When giving a presentation as a lecture or for a project, thesis, or a paper, act a salesperson and show passion to seduce your listeners (more especially so when you hate the work and would not buy it for a penny,e otherwise the audience will hate you for losing their time).

1. Keep eye contact with as many people as possible so they do not feel ignored but compelled to listen to you. Do not address only the front row or a specific group of people. Address them all, you want to win them all.


2. Project your voice so that the last person in the room can clearly hear you. Particularly if you are normally a quiet person, then shout, do not allow anyone to sleep during your talk.
