School is coming and that means giving presentations every once in a while. A lot of people are nervous when giving presentations and I have the same thing. All does eyes pointed at you. Well, you know what they say at Apple: “There’s an app for that!”. If you want to learn how to react in certain situations during a presentation, if you want to be able to see when the audience is bored, then the application ‘Presenter Pro’ from Rexi Media is just the right at for you.

Here are three examples of tips given by this app:

1. Watch out for signs that they want to speak. Some presenters are so concerned with getting all the message to fit in that they ignore simple cues such as intakes of breath, irritated finger tapping, finger lift of a waving of the pen. Give them a voice whenever possible. The rest of the audience will appreciate the variety of pace, format, and voice, and your ability to adjust to the moment.

2. Check for disengagement. If you notice participants leaning back, legs stretched out, head in hands, blank stares, frequent reach for the glass of water… it is time to re-engage them and change something about your presentation style. Get them involved by asking questions or inviting them to offer additional comments to what you said. Consider varying your presentation format every five-six minutes to create unpredictability and keep them interested.

3. Look for hidden emotions. Sometimes listeners may want to conceal disagreement with your message, either because they wish to avoid confrontation or are too embarrassed to speak up. When people want to mask their emotions, they will reduce the amount of body gestures, they are quieter, have toned down expressions, fewer eyebrow flashes, a tense jaw, and fake smile (no wrinkles around the eyes). Their shoulders are tense. When people touch their face, or smooth their hair, or wring their hands – these may be signals of comforting themselves from the problems they are concealing from you. Soften your voice, which can help to stop resentful body language. On the other hand signals, such as micro-nods, uncrossed arms, and eye-contact typically indicate that your listeners are accepting your message.
