what are you presenting on?Originally posted by kopiosatu:you're not supposed to do that.
hands must be in open position, between the chest and navel preferably.
presenting with visual aid is easy.
talking about a subject you're not ready to talk about isn't.
impromptu speaking is when they just give you a subject while you're standing up there and you just talk about it

some people do their presenting by pretending to hate everybody..the sense of superiority over the audience.
for me, i find it harder to talk to my peers than my juniors. When talking to juniors, i keep thinking "Haha, noobs..listen to me u b1tches. Breathe the air that i breathe"![]()
