How can you make your delivery more theatrical and dramatic? Here are some great ways to breathe life into your presentation:
1. Tell a Story
Nothing adds drama to a presentation more than an action-packed, one-of-a kind tale that demonstrates your key points. Trying to teach attendees about motivation and perseverance? Talk about the time your brother finished a triathlon - in first place - while battling the Swine Flu. Giving advice on effective interview techniques? Share the story of when you were put in front of an executive "firing squad", and how you managed to keep your cool - and get the job. Interesting, thrilling stories will captivate your audience, and create a sense of excitement around your subject matter.
2. Bigger, Bolder, Louder
At the heart of every dramatic presentation is the strong use of emphasis. Drama is all about exaggeration. So, everything from your voice inflections to your hand motions and facial expressions, and even the images you use on your slides, should be far "grander" than normal, particularly at times when you want to draw attention to the most important elements within your content.
3. Act It Out
Speeches can get dry and boring. The presenter talks, the audience listens. Yawn. Whenever possible, jazz it up by acting out the ideas you're trying to convey. For example, if you're training new customer support reps on how to handle angry clients, act out a mock conversation between a caller and an agent. You can even engage your audience further by asking them to participate in these "acts".
4. Its All About the Showmanship
When you are delivering a dramatic presentation, keep in mind that you are the host, the ringmaster, the emcee. It's up to you to set the tone, and to make your presentation as entertaining as possible. Put on your showman's hat, and bring all the charm and charisma you can muster.
5. Put Yourself in the Audience's Shoes
Review your presentation from the perspective of your attendees. Go through it section by section, and analyze it carefully - for both content and delivery. If it isn't attention-grabbing, compelling, or high-impact, find a way to make it so - or remove it.
