You are truly an expert public speaker. Like your presentation.

[@dionnejames519]

i am so happy I stumbles upon these wonderful tips. Ms Deborah, you rock!

[@sonshine1998]

Hello, Deborah and thank you for sharing your insights on presentations. I appreciate your professionalism, conciseness and candor. Public speaking is something I really enjoy and desire to do it with excellence; your video is very helpful in beginning my journey. Thank you again!

[@muskansaklani4810]

[@hak.34]

she's great, she proved herself in the presentation itself.

[@THEBIGGAME683]

I'm watching all of your videos, one day I'm gonna change the world, it doesn't matter if it's for the better or for the worse. When I speak the whole world will tremble and all my actions will make it crumble.

[@Deborah-Grayson-Riegel]

Please let it be for the better. None of us need things to be worse.

[@davidjungheim8705]

Even if I don´t like the tone of your voice, you catched me with your kind of presentation, your gestures und your posture. Amazing, I´ll try to copy some of these.. Thanks

[@joeoluwa6532]

Deborah, you are wonderful, you carry people alone the long haul and make people wanting more; its a fantastic video clip! many thanks for sharing.

[@RuthieGrime]

I love how I just watched a presentation about a presentation. xD

[@mukundapokharel6823]

Ruthy ok

[@ChaseSandman]

yo dawg... I heard you like presentations...

[@aiemcb679]

help me pls cos i should presentation about a presentation :)

[@destinycooper1279]

funny since I was lost before the .50 second mark. she brought me back at 1:10 tho. I wonder why she didn't start like that...

[@lukedowneslukedownes5900]

Here from English presentation class, we are using 4 of your videos for my class at Yale. You must be quite extraordinary to reach this many people view-wise

[@alinaneenee]

such a great tips. I am scheduled to give a destination presentation infront of 100 pax, not in my native language but in French. I know that I am lack in this language and I want to be the best in delivering my speech. Thank you.

[@lopez6858]

The information that you provided in this short, but rather useful video, was phenomenal. Thank you so much

[@AndinHartini]

Hello Deborah , your material is excellent and I am using as a paramater for years

[@williamglisson8633]

I truly enjoyed these wonderful tips and practice points that were shared with their readers. Each tutorial added to the others a piece of the presentation just as a finger serves a hand causing the hand to serve the wrist and on and on. I viewed enthusiastically these fine tutorials on successful use of speaking methodologies when speaking to a public audience and learned in the process I have been a criminal defense lawyer for 43 years; an ordained minister with my Master of Divinity; an adjunct professor of philosophy; PhD In pastoral psychology; an author; a presenter on law and Ethics/Civility to thousands of lawyers all over the U S. to satisfy 4 credit hours to comply with their state's CLE requirements; speak two languages; 45 years of athletics including rugby; tv/movie personality; etc I have the experience to say this: if you can't be at one with your audience and cause them to feel better about themselves ; to feel their joy and sorrows; to create that ontological moment to be remembered forever; to empathize; then you have lost a point in your presentation. It truly takes a lifetime for most people to love their audiences - truly so May The Lord continue to hold each of you in His favor. I, getting tired and must rest

[@danholocaust7364]

+William Glisson Omfg my eyes. The way you make spaces before each paragraph is really weird and irritating.

[@danholocaust7364]

chemistrygeek15 Yeah but not in a KZbin comment.

[@mokgasitsoaela1688]

Wow your tips really helped me and i am growing as a teacher thank you very much

[@andrewsommerdc]

Deborah- I understand the essence of the close, but is there a video where you give an example of a strong close? TY!

[@thiagoleite7418]

number one tip: Never start a speech bragging that you were a high school champion....

[@andreanorte89]

She said that so you are aware that she has knowledge on the subject, a good presenter lets the audience know why what they are talking about is worth their time.

[@peterhoward6339]

Thiago, that's exactly what she should do. She is teaching people about presentations skills so I think it's totally appropriate to establish her credentials and experiences - even those from from an early age. If you had listened to the section immediately after the opening you would have heard her explain that the technique she used was 'story telling' whereby she shared her credentials in a story as opposed to simply stating them. I think she is highly credible and skilled speaker.

[@shamshamuddin5831]

ha ha

[@leadersofthenewschool]

Why not? Don't be so bitter.

[@thepinksuitguy9975]

she's alright :)

[@monisander3796]

Thank you for your tips, it is very helpful to have some tips for oral presentations

[@ENGLISHFORITALIANS]

Thanks so much,it helps.I'm a networker and currently preparing for my.our business presentation meeting.GOD BLESS,Tremendously !

[@zxding5143]

I really appriciate your instructions, Prof. Riegel. You saved my life before mid-term speech test.

[@Maryculligan]

I have listed to this presentation over and over. I would have liked more specifics on opening and closing for a dissertation defense. I hope I can emulate your exceptional ways--just hope tomorrow my defense will reflect your passion.

[@adrianaariasrestrepo3346]

Hi Deborah, thank you for sharing. Good tips that I will certainly try to practice during my next speeches.

[@salmankhan-tu2gw]

he adriana

[@itsAlyssaO]

Thank you so much!! I was struggling to create an opening to my presentation and this gave me some new ideas on how to start it! :)

[@racdula]

Gre at ‘Platform Presence’ and though a fast delivery, it’s succinct and well delivered.

[@mukhtaryusuf5825]

Deborah,known be goodness with you I'm From Somaliland your videos made me professional trainer of Deborah it's amazing that's a great help ,thanks you so much for the tips

[@venceralfllorente212]

the contents are very informative. I don't care if it's scripted.

[@LaszloMetal]

Hey people!!! Do not put bad comments, that this is boring or bad. This is an example, what not to do! She "teaches viewers how to create terrific openings and closings to presentations." ... :)

[@sachinraverkar4257]

A perfect presentation about how to deliver a perfect presentation! Thank you very much for explaining and illustrating the art of preparing and giving a great presentation. It is not only informative but also captivating.

[@string5514]

guys, don't judge, everyone has the same right to upload their video on youtube

[@spiritualfitnesscoach8673]

I can't belive the silly stupid comments on here. I thought it was one of the BEST videos on the subject. I'm glad I did not read any comments before viewing. I agree with you. Most presenters know it can be difficult and even frighting to go up on stage and do this. This iis one of those reasons....stupid people!

[@yee8462]

True that tho!

[@hairlesspotato1151]

and we also have the right to criticize the video itself..

[@arsenioseslpodcast3143]

LMFAO FUCK YES BITCH

[@presentationskills1]

Nicely done - yes so many speakers start with a boring opening. You state it well.

[@JeffCommunication101]

You start with a bang and you end with a bang. Bang, bang. That resonates with your audience.

[@southerncalihomegrown4148]

Well I'm going to a really big law suit case and I want to be as deliberate and firm because nothing seems to change and I need to make a powerful and positive message so many can look at the facts and its available for people to do some research for themselves thanks to the readers

[@lololuany7967]

I do thank you so much for this video I pray 🙏 for you to get more knowledge and give you good health

[@loursvanthilai4034]

hi ,i'm from Cambodia,Angkor wat,when i listen your tips it's amazing that's a great help ,thanks you very much for the tips

[@Swanseaguy1979]

I love your home town, visited back in 2005.

[@uzunalicanuzun]

wow... your english is really good ma'am

[@katiemiaana]

Sorry but whilst useful I would need to make notes to remember because it presented like you were reading a textbook, make a joke, be a bit human.

[@romelevangelista1206]

Great, Simple,Straightforward and Effective

[@michelledavidson3386]

She gives wonderful suggestions on how to set the tone- great job!

[@ammaraogata9917]

[@nkkavitha]

[@martha4434]

Please give some examples 👌😊

[@shridharrao349]

Thank you. Wrap up mesage was particularly impressive

[@spawned.earthling]

It ws quite gud.... N it ws a prfct example to hold the audience... Wit ur tips n intonations u used...... Thanx

[@dilansankalpa1019]

any suggestion on which general lines one should conclude a presentation?

[@shreeshagijare]

the video is example in itself what you are trying to explain s. Thanks Deb these points are really helping me in constructing my presentation sensibily

[@dumitrescualex3879]

I'm at my first 30 seconds but, what I've learned from my short experience is that: people don't care about the position of someone when he/she starts the speech, but that person is interest about why that speaker is there. Is the speaker skilful ? I would create a bridge rather than putting on myself the label of "look I'm the expert here" in the first seconds of my speech. Always in the audience will be people better than you and the opposite.

[@aliakbar741]

your video is great. I have one question for you that can we start our Presentation with a qoute relevant to our title.

[@GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

Good advice. I'll just have to hold the audience's attention until then. Some flattery should do the trick; think you can spare some?

[@SammychipOfficial]

Great stuff! You know exactly what to do with your hands and body movement tone and all CHEERS!

[@questphoenix100]

thanks.. i like the point of a polished presenter!

[@Elle19978]

Hi there! May I ask something regarding the video. How u edit this. The video with the background. What app u use ?

[@manmohansavita3676]

Wonderful suggestions .. like your smart dressing sense

[@androidg6288]

Excellent application and i highly recommend it.

[@liarilanihay5300]

Thank u so much mom for your video, this information and tips helpful me to get better for my speaking in public...

[@dadabaimusic]

[@claragary]

Nice video. Thanks a lot. Will take it in consideration on my next presentation.

[@cabdilaahidalmar9615]

[@hamidkaiser4415]

May I update business case study any presentation ?

[@balancenatural]

What is the technology used to do this presentation? How to have a person and slides together?

[@adityasah9040]

can you tell me an appropriate conclusion for my speech on community service....please help me i have the competition on 6th of may

[@muskansaklani4810]

i also luv her gestures they are amazing

[@NATOIMSBruxelles]

??? She looks like a robot!

[@murrayfarrellmc454]

Machine generated gestures. Robotic, mechanical and almost predictable. Notice the pointed finger as in "You've been a very naughty little boy or girl!" For me, the visual and aural side is not attractive; however the content is quite good.

[@Hangsengfutures]

Nicely done... From start to finish...thanks

[@ahmedalibraheemi2985]

Thanks for sharing us your knowledge Its one of the best videos.But what should i do if my presentation is just for ten minutes?how many slides are reasonable to put?how can arrange the time for introduction main body and the end by minutes?

[@maryamshahbazi6107]

this was great, except the first part where you talk about your high school accomplishment.

[@Mansimehta16]

lol i guess she was using her technique

[@diazaguirredaniel]

Este video es espectacular, tiene contenido, la profundidad necesaria para ponerlo a prueba en nuestras presentaciones. THANKS DEBORAH YOUR THE BEST

[@masbojoowchannel3961]

Thank U so much. That clear enough. Enrich my knowledge.

[@Asnawimuslem]

very good opening and closing presentation

[@amarchandnath7907]

Great teaching for beginners....

[@easypublicspeaking8402]

Agree it can be very easy to lose your audience. Sometimes if you haven't captivated your audience in the first 30 seconds then it can be an uphill struggle. It is about being confident to be yourself and speak to your audience with impact.

[@philiptirpak7947]

Thanks Deborah, this was a good, basic message that hit on many of the important points of introductions and conclusions. I am going to share this with my classes and am sure that they will be able to use many of the techniques. Everything is not relevant to the presentations they will be delivering but I will cover those, (this doesn't make the entire message irrelevant, however.) I have read through the comments and have to say for those who have the attention span of a flea, are just ready to criticize without thinking, and think they know best, guess what? They don't.

[@sanithsouy802]

great introduction and speak fluency. i like your presentation

[@heleyramazani9490]

Hi, I want to know how to defend my self on an Interview about Power point Presentation ? Thanks

[@studywithcsakashsharma8644]

[@xorlakd2176]

[@exyzie]

Wow! Very educative. Thanks

[@amalafyf3796]

[@supersarah5673]

I heard the growl too aha

[@markanthonymolina7988]

Thank you so much Coach Deborah for sharing this very helpful tips :)

[@emilioroman7065]

Thank you very much for the speaking tips! You're right...I always forget the call to action at the end of a presentation. All the BEST to you.
