Fill up the screen with lots and lots informationwritten in sentence form. Or even bullet after bulletafter bullet. The visuals in your presentation shouldhelp guide your speaking, not replace it. Peoplecan read faster than they can speak, and theydon‟t want to hear you just read from the slides.Plus, the more you put on a slide, the smaller thetext will get and the smaller the text gets, theharder it is to read. Then, you will annoy youraudience as they try to follow along, but falter intheir attempts. An annoyed audience is not ahappy audience and an unhappy audience won‟treally give you the attention your hard andcarefully researched presentation deserves. Inother words, did you really read all of this? Wouldyou expect your audience to?
