  1. Put Humor in a Presentation Step 1.jpg
    1
    Start your presentation with an exposition. It's going to have to have a climax, but for now, you're only meeting the clients (audience). Make sure to make eye contact with people who have a lot of influence most often (i.e. teacher or authority) but also to include those who seem less interested in your conversation. You will have to know how to not offend people, and keep your focus off of subjects that some may find inappropriate.

EditTips

  • If you mess up a joke, just move on. Don't look too embarrassed, if you stay calm it will seem like you never made a mistake.
  • Search everywhere for great jokes, you never know where you'll find one.
  • Never have more than 10 jokes (unless your speech is really long)
  • Perform your new speech in front of family to see their reaction, they can give you some great tips.

EditWarnings

  • Some people may think you're odd if they don't get the punch line. But that's just one person out of ten that like your speech.
