Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Speaking to the back of the room will help you adjust your volume so that you project your voice effectively. Your audience may need a few minutes to get used to your style of speaking so speak slowly especially at the beginning. Nothing destroys audience attention more than a monotone presenter so it is important to modulate your voice.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Smiling is a must. It projects energy and makes you appear happy to be presenting and encourages your audience to smile in return. Eye contact is critical for success, but should apply to everyone in your audience, not just the decision makers or those sitting front and center. You should also move about the room and gesture while you speak.
