from.
what – am I going to talk about? You may find this hard to believe, but people can sit through presentations and still now know what the topic was. Again, tell them this slowly. The words in your title are very familiar to you, but the audience may well not know them. This is also important as a way of managing expectations. It defines the areas that you are not going to address.
why – am I talking to you? Don’t overdo this, or it will look as though you feel the need to justify your presence, and that looks like weakness. But do explain very briefly why it’s you that’s standing up there.
when – will I take questions? Questions can be one of the big problems in presenting - especially for inexperienced presenters. Questions in the middle of a presentation can be quite disruptive. So it’s often better the take them at the end; you can manage this by setting out your approach at the outset.
Where – is this presentation going? Structure is critical in effective presenting. A brief overview of the direction of your talk - probably with the major sections identified - helps both the audience and yourself to feel comfortable.
There a few thing to make our presentation become more interesting. For example:
1. Appropriate Audio Visual. Few things make presenters look sillier than bad AV.
2. Short Sentences. Long sentences, however carefully they may be structured (and often they are not structured very well), tend - by and large - to be much harder to follow than shorter sentences which, by their very nature, are more likely to be conducive to the effective transmission of ideas.
3.Interest. Your own interest must show. If you're not interested, why should they be?
Thank You.

Starting a Presentation
• The Internal Circus: Dealing with objections and questions
~ People have very noisy heads. If you’ve ever spent more than 60 seconds attempting to meditate, you will have noticed that the mind thinks thoughts.
~ Constantly and using your determination to stop thinking is like trying to stop the tide with a handful of water.
~ Just when you think you’ve got to some stillness, you realize that your mind is not only thinking how the stillness isn’t quite as still as it could be (if only you would meditate properly…), but it’s also planning the emails you need to send when you get up.
~ This kind of dialogue and commentary is going on constantly for everyone who is listening to you. If you could hear how noisy it is in a room full of apparently silent people, your psychic ears would get that post-music-gig ringing sound…
~ Some of those thoughts will be about you and your topic. That’s what I call the internal circus. It’s loud, attention-grabbing, and designed to distract.
~ Full of mental elephants, trapeze artists, clowns and one loud brass band. If you want people to hear you above the noise in their heads you have to become somewhat the ringmaster of their internal circus.
~ This means that you have to think about what objections/ questions/ concerns/ prejudices are going on for them, label them out loud and up front, and then deal with them to your listeners’ satisfaction.
~ Honesty works really well here, as does admitting the limits of your knowledge and the limits of the session. ‘What I’m not going to be able to do today is…’
• Curiosity – motivating people to listen
~ The other factor when you begin a talk is to get people interested in what you are going to say. People are not, in the main, waiting on tenterhooks to hear you speak.
~ Even if they have signed up for your session of their own free will, they still have a very noisy head full of things they need to do after your session, or maybe, with Blackberries and SMS, during your session.
The only way to cut through that noise is to give them strong reasons to listen to you. And these have to be relevant to them.
~ How will what you are recommending give them enormous amounts of what they love, or not following your recommendations have them lose shedloads of what they value?
~If you can open relevant questions but not immediately answer them, you can begin to trigger curiosity, as long as it’s not in too cheesy a fashion.
~ It is important that you are honest and radically transparent. Any hint of selling (yuck) and outcome the Blackberries.
Laying out the options and teaching from your experience are the new selling.
• Starting communication well
~ So… If you can start your communication honestly dealing with concerns and genuinely offering valuable insights, then, maybe, people may begin to listen.
And that’s just the beginning…

Starting a presentation effectively is critical to its success. If the introduction to a presentation does not go well the audience can slip into a negative frame of mind or switch off. There are the some tips about starting a presentation:
1- Force Attention
High impact animation sequences can start presentations with a bang. Add music, video, interesting pictures, and a good script, and the audience are drawn to a presentation like moths to a flame. But, remember; while grabbing the audience’s attention may be easy, keeping it is hard. Shiny animations will draw an audience in, but without relevant content in the rest of the presentation, they are wasted.
2- Demonstrate Empathy
Prospects are usually looking for somebody who understands the challenges they face, and who can offer a solution to these problems. So, draw the audience in by presenting an outline of the issues they face to show that you have understood. Then, spend the rest of the presentation – after this introduction – showing how you can solve the problems you understand the audience to have.
3- Delivering the Start of a Presentation
A lot of presenters are nervous of presenting. Nerves can be reduced when the presentation introduction is well-planned, though-out, and rehearsed. If a presentation starts well – most presenters tend to relax. So, work out what you want to achieve with the start of your presentation, and then practice presenting these first few slides, again and again.

Assalamualaikum
i want to share some tips
A good speaker is inspiring, clear and persuasive. Some people struggle all their lives to learn to be good speakers. Many speakers are boring, long-winded and confusing. Most speeches go on for far too long and do not get the message across clearly.
It is relatively easy to become a good public speaker. You have to concentrate on the content and what you are trying to communicate and make sure that is clear. You also have to work on your presentation style to make sure that you do not bore people or confuse them. Practice is the best teacher – you will become better with experience.
Important things to know about public speaking
#Target audience
Your speech must suit the target audience that you are addressing – find out before-hand exactly who you will be speaking to, what their issues, problems and concerns are and how they feel about your organisation and the issues you want to talk about. If you are addressing a community meeting get a briefing from people in the area who know what the local problems and issues are. People at community meetings will always raise the most common problems in their areas and if you are well prepared you will be able to help address those problems.
It is also important to fit in as much as possible with the audience you are speaking to – the way you dress and behave should make them feel comfortable. It is not always easy to do this since you may speak to different groups ranging from very formal to very informal, in one day. The best idea is to dress as neutrally as possible and to look neat, tidy and semi-smart without over-dressing.
Make sure that you understand any religious or cultural sensitivity in your target audience so that you can avoid embarrassing yourself or your organisation and offending anyone. Never smoke, drink or eat during an engagement unless it is part of the event, like at a dinner.
#How you come across
Sometimes the way you come across in a speech is as important as what you say. Audiences can be put off you if you sound hesitant, unsure of yourself or if you sound over-confident or arrogant. Most audiences feel very comfortable and will listen to you if you are honest, warm, friendly, and show that you care about the issues affecting them. Try to keep eye-contact and to talk directly to the audience.
Never behave in an aggressive way even when someone in the audience is being rude. It is best to always stay humble and to use humour whenever possible to deal with aggressive questioners. You can be firm, but always show respect for people who disagree with you.
Never tell your audience what they should be doing, or how they should be behaving.
Never brag about your achievements or claim false victories. People understand the problems and generally know what is happening in their areas. They will not be fooled and you will set yourself up to being challenged by the audience if you do not tell the truth. This doesn’t mean that you cannot be proud of your achievements, or confident about the good things that have been done. Just do not be arrogant or claim false victories.
That's all
Thank you

-How to structure a speech
When you make a speech, a report, or any other input, it is very important that you get your message across simply and clearly and that your audience knows exactly what you are saying and where you are going. This recipe below can be used for almost any speech. It doesn’t matter how long the speech must be; just change the time you allocate to each heading to fit the time you have been given. Try to make sure that your speech always covers the following:
Issue –in your introduction make it clear exactly what you will be talking about.
Facts - give the basic facts about the issue or describe the reasons for the problem, and what will happen if nothing is done.
Options – briefly tell people what could be done about this issue or problem. Here you can describe a number of alternatives.
Proposal – clearly state what you believe is the right way to deal with the issue or problem speech with it. Always try to end your speech on a positive note and give the audience a clear way forward.
Do you know how to present your speech well.
Here have some tips.
# The same tips can be used when you communicate in meetings or in smaller groups.
# Do not start your speech with five minutes of greetings or welcoming of everybody. For example don’t go on to mention all the honourables, chairpeople of organisations present, comrades, ladies and gentlemen and so on. It becomes boring and you may leave people out. Just start with "Honoured guests, Madam Chair, friends."
# Start strongly so that you get people’s attention. You can use a joke, but only if it is relevant and really funny. It is often better to start by saying why you are there and what the issue is. For eg. " A terrible tragedy is waiting to happen to young people in our community – today we meet together as parents to discuss what we can do about the rapid spreading of HIV and AIDS in this area."
# Don’t fidget and try not to make "er" and "um" noises, which take people’s attention away from what you are saying. Look confident and calm and speak with authority.
# Make eye contact – look at different parts of the audience so that everyone feels that you are making eye contact with them.
# Try to speak as naturally as possible, don’t read a speech – rather make notes that you can refer to.
# Keep your language simple and don’t use any jargon or abbreviations, which your audience may not understand.
# Try to keep your voice as low as possible and to speak slowly without boring people or treating them as if they are either deaf or stupid. Don’t speak so slowly that people get bored or insulted and don’t race through your speech.
# Keep your tone normal and human, in the same way that you would when you speak to a respected person in your family. Don’t raise your voice too much, start shouting, or speak as if you are addressing a very formal meeting. Try to change both the pace [speed] and tone [sound] of your speaking, in a natural way, so that people don’t fall asleep.
# Don’t be scared to use feelings when you speak but never become over-dramatic. It is good to show that you genuinely care about issues.
# Try not to depress your audience - when you share problems with them make sure that you always point out a way forward to overcome the problems.
# Don’t humiliate people publicly when they ask questions or disagree with you. Even if they are talking nonsense, try to be nice to them. People do not like leaders who behave in a nasty way.
Thank you

How to Prepare for a Presentation
The first step in preparing for a presentation is to choose a topic that really interests you.
Sometimes, however, your instructor will assign a topic for presentation. In that case, you
may still have some flexibility in the specific area or approach to your topic, and you should try to
present an area of your topic or take an approach to the assigned topic that is more interesting to
you. There are several reasons why selecting a topic that really interests you is important. It
ensures that you will learn something of value to you personally. It also is very likely that if you
are interested in the topic, other students in your class will be, too. It is going to take time to
prepare for your presentation, and the more interested you are in your topic, the easier it will be to
keep motivated as you do your research and preparation. And, last but definitely not least, when
it comes time to give your presentation, you will be more enthusiastic in your presentation, and
will have less reliance on your speaking notes, if you are talking about something you are
interested in or even passionate about.
If you want to sell a house, real estate brokers say the three most important things are “location,
location, and location.” If you want to “sell” your presentation to others, meaning doing a good job
of getting your points across to an interested audience, the three most important things are
“practice, practice, and practice.” Find out how long you will have to speak. Actually, it can be
easier to have a little more time than a little less; the less time you will have, the more you will
have to analyze what you are going to leave out (you will have more than enough material after
your preparation). Each time you practice your speech, time it with a clock. The first time you
practice, you will probably find that it took more or less than your allotted time. As you continue to
practice, you will need to add or remove material so your speech will fit into the assigned number
of minutes.
Most students and even experienced public speakers find it helpful to have a sheet of paper with
key words or phrases in front of them. It is best not to keep a script or even anything with
complete sentences on this sheet, because you will be tempted to read from it. You know from
experience that when someone reads your attention tends to leave that speaker, making for a
boring presentation and one you will less likely learn from. Index cards, when repeatedly flipped,
can be distracting to the audience, so one sheet of paper may work better. Some speakers like
to use large type for their notes so they are easier to see at a glance. As you practice, imagine
that you are explaining things to a friend of yours.

Assalamualaikum Pn Emilia and all my friends.
The fear of public speaking is a very common fear, but it is also one that can be tackled. With some practice and a few presentation techniques, you can deliver a good presentation that leaves a positive lasting impression.
1. Calm the nervous.
It's natural to be nervous before you're about to make a big presentation. In fact, sometimes nervousness can be a good thing, motivating you to practice and do well. You shouldn't focus so much on the nervousness, however, because that amplifies its effect. The more you focus on your nervousness, the bigger it will seem and the more nervous you will be. Keep your blood circulating in the lead-up to your presentation. This can range from wiggling your toes to make sure your feet don't go to sleep to taking a walk. It is also imperative that you keep yourself well-oxygenated. So take deep breaths to calm yourself and, if possible, get some fresh air.
2. Starting.
Even if the presentation you make is in a relaxed and informal environment, there are still a few basic things that you should do when starting your presentation. First and foremost, get everyone's attention. This can be done with a simple phrase that should quiet the room and draw everyone's focus to the presentation. Welcome your audience and introduce yourself. The more personable you are and the more the audience members feel that they can relate to you, the more lasting an impression your presentation is likely to have. Also, introducing the purpose of the presentation will get everyone in the zone to focus on the topic at hand.

Salam Madam..
Thank you for sharing with us on how to start a presentation. Here I want to share about this topic.
First of all, before you start your presentation make sure you have already prepared well on what you are talking about. Make research on your topic.
Next, before you start giving your presentation, greet the audience. You need to introduce yourself. You can start your presentation with a fact, history or question to the audience. Then you need to introduce the topic and your agenda for the presentation and then go for the introduction of the topic.
That all I can share about how to start a presentation. Thank you.

When people do a presentation in front their audience, these tips also help to improve presentation and make it more impacts to the audience.
1. Know the needs of your audience and match your contents to their needs.
2. Know your material thoroughly. Put what you have to say in a logical sequence. Ensure your speech will be captivating to your audience as well as worth their time and attention.
3. When you are presenting in front of an audience, you are performing as an actor is on stage. How you are being perceived is very important. Dress appropriately for the occasion. Be solemn if your topic is serious. Present the desired image to your audience. Look pleasant, enthusiastic, confident, proud, but not arrogant. Remain calm. Appear relaxed, even if you feel nervous.
4. Speak to your audience, listen to their questions, respond to their reactions, adjust and adapt. If what you have prepared is obviously not getting across to your audience, change your strategy mid-stream if you are well prepared to do so. If you are short of time, know what can be safely left out. If you have extra time, know what could be effectively added. Always be prepared for the unexpected.

How to Start a Speech
Do's and Don'ts
A speech’s introduction is its most important part.
If you lose your audience in the first 15 seconds to 2 minutes, you might as well pack your bags and go home. You’ll never – or almost never – regain their attention.
Here are some tips to help you get through the first few moments of your speech:
1. Do Memorize your First Sentence
For the first 10 seconds or so of any speech your mind is doing its best to fight off an anxiety attack. It’s not the time to be creative. Write out your first sentence or two. And memorize it. (By the time you’ve made it through those first daunting moments, your mind will begin to function again.)
2. Don't Start with a Joke
Unless you’re a gifted comic, the chances of getting an audience to laugh at a joke right at the start are miniscule. Why invite disaster? Making some self-deprecating, humorous remark, on the other hand, is a great way to begin. (You can, if appropriate, tell a joke later in your presentation, after the audience has warmed up to you.)
3. Don't Waste Time with Pleasantries
Winston Churchill called opening pleasantries “banalities.” Don’t tell the audience how happy you are to be speaking to them. Don’t tell them what a great group of people they are. Don’t acknowledge the dignitaries in the audience. It all sounds like so much hooey. (You can make similar comments later in your speech when they’ll sound more sincere.)
4. Do Jump Right In
Tell a story. Make a startling assertion. Ask a provocative question. Cite a brief quote or outrageous statistic. Whatever you do, just do it. Don’t introduce your introduction.
5. Don't Apologize
“I’m sorry I didn’t have more time to prepare.” “Please excuse me, I’m not a very good speaker.” “I hope you’ll overlook my nervousness.” Apologies are either an insult to the audience or an invitation not to be taken seriously. Don’t put yourself and your insecurities up front. Focus instead on the audience and on your message.
The time and effort you put into crafting a powerful opening – whichever strategy you choose – will pay off. It will win you the audience’s attention, respect, and goodwill. And it will make you feel more confident.

One common way to open a speech is to tell your audience what you're going to tell them - in other words, lay out in simple bullet point or outline form the key main ideas around which your speech is focused. The following article presents effective public speaking tips with a focus on ways to craft openings to your speeches that grab hold of the audience and carry them into the world of your choosing.
How to open a speech with a Story: Everyone loves a good story. Some of the greatest speeches of all time start with a parable or a personal anecdote. People are prone to perceive a speech as something dry and boring. What better way to pleasantly surprise them, then, than with an interesting tale?
with a Joke: Effective public speaking tips do not all recommend this and this technique is less universal than storytelling, as not everybody tells a joke well. Know whether or not you are one of these types of people before deciding to open with a joke, for it can fail as effectively as it succeeds. If you do have confidence in your ability to tell a joke with the kind of delivery that allows the punch line to have its humorous impact, then by all means tell one. Just be sure to choose one that relates in some way to the message of your speech and/or the composition of your audience. Otherwise you may do a decent job developing rapport with the crowd, but then lose them moments later when you start delivering a completely unrelated speech.
with a Quote: One great thing about using a quotation to open a speech is that you invoke the reputation and memory of the famous person quoted in doing so. Find a quote that naturally leads into the beginning of your speech and comes from a speaker that may lend credibility to the message you're about to deliver.
with a Question: There are two ways to use a question to start a speech - to introduce the audience to the theme of the speech, or to build rapport between you and them. Starting a speech with a rhetorical question - particularly one that's pressing to the members of your audience - introduces your speech as an answer to that question. It's a simple and digestible format that people can easily understand and be drawn into. Choose a question that probes the heart of the your speech and you've effectively paved the way from the outset for your audience to see exactly where you'll be taking them. Or alternatively ask a direct question that is not rhetorical - in the manner of, "How many people have??" - and you've instantly turned a passive audience into active participants in your speech and its purpose.
with a Statistic: People like facts and figures. They are the solid ground on which are beliefs, values, and ideals are built. Whether your goal is to inform and educate the group or persuade them to your line of thinking, a potent and relevant statistic gives you an instant credibility and authority. Just be sure that you pick a current, relevant, and accurate statistic, and that you present the source of the information.
Get all your speeches started off right. Learn how to open a speech in a way that captures the audience's attention and draws them in to what you have to say and you'll have infinitely greater success having your message understood and your purpose in giving the speech achieved.

The beginning of the speech should be brief and bright. It must evoke instant interest. This is very important, as the audience will be comparatively receptive in the beginning, eager to know what you will be saying. It is very easy to impress at this stage. But this has to be carefully worked out in advance. The introduction ought to be short. Even it can be dispensed with altogether and you can go straight into the heart of your topic.
You will be able to win the immediate attention of the audience by:
* Arousing their curiosity.
* Narrating a human-interest story.
* Beginning with a specific illustration.
* Using an exhibit.
* Posing a question to the audience.
* Opening with a striking quotation.
* Giving out startling facts.
But never attempt to start the speech with a joke or humor unless you are well conversant with the narration. Only a few are gifted with this talent. Please be aware that humor is a hair-trigger affair. One should have the basic ability to make the audience laugh. The story by itself may not be funny; but the way in which it is said makes it a success.
Never open the speech with an apology. If you have not prepared to deliver the speech well, the audience will find this out in no time. They have not assembled to hear your apologies.
Beginning of a speech can be compared to the techniques that writers use to hook the reader's interest at the commencement of a story or article.
You can learn more from them on to how to open a speech than your trying to study a collection of delivered speeches.
Do not make your opening too formal. Make it appear to be normal, interesting and casual. The easiest way to do this is to refer to something that has just happened or something that just has been said or published.

Assalamualaikum to Mdm. Emilia.
This is something from what I have learnt and I want to share with everyone. This is some tips on to start the presentation.
1. Be brief. Aim for between one and three minutes. Five minutes is too long. How well the audience knows you should determine how long the introduction is.
2. Never use the old cliché that the speaker needs no introduction. If the introduction ties the speaker to the audience and the topic then each introduction is unique, plus there is always something new about every speaker.
3. Look pleasant and eager to speak as you are being introduced. Audience members will be looking at you and forming judgments as the introduction is being given. Don’t be writing a last reminder on your notes at this time.
4. A key to a good introduction is preparation and practice (together with a healthy dose of enthusiasm). These need not take long once you understand how to go about them.
5. Use a few key words and phrases which you can transfer to a sheet of paper and bring with you. This will be your standby in the case of a mental freeze, but if you have properly prepared and practices you will almost certainly not need it.

this is about the way to start the presentation.
First of all you need to grasp your audience's attention within the first 30 seconds of your speech or presentation. If you don't grab them in that short space of time, you could lose them. The people you are speaking to could simply look at you, but be thinking of the next coffee break, the shopping they need to do or that attractive person sitting in front of them. Without gaining the immediate attention of the audience the moment you start to speak, you could effectively be talking to yourself.
Something like a gunshot, fireworks or a troupe of naked dancers should grab the audience attention, sure enough. But your problem is you have to follow them - and that may well be an anti-climax for the audience. Dramatic starts to presentations and speeches can often backfire. People remember the sudden drama, but often cannot recall what the speaker actually said.
What you need are openings to your speech that make the audience want to listen to the rest of what you have to say. In other words, the stunning start to the speech or presentation has to be something you say, rather than a dramatic device.
There are several options you can choose from, but audience research shows that the most preferable attention-grabbing opening you can make is an anecdote; tell a personal story, preferably funny. Most business presenters try to be serious, or set the agenda right at the start. Time and time again, audiences report that this is the sure way to lose their attention. Yet, time and time again audiences say that personal anecdotes are a great way to start a business presentation - even serious ones.
If an anecdote isn't appropriate, there are other options. Starting with a question, or a series of linked questions, is a favourite loved by audiences. Similarly, a quotation by a famous person is also a good opener to a talk or presentation.
Other possibilities include a statistic or a controversial statement about the audience or the subject area. An appropriate poem is also a good start.
Things to avoid to open your presentation or speech include jokes, role plays or anything where you are trying to be 'clever'. The audience may be offended and therefore will distance themselves from you, lessening your impact. And even if you get a good producer for a major conference speech, try to avoid their convincing cries that you should make some kind of dramatic entrance. It's great for the show's production team - but not for the audience.
No matter what the size of the audience, you can use the suggestions here. Whether you speak to a small group or several thousand, anecdotes, questions, quotations, statistics and controversial statements will always work.

Public speaking can be very stressful. Whenever I get up in front of a crowd I go through a panic moment. It takes a lot of discipline, practice and preparation to put on a good presentation and even knowing what you need to know can be hard.
Here i've got some tips for starting the presentation that i do.
1.Mental and Physical Preparation Before Presentation
h3. Mental and Physical Preparation Before Your Presentation
I’ve found that the more prepared I am, the more confident I feel. This makes for a better presentation. As you get comfortable speaking you’ll naturally feel more confident and the need to prepare (and time it takes) will not be so important. Make sure you know and feel comfortable with your material and practice a few times.
-Speak slower.
-Talk to individuals in the crowd.
-Think before you speak. Take pauses.
2.Preparing Your Support Materials
If you want to share your information with people who couldn’t be there, try writing an article. Have simple to follow notes to go along with your slides and major talking points. They should serve as a reminder, not something for you to read from.
3.Giving The Presentation
While you don’t want to spend too much time while in the midst of your presentation thinking about what to say or do, but there are a few things you should remember when speaking.Think positive.Keep your intro short and strong. People want to know who you are, but they also want to get into the meat of your talk. Keep it slow and steady. Pause when you need to take a breath, you’ll think better.Learn from your mistakes. I know that I learn a little every time I get up and speak.Be prepared for interruptions and questions. If you are doing well, you’ll have lots of questions.

2. Welcome them
3. Introduce yourself

For example,we try to get their attention by using a best performance like communicate with them,as we know,eyes contact.
Do some joke to make them not sleepy or feel not bored when they listen to our speech.
Why not we show them a short video but not movie. using this like we give them break.
We also can use cartoon character, don't be mature.make them comfortable with us.

thanks madam for the tips. it is very useful for me. now i can see how to start a presentation.
i would like to add a little bit about the attention getter according what have i learned and read from the internet.
first, we can use picture and video to capture the audience attention. as a normal human being, we love to see a picture or video because it is very interesting. so, use this to attract audience and make them listen to what will you say.
second, we can use a shocking statistic. using a shocking statistic will make them sit and listen to what will you say because it is something new and they don't even know about it. so it will make them feel excited to hear your talk.
third, you also can use humor in your speech. it not also can be very entertaining to attract the audience to hear your speech but also it can help make the audience not too boring to hear your speech.
there is much more to type here but i think this will be enough. i hope it can help.
thank you.

Presentation planning is the first step toward producing a successful presentation. That may sound like stating the obvious. But it’s amazing how many people, when asked to give a presentation, jump right in producing slides without having a clear idea of what their objectives are or how to achieve them.
Planning presentations, however, involves more than simply jotting down a few points of what you are planning to say and show to your audience.
There are at least five or six different presentation formats depending on what you want to achieve and the type of audience you’ll have. For example, do you want to:
* Inform employees about recent departmental changes.
* Motivate a sales team.
* Explain why a project is running over budget.
* Educate students on a new subject.
* Persuade workers to adopt a new production method.
* Entertain at the retirement of a colleague.
Proper planning will help you identify your main objectives and select the most appropriate format for you audience.
Presentation planning is based around three broad questions that you need to answer. These are:
* What is the purpose of your presentation?
* Who is the audience for your presentation?
* What is the location of your presentation?
The following articles look at these questions in detail and give examples around which you can base your presentation. You’ll see why planning is so important and discover how, if done properly, it can provide you with the confidence to stand up in front of a group of people safe in the knowledge that you have done everything you can to ensure a successful presentation.
