One tip I’d also mention. A bizarre one and minor but makes a difference. If nervous. Don’t have your hand in your pocket. I was always told never to do it as if you have loose change or your keys in there you end up rattling them, it’s distracting to the audience and almost feeds their nervousness of the speaker.
Antonio believe it or not I actually gave a speech not too long ago, where I actually quoted you! It was in my Public Speaking 101 class. I gave a speech about why men should step up their style! Also, as a communications major this really helped!
I give presentations often. This was a great "course correction" for me. I now see that I was getting comfortable. TOO comfortable. EVERY audience is a "first time" and deserves great energy. Thanks for this.
College level courses elaborate more on these points while giving you practice, but if you're just getting started, this vid is all you need so long as you take it seriously. Where I work, we have these Monday morning meetings. These are intended as a review of the week prior; accidents, production ororganization issues, etc. You guys wouldn't belive the lack of preparation at such a high level with a facility of just about a thousand people. Worst offense is everything is typed out on power point slides with the speaker having their back to the audience (never, and I mean never turn your back, step off to the side of the stage if necessary or turn slightly) and reading said slides word for word in a flat tone.
Thank you Antonio, i think your video was very profound! Just a little more things one may consider prior to giving a presentation are: 1) Grammatical errors. These may result in a negative outcome and should be noted. ~e.g "I told him I ain't going to do it" 2) Colloquialism These are words and phrases used informally. Sometimes they are unclear, and people may fail to understand your intended meaning. 3) Jargon The technical language developed by a professional group, such as electricians, computer operators, physicians and economists. ~e.g InCo, brief, CPU, ICU. It can really be confusing when individuals who comprehend such terms attempt communication with those who do not. 4) Sexist, Racist, and Heterosexist Language. Language can communicate prejudice, & can silence some members of co-cultures as it privileges others. Also to be avoided are generalizations and stereotypes › beliefs, based on previously formed opinions and attitudes, that all members of a group are more or less alike. 5) Clichés An expression that has lost originality and force through overuse. ~e.g No pain, no gain. Clichés can be a shorthand way to express a common thought. They may be unclear to individuals who are unfamiliar witg the underlying idea. *Be the most dashing person in the room, and present like it. 😉
Maybe you could do a video on the basics of business writing, specifically emails. I've noticed your emails, and if you were to go in depth correcting them it'd teach a lot
Certainly one of the best topics for your college crowd. Definitely, something I still think on and struggle with. Proud to be with your channel since the first couple thousand! Many thanks +Real Men Real Style
One issue that can cause me to lose interest is speech patterns with added words-like, you know & non word sounds. It goes with #6. Regardless of the information that can lose an audience just as fast as any of the other items you discussed. Great article thanks for all your content.
Yeah. It's tough with two kids under 2 yrs old. I have made and recorded several projects since then, I just haven't made the time to edit them. Cheers.
Honestly, one of the best things I ever did was join a local Toastmasters group. If you want to learn the skills of public speaking and presentation in an environment that's encouraging, but also helps in giving advice, I recommend it. You get to make friends and contacts in different places, plus it's a fun way to improve your public engagement capabilitites.
Hey Antonio, love your content! Helps me every time. Just wanted to point out that two of your buttons on the left arm of the jacket are unbuttoned, and people notice😉
Great info! I'd like to add/suggest another; #11: Eliminate the, "uh" & "um," even saying, "like" every other word. I always find speakers who do these very distracting!
Hi Antonio! Maybe you would like to make a video about cutlery? That's very interesting topic. Not many people know how to use proper cutlery. By the way... Great job! I'm from Poland and I watch you regularly. Best regards Lukasz
Nice video, practice makes perfect - would recommend joining a local Toastmasters group to practice. Definitely best way to improve and get feedback after each speech.
Point 2, and 9!!! Please do more of these videos! I know clothing and style is your strength, but I find this so refreshing in some ways!! Well done Antonio! :)
Antonio, this is a great video! These are tips that I had drilled into me during my bachelors and Masters programs. One thing that I would add is to keep things simple because, regardless your audience and their expertise, over complicating a presentation will make many audience members tune out. What do you think?
Please do an style advise for really cold winters! I live in a part of europe where temperatures in winter can reach about -20°C (about -4,5°F) and it's really hard to find elegant clothing that'll withstand these temperatures... Actually it should be easy to take layers off and still look good. So if you get from outside into a warm room, you can handle the Change somehow... Hope you can help me :)
I don't know if this is an issue in the U.S, but a pet peeve I see all the time with people holding lectures/presentations in my country is to say "eh" between two sentences. Example: "Today I'm going to hold this presentation. Eh, and I will cover the following things..." I'd rather hear the person taking a small pause rather than hearing "eh" all the time. I also don't mind stuttering since the other person is maybe nervous or has a disability, but hearing the person saying "eh" drives me nuts. I also had a problem with a college professor once who literally had no eye contact; he was turning around to his left with his arms crossed and his eyes either facing the floor or the ceiling, and his way of presenting sounded more like he was philosophizing for himself. A third thing that I don't personally recommend, but don't mind if other people are comfortable with it, is to script the presentation. One problem is that it can sound unnatural and like you're just reciting something, and another one is that you're so determined to say a specific sentence that if you forget it, the entire presentation falls down for you and you get nervous. I therefore instead recommend writing down which topics and "chapters" you're supposed to go through, and then research so much that you can speak around them like it was an everyday conversation.
I feel an important point that you didn't mention was being aware of your body language. People communicate more with their body language compared to speaking and if a presenter is nervous, the audience will sense it.
6 and 7 are important points i believe, i have been in presentations with persons who knew nothing about the topic and were boring with nonsense lol. Also taking too much time talking over and over the same.
+RealManRealStyle I am thinking of wearing a blue and gray medium sized check style sport jacket with sort of black and tan waistcoat with gray pants white shirt so should i wear it
George - I think the combo works. It's all about contrast and layering patterns my friend. Join the Facebook group as well if you want to get more opinions on your oufit: facebook.com/groups/rmrscommunity/
Another big mistake people make, is not making eye contact. Sure you don't have to stare down everyone, but once in awhile you want to stop looking down at the paper you're reading from or from the side you're on. Make eye contact with someone for just a few seconds to make sure people are still paying attention. Also people that don't make at least some eye contact are usually seen as either they don't know what they are talking about or are lying.
The worst mistake that's not on this list: Thinking you know everything, when you don't. Everytime when someone gives an advice about my boss' presentation skill, he'd just brush it off, thinking that the person just doesn't know what he/she is talking about, no matter how good their intention was.
What you should do when your audience are just not interested? What if everyone just came to give their presentation and want to leave as soon as their presentation is over?

Nice video Antonio you have got yourself a new subscriber.
Welcome to the community Sebastian!

Exactly! Body language is definitely important.
Antonio I have a presentation today @9 this was literally I life saver thx u
How did it go ?
Wow! Good luck Mike.
Good luck
Antonio believe it or not I actually gave a speech not too long ago, where I actually quoted you! It was in my Public Speaking 101 class. I gave a speech about why men should step up their style! Also, as a communications major this really helped!
Hey Antonio, why do you have 4 buttons on your right sleeve and 2 on your left one? Please update us on this. I really need to know.
I give presentations often. This was a great "course correction" for me. I now see that I was getting comfortable. TOO comfortable. EVERY audience is a "first time" and deserves great energy. Thanks for this.
Hey, Antonio Check your cuffs on this video. Two buttons on your left arm four on your right
Antonio you hit all the right points. I think most important is just being comfortable talking to new people and to practice, practice, practice.
College level courses elaborate more on these points while giving you practice, but if you're just getting started, this vid is all you need so long as you take it seriously.
Where I work, we have these Monday morning meetings. These are intended as a review of the week prior; accidents, production ororganization issues, etc. You guys wouldn't belive the lack of preparation at such a high level with a facility of just about a thousand people.

Great points made. Introverts who present often take people by surprise...a pleasant surprise.
ANTONIO THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO ON MAKING A GOOD PRESENTATION. YOU ARE IN THE TOP 5 PERCENT!
Thank you Antonio, i think your video was very profound!

Solid list here Methembe!

Thanks Antonio, I feel like I've just leveled up a bit

Great video! I need to know all of this info. for when I do get a good design job and have to present to bosses, peers, and clients. 👍🏼
I’ve be improving myself since I found this channel.
I've always been bad at public speaking. That's why I forced myself to try out a YT channel. To get out of my comfort zone. Good tips, Toño.
Good one!
Your last video was 7 months ago, though. But they're nice videos.
Yeah. It's tough with two kids under 2 yrs old. I have made and recorded several projects since then, I just haven't made the time to edit them. Cheers.
Perfect. I'm going to show this video to my next class on leadership.
Sounds great!
I have a school presentation later and this totally helped!

Hi Antonio!
Maybe you would like to make a video about cutlery? That's very interesting topic. Not many people know how to use proper cutlery.
By the way... Great job!
I'm from Poland and I watch you regularly.

Excellent video Antonio, keep it up!
Will do!

KISS principle works!
It does indeed!
What brand is the sport coat you are wearing in this video?
Please do an style advise for really cold winters!
I live in a part of europe where temperatures in winter can reach about -20°C (about -4,5°F) and it's really hard to find elegant clothing that'll withstand these temperatures...
Actually it should be easy to take layers off and still look good.
So if you get from outside into a warm room, you can handle the Change somehow...
Hope you can help me :)
Pittbull - Have you seen this? www.realmenrealstyle.com/category/clothing/cold-hot-weather/
Thank you very much!
You're the best Antonio
Thank you sir!
very good !!!!!!!
excellent
Great video man
Thank you sir!
It seems your camera is very close to you, it makes you look small and "flat". Have you tried to have the camera farther from you and zoomed in?
Dear Antonio,
Have you ever thought about giving a presentation in Hungary?

Krisztian
No plans this year.
I don't know if this is an issue in the U.S, but a pet peeve I see all the time with people holding lectures/presentations in my country is to say "eh" between two sentences. Example: "Today I'm going to hold this presentation. Eh, and I will cover the following things..."

Antonio, another big mistake is not occasionally asking your audience questions to keep them involved in the presentation.
what a coincidence i have a presentation tomorrow wow perfect timing
Good luck! Glad this video helped.
I feel an important point that you didn't mention was being aware of your body language. People communicate more with their body language compared to speaking and if a presenter is nervous, the audience will sense it.
Good episode
Great vid as always. :)
Awesome - which point resonated with you?
6 and 7 are important points i believe, i have been in presentations with persons who knew nothing about the topic and were boring with nonsense lol. Also taking too much time talking over and over the same.

Any videos on improving your voice?
hey boss can make a video about smoking plz can you tell me yes or no
The worst mistake that's not on this list: Thinking you know everything, when you don't.
Everytime when someone gives an advice about my boss' presentation skill, he'd just brush it off, thinking that the person just doesn't know what he/she is talking about, no matter how good their intention was.
Please summary of the 10 presentation mistake Quickly.
If only this video was uploaded 1 day earlier 😞
Antonio great
8: Going on for too long.
Enough said.
What you should do when your audience are just not interested? What if everyone just came to give their presentation and want to leave as soon as their presentation is over?
Wow antonio with peek lapels
Please summary this 10 presentation mistake.quickly
How to spot a Marine: they know the pain a PP presentation can cause.
