A demonstration with or without an exhibit

In the longer talk to secure action you might make three, or at most, four points. They could be uttered in less than a minute. To recite them to an audience would be dull and boring.  It is the support material you use. This is what gives sparkle and interest to your talk. By the use of incidents, comparisons and demonstrations, you make your main ideas vivid ; by the use of statistics and testimony you substantiate the truth and emphasize the importance of your main points.

We often use demonstrations to explain some complicated scientific data or something which is not very common or familiar with general audience. I also can see these types of speaking techniques when I attend a seminar to learn some technical technologies or trainings.

This demonstration technique can help an audience to understand something easily and that will motivate the audience to connect with the speaker.

From this chapter, I learned several techniques and some of them are very common and we often used them without knowing that we are using these speech techniques.

In a long talk, the speaker is very apt to cover too much ground that at the close the listeners are a little hazy about all the points. So, they are misled into assuming that because these points are crystal clear in their own minds. I don’t think it is a good idea to assume something without checking and all these techniques will help a speaker to communicate more clearly with an audience.
