0:00Fact: Presentations are not easy.
0:03But what's worse is a group presentation.
0:06My name is Carl Kwan; lecturer, consultant, voice actor & radio personality helping businesses
0:12with presentations, promo videos & marketing.
0:16If you've ever given a group presentation, you would know that group presentations pose
0:21their own challenges.
0:24One such challenge is knowing what to say when you finish what you have to say and have
0:29to hand the presentation over to the next speaker.
0:33So here is a simple, three step process for when you have to introduce the next speaker:
0:39The first thing you have to do is summarise what you said.
0:43You can say something like...
0:44"So that is an introduction to the song Gangnam style."
0:48Now you're going to introduce the next speaker.
0:51It's actually pretty simple, but what I want you to notice is that there are three distinct
0:56parts.
0:57See if you can figure out what those three parts are.
1:00Ready?
1:01"Here now is Nathan McMurray, Attorney at Law, to talk about the legal ramifications
1:07of doing the Gangnam Style dance while at work."
1:12Did you get them?
1:13I knew you would.
1:14But for those that didn't catch those three parts, here they are:
1:19First, I introduced the person's name by saying, "Here now is Nathan McMurray."
1:25Second, I told you his title, "Attorney at Law."
1:28If the person you are introducing doesn't have a title, then you can tell us where he
1:34or she's from, or just something to help us understand who the person is.
1:40Third, I told you what he was going to talk about by saying, "to talk about…"
1:45Okay, by now you have just summarised what you said, introduced the next speaker, and
1:51now you're finished, right?
1:53Wrong!
1:54This was a three-step process, remember?
1:56And step three is where you tell the speaker that it's time for him or her to speak.
2:02All you have to say is their name.
2:05Just like this: "Nathan."
2:07Make sure you use the same intonation that I just used and that you also look over to
2:12the person and motion to them with your hand like I just did.
2:16There you go, a simple, three step process for when you have to introduce the next speaker.
2:23First, summarise what you said.
2:25Second, introduce the next speaker.
2:27And third, tell the next speaker it's time to speak.
