You must be confident what you are presenting and have a proper knowledge about the subject what you are going to present.


Presenting content without understanding show your lack of  knowledge  about the subject. Presenter should explain  the things properly and accuratly without looking at the slides again and again. Looking at the slides prove that presenter don't have enough knowledge about the subject and is not fully sure and confident . By doing this you will surely loose your audience's attention.

Knowledge about  the subject reflects the presenter's ability to understand the things. If you are confident about what you are talking about then audience will believe and pay attention in your presentation .For getting good knowledge about the subject presenter should read about the topic thoroughly and prepare well how he is going to present in the front of the public.

In many cases presenters just read their slides which doesn't show any interest in the topic and as a result no audience will listen to the slides. This also shows that the presenter is not at all prepared or he or she hasn't research properly about what their key point is. So, start preparing ahead of time and have knowledge about the subject.
