5 Ways to Make Your Presentation More Interactive

Keeping your audience's attention for long periods of time can be one of the biggest challenges whilst speaking in front of a crowd. 

No doubt many of you have seen plenty of people scrolling through their phones, daydreaming, or even having a chat with their neighbour. 

Let’s face it, we have all sat in mundane meetings and felt a wave of boredom and lethargy sweep over us. 

As a presenter, staring out at a sea of mind-numbingly bored faces will only make you more nervous, talk faster and try and get the presentation over with asap. Certainly not the best way to get an effective and meaningful message across.

Not only can interacting with your audience help them to better understand what you are saying, they are also more likely to retain the information and pay attention.

Engaging the crowd, no matter if it big or small, is the best way to keep them focused, interested and attentive to what it is you're saying. 

So, to help you, we have compiled a definitive list of ways to make your presentation interactive.

1) Add in some visual and audio effects

Simply put, they help to make your talk not so boring.

Using music or sound effects will naturally perk

the audience up. 

Music is a great way to bond with the audience as it

evokes emotion and can help them to recall

presentation ideas.

Images, videos, and even GIFs can add a visual element

that will help draw attention back to your slides

and give people something else to focus on.

attentive.

2) Use an icebreaker

The perfect starting point is to ask a straightforward question that will warm up the audience. 

This is a simple way to turn your audience from listeners to active participants from the get go. 

Moreover, it will help you to relax before you get into the main body of the presentation and deliver your most important points.

3) Ask the audience questions

This is also valuable for the presenter as you can gain helpful insights and data about the audience, their experience of the presentation and any takeaways from it such as ways to improve.

We have a few question types that are perfect for any and every presentation. 

4) Use a straightforward presentation

Plan out your presentation to be clean, simple to follow and not too complex. Minimalism is the way to go in presentations. Keep in all essential details and allow the audience to ask about specifics during a Q&A session.

5) Make A Quiz

A quiz competition is an amazing way to have some fun with your audience. The quiz can be used both for educational purposes such as a test, but also just to have a game of trivia. Testing your audience’s knowledge in this way will mean they are more relaxed and also reinforce what they have just heard and learnt.
