Explain the three principles for using a visual aid in a speech. Give examples of how to use each correctly and why.
What will be an ideal response?
- When using a visual aid in a speech, avoid distracting listeners' attention from the message-for example, avoid misspelled words on your poster. The audience will be so mesmerized by the typo that they will miss what you are saying.
- Do not obstruct the audience's view-for example, do not stand in front of the projector showing transparencies. While listeners are concentrating on looking around you, they will miss what you are saying.
- Speak to the audience, not the visual aid-for example, do not turn your back to the audience to point at a line graph. You will lose eye contact with your audience.
- Student examples may vary.
