Journal - What are some qualities of a good presentation? How can you make a boring presentation interesting? Explain. Engage your audience. In order for your presentation to interest other people you must relate to their lives as well as your own. Nobody enjoys listening to a presentation only having the presenter talk about themselves. When somebody gives a presentation some good qualities that the person should have is to make good eye contact with the whole audience. The presenter should look around at each person casually and not just stare at the teacher in the corner, or one individual in the crowd. Another thing that the presenter should do is smile. If the person looks miserable while presenting people will generally not pay attention or care about the content of the presentation. Good posture and stance is another key point to being a good presenter. Standing with your feet towards the audience and not twisting and turning and awkwardly moving about, but instead standing still and confident towards those you are presenting. The presenter should never have his/her back to the audience either, that is a sure sign of being ill-prepared. Those are just a few key points that I think make a good presentation.
