1. A Captivating Title
The opening slide with your title is the first thing people will see.
If your title doesn't stand out and make them excited to listen to you then you've already lost them to whatever might be happening on their phones.
2. Emphasizing Important Words
We've all heard someone with a monotone voice present before.
It bores everyone and makes it unclear what is important and what is not.
By emphasizing keywords you help your audience discern the important stuff and keep them engaged.
3. Don't Overload Slides With Text/Figures
You may feel safe adding a lot of info to your slides but it makes for a terrible audience experience and distracts from what you're saying.
Keep your slides clean and concise.
Use only what you need to get your story across.
4. Entertaining Visuals
You could use the same image of cells differentiation that everyone else uses.
Or you could illustrate it using pokemon evolutions.
Which do you think the audience would enjoy and remember more?
5. Ask The Audience Questions
By asking simple questions you get them engaged and interested in what you are talking about. A simple "yes or no" or "A and B" question does the job nicely.
By asking you get them invested in finding out the answer which you'll provide.
