Hey there it's Carl Kwan here.
In a previous video, I talked about how to
create epic content for your presentations.
In this video, I'm going to follow that up
and teach you three script writing tips because
ideas are not really useful if you can't put
them down in writing.
If you can't write right.
Right?
But first of all, why do we need to write
a presentation script?
The reason is because the presentation is
just like a play, or a movie, or a TV show.
You need to have a script otherwise you won't
know what to say, you won't know if you made
your point, or if you reached your goal or
whether or not your presentation meets the
time requirements.
So a script is essential.
Yes I realize that you are worried about having
to memorize the script, but we will work on
memorizing your presentation in a future video.
So tip number one is write or map out your
presentation structure.
You want to put down the beginning, middle
and end for your presentation.
The beginning is the introduction, the middle
are the points or ideas that you want to present
and the end is your conclusion and call to
action.
You can do this by making a mind map, or making
a text document with bullet points.
Whatever helps you get your structure down
before you start writing.
Tip number two: Write conversationally
What you want to do is pretend that one of
your target audience members is sitting in
front of you and you want to write as if you
were talking to a friend.
You could also pretend that you are explaining
your presentation topic to your grandmother
or to a 10-year-old child.
The point is you want your presentation to
sound natural and to be easily understood.
And tip Number three is: read it out loud
After you finish writing your presentation,
read it out loud to yourself.
Check to see if your presentation sounds natural,
if the length is OK, see if your point is
clear, and if you have used any jargon or
slang that your audience wouldn't understand.
So there you go, you know have three tips
to help you write your presentation script.
Tip number one was to prepare the structure,
tip number two was to write conversationally
and tip number three was to read your presentation
script out loud.
Hope you found those three tips helpful.
