How to make an oral presentation interesting? (2 Viewers)

It's a presentation on euthanasia.

Under no circumstances would it be appropriate to make a joke about it. You will make a very poor impression.

lmao i know

Use plenty of pictures, diagrams, tables etc if you're using slide presentation.

Make sure you learn your speech well so you deliver it with confidence (not always looking at palm cards).

Practice.

Haha do you think 3 days is enough to learn a speech well?

Generally not, unless your going to recite it 50 times. Better to practice it maybe twice a day over a week. But if your bad with memory, practice more.

Details would help, is it an exposition where you must take a sight, or just an educated discussion expressing both views.

Have a joke on the first slide (is that possible with euthanasia?).

Have minimum text on each slide (i'm talking less than 25 words)

Use rhetorical questions.

Speak confidently, loud enough to project your voice, and vary your tone.

Keep your speech succint, clear and logical.

Don't use too fancy animations (things flying everywhere). Keep them simple and neat

Have pictures wherever possible. Maybe even replace text with them if you don't need it.

Here's a joke

You know, when I first heard of euthanasia I thought the teacher meant youth in Asia, like she was referring to one of those Korean Pop bands. (Waits for laughs) -nobody laughs- Huge gulp of water and continue on with your speech.

Congratulations, now everybody is paying attention. Now continue with a serious tone, overwhelming figures and dramatic pauses when needed.
