成为超级演说家：9分钟学会9大秘籍

When we are nervous we tend to talk too fast. Get a videotape of one of your presentations to see how you did — you may be surprised at the pace of your talk.
当我们感到紧张的时候，往往会加快语速。观摩一下自己的一场演讲录影——你可能会被自己的语速吓到。

7. Keep the lights on
7. 不要关灯。

If you are speaking in a meeting room, etc. the temptation is to turn the lights off so that the slides look better. Turning the lights off puts all the focus on the screen. The audience should be looking at you more than the screen.
如果你在一间会议室里做演讲，你会想关掉房间的灯，以便更清楚地看到幻灯片上的内容。关灯将会把所有的关注都集中在屏幕上。但实际上，观众应该关注的是你，而不是屏幕。

8. Keep it simple.
8. 保持简单易懂。

Avoid cluttered slides. Be brave and use lots of "white space" or, how the pros call it, "negative space." The less "chunk“ you have on your slide, the more powerful your message will become. Already Leonardo da Vinci knew: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
避免杂乱无章的幻灯片。勇敢一点，并且大量使用“空白区域”，或者如专家所称的“负空间”。你幻灯片上的垃圾越少，你传达的信息就会越强。达芬奇早就知道这个道理：“简约是复杂的最高境界”

9. Talk "to" the audience.
9. “面对”观众说话。

Never turn your back towards the audience. You do not want to conduct a monologue with the screen. Look at your audience instead and make good eye contact. Try looking at individuals rather than scanning the group.
千万不要背对观众。你并不像跟屏幕演一场独角戏吧。看着你的观众并且常常跟他们眼神交流。试着专注看每一个观众，而不是扫视一群人。
