People are busy all day, going from one meeting to the next and getting distracted by all kind of things. How can you ensure that your audience will focus on your presentation? There are different tricks and techniques that you can apply. One of them being the use of music. If people enter the room in which you will give your presentation you want them to get out of their normal daily activities and take them on a journey during your presentation and having them focus on what you have to say. What you can do is have some music playing before the start of your presentation. When people enter the room they will enter into a different environment due to the music. Music is great for creating a different setting / atmosphere. When you stop the music, you will notice that your audience will start to focus as it is obvious something is about to happen and you can start your presentation.
You can read more about this in the book Public Speaking Excellence. As part of this book you can also download some music that you can use (download is available as bonus material when you purchase the
book – available for a limited period of time). The music creates a nice environment (mix of modern and classic music), can be played in a loop and has an increasing “speed / level of activity”
to create an increasing level of excitement before the start of your presentation.
