When we make a presentation, we should not turn our back at the audience. We must look at the audience when we are presenting. This is because when we do that, it shows that we are rude towards the audience. When we face the audience, they will understand our speech by our body language, gesture and emotion.

The best way to make our audience to feel sleepy is by turning your back to them.In my opinion,this is the most important thing that we can learn from this video.When we become a presenter someday,we will definitely want to avoid doing the thing i mentioned above.We can see when the guy in the video stress that there are even research that is being conducted to prove this statement and from this research it is found that people gives attention when they see us from the front view in which they can clearly see our face.So,we should avoid from turning our back to anyone.........

The speaker strongly advice us not to TURN OUR BACK when we giving a speech in front of the AUDIENCE.I very agree what he says. He teach us that not keep turn our back during our own presentation especially when there is a power point slide show be shown to the audience. We must remember the slide show is for the audience and not for ourselves to look at to giving speech. In fact, this will make us not respect to the audience and they will lost their attentions to us.We just can turn our back awhile when we need to point out some important ideas to let the audience know.Therefore, we must not to speak by facing the Powerpoint with the open mouth but we must be the focus point of the audience and talk facing them.

Wuaargh..i feel sleepy....is that usually happened as u start your presentation? why? because they are no longer in the sense of you. as a presenter do not starring around at the back and talk without facing the audience. especially in powerpoint presentation. it will make audience fall asleep. no eye contact, no body and facial expression. remember! your powerpoint presentation is for your audience not for you! so, say yes to TURNING BACK!

From this video clip, it say that when do the presentation dont back our audience because we will lose the concentration from the audience. Also, speak louder and clear to make the audience understand what we present to them.

Hello there!!

from this video i can say that when do everything you can to make contact with your audience, and avoid barriers to connecting with the group.We should make eye contact with the entire audience. Don't turn your back and read our slides. If possible, avoid using a lectern that puts up a barrier between us and our audience. If we use notes, don't depend on them by never taking our eyes off them. Ideally, lay our notes on the lectern and walk back occasionally when we need to refer to them..tq

from this video, we can learn that we can't turn our back to the audience when we do a presentations..it is one of the rudeness while a presentations. our body language,facial expression,hand movement, eye contact,is the most important things..if we just turn our back to the audience and just read the powerpoint the presentation will be so bored and sleepy...

Hello again..based on this video clip,we can clearly conclude that when we deliver our speechs,please,do not turn your back from the audiences.When we always look at the point that we write on,automatically we will forget about the aundiences that are presence.Therefore,in order to get back their attentions,we need to look directly into their eyes and of course,we need to face the audiences. As we turn our back, the audiences could not understands clearly about the points that we deliver.

Next video is ‘don’t turn your back’.. This is something which needs to be avoided by the entire presenter. It is true, turning our back from our audience is a horrible thing to do and somehow it shows our rudeness. I seldom see this situation happens at a speech before this. The whole presentation is boring and I can hardly listen to what is he talking about. When we are presenting something, our body language and impression are very important. Not only that, eye contact is also important. So, if we turn our back from the audience all of these important elements are gone and it will ruin the presentation itself. Remember this..You are suppose to talk to your audience not to the SCREEN!.. :)

In this video, T.J Walker said that a great presenter should not turn his back to the audience. I agree with his opinion as when a presenter did this action it will make his audience feel uncomfortable. The audience wanted to hear his voice and see his face’s expression. It also showed that the presenter do not prepared to deliver his speech. The audience will know that he lack of self esteem.

In my opinion ,TJ Walker gives a very good advice on present well in front of the audience .'Don't turn back' but that is always people do when presenting something .When we talk while facing the screen ,it will makes the audience to fall asleep .So ,we should face our audience members and watch out our tone of voice while present something to the audience.

'DON'T TURN YOUR BACK' is an important fact that always forgotten and not done by the person who giving a presentation in stage.For example, presenter always turn their back when using or explaining the slide show. By this, the attraction and attention of audience will be getting less and less. This is because the presenter only want to finish his presentation and not giving explaination or communicate with audience. There is no emotion, eyes contact and body language with audience. Therefore, we should try to not turn our back to when giving a presentation.

“Don’t turn your back” is a good advice from the speaker. I think, we cannot turn our back because it such a rude behavior. Also, if we turn our back, it looks like we are lack of confident in front of people. Other than that, eye contact is very important in presentation.

Based on the clip ‘don’t turn your back’, the narrator speaks on how a speaker should stand in front of the audiences. We should not turn our back to the audiences and just read the notes on the slides. This is one of the common acts that we always do during a presentation. This is not a good way to communicate and confront the audiences.

from this video,TJ Walker said don't turn your back on when doing power point presentation...you seems like want to betray your audience....you also don't look profesional..your body expression and words that came out from your mouth that make audience like you..you have to focus on your audience...if you want to turn to screen,only just few seconds...audience is your priority...

TJ WALKER says that " the powerful presentations is for audience, not for you" . The eyes contact and body movement is most important for speaker to the audiences. It's will be horrible to presentations if we didn't control our movement and eye contacts. Lets say if the eye is reading the text, it will be not nice to the audience.

ASSALAMUALAIKUM MISS..
based on the video's that i've been seen,i think that the presenter should not turn back to the audience because it is not a good attitude as a presenter..besides that,it will make the audience feel bored..actually having an eye contact with the audience is very important besides makes the audience more understand about what the presenter present.other than that the presenter should nottalk to fast if no slide show is not prepared.because this will make the audience can't understand what the presenter said..so as a conclusion make sure what we present will understand the audince..and this can called as succesful presentation.

Good day.Firstly,I am agree wih the speaker's advice.When we are giving a speech,we shouldn't turn our bodies back from the audience.If we do that,audience will think that we are rude and they certainly felt asleep later on.So,why not we give a speech in a proper way...TQ

The TJ Walker has a point that we should not turn back our back during our presentation.Actually,we should brave to face the crowd and show them our confidence and make eye contacts with them.If not,the audiences will feel that we are not respecting them.

DON'T TURN YOUR BACK to the audience!!! Exactly, what is the point facing the slides at the screen and deliver while you are facing your back to your audience. Why need to read the slide when we are supposed to well known about our presentation. How the voice can be project out to the audience if you are not facing the audience?? On top of that we need eye contact as well and as i mentioned before INTERACTION. What will make presentation more interesting than interaction with the audience??
