Presentations without PowerPoint prove to be quite boring. This is because the presentation

PowerPoint presentations usually provide a change for the audience in presentation and give the crowd some visual explanations of the points that are being told in the presentation.

So, without PowerPoint in the presentation, it is very important that the presenter use some creativity in the presentation.

This is because it is only this creativity that will keep the audience interested and motivated in the presentation! 

When beginning the presentation, you must present it while keeping the end of the presentation in mind. You must know what the purpose of your presentation is, as without PowerPoint you might lose the interest of the audience!

Make sure you see, hear, and feel what exactly it is that you want people to respond to in whatever it is that you say. Make a strong start to your presentation.

Without PowerPoint, it is very much important that the first words and your appearance set the right tone for the audience to listen to you throughout the presentation.

One of the best ways of making a connection with the audience without the help of PowerPoint is to tell a story or an anecdote that has universal appeal. 

One of the main things that must be done when giving a presentation is to practice the speech as much as possible.

This is the only way of looking polished while speaking. It is indeed a false notion that using PowerPoint slides in a presentation will make a person a dynamic speaker. The process of becoming a dynamic speaker lies in the hand of the speaker.

Only practice can make one a successful speaker, and this is one skill that cannot be delegated to anyone else. One of the best techniques to implement for practice is called bits.

Here one practices a short piece of material repeatedly till perfect. It is not that you practice it for word, one just has to talk one’s way through the presentation! In this way, one can easily continue a presentation, even if there is a distraction while onstage. 

If PowerPoint is not used in a presentation, it is important that props be used instead. This is because a prop is basically worth a thousand words. With props, people tend to anchor thoughts in their minds to these props. It is no different if the prop is large, small, funny, or serious if it relates to the point that you are trying to make and that the audience sees it! Another way of making sure that the audience loves you even though you don’t use PowerPoint in your presentation is to bring solutions to the problems they have. With your research of the audience, you would already have an idea of what their problems are; it is only up to you to bring new ideas to them to try. 

Remember that when you are not using PowerPoint, you are the visual aid of the presentation.

People will then gain more interest in whatever it is that you say, instead of visuals or fancy slides or overheads.

So basically, without PowerPoint, it is important that the speaker be more self-confident and well-versed in his speech.

Without this, it may be quite impossible to imagine giving a presentation without PowerPoint!
