Speech Writing
"No matter how long the speech, always divide it into five parts: an introduction, point 1, point 2, point 3 and a conclusion."
"Shower your audience with stories rather than drown them in facts. If you have a story (anecdote or example) to illustrate each of your three points, so much the better. Stories are “sticky” — that is, people remember them."

Speech length
"At the normal speaking rate of 130 words per minute (wpm), a 6 minutes long speech will have about 780 words."
How Many Words Are in a 6 Minute Long Speech?
"How many words are there in a 4-minute speech?
If you are a slow speaker less than 480 words.
If you speak at an average speed between: 480 – 640 words.
If you are a fast speaker between: 640 - 800 words."

Presentation
"Visuals should support your talk. They should thus relate to the words spoken, be seen clearly, be well organised and emphasise
the important points. A visual that is overloaded or difficult to read or understand will only be distracting."

Background
[Jeremy Girard: How to Contrast Background and Foreground Colors in Web Design]
"Contrast between the foreground and background is one of the most important factors for the ease of reading. If coloured text is used on a bright background the contrast will be weak, for optimal contrast results is white text against dark colored backgrounds."
Design Work Plan: Signs and color contrast
"Beige is dependable, conservative, and flexible. The color beige is neutral, calm, and relaxing. The attributes and meanings associated with beige change based on the colors it accompanies."

Font
Roboto
"Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are largely geometric. At the same time, the font features friendly and open curves. While some grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid rhythm, Roboto doesn’t compromise, allowing letters to be settled into their natural width. This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and serif types."

"Creating video, like any form of storytelling, comes down to a series of choices. As a creator you have to choose how to tell your story, which parts to include and leave out, how it should look and sound, and a million other things. Including which fonts to use in the text that appears on screen. "

" Sustained attention lasts about ten minutes"
"Assume that you have at most 7 to 10 minutes of a person’s attention..
"Keep online demos or tutorials under 7 minutes in length."
"People are driven to create categories"
"People naturally create categories. Just as learning a native language happens
naturally, so does learning to categorize the world around us."
"Minds wander 30 percent of the time"
"If possible, use hyperlinks to grab onto this idea of quickly switching from topic to topic.
People like Web surfing because it enables this type of wandering."
"Font size matters"
"Choose a point size that is large enough for people of various ages to read comfortably."
Structure
Principles
"The three-act screenplay structure is a storytelling model that goes back to Aristotle's dramatic theory as outlined in Poetics. It is loosely defined as a narrative with a beginning, middle, and end. We can also think of the three-act structure as the Setup, the Confrontation, and the Resolution."

"Craft the Beginning
Develop the Middle
Make the Ending Powerful"
Nancy Durate: Structure Your Presentation Like a Story
"You’re doing a presentation, so you start with the facts you want to get across. Wrong! Humans are hardwired for stories. They love heroes, journeys, surprises, layers and happy endings."
Emily Bartlett: 8 Classic storytelling techniques for engaging presentations
"Immerse your audience in the story.
Tell a personal story.
Create suspense.
Bring characters to life.
Show. Don’t tell.
Build up to S.T.A.R. moment.
End with a positive takeaway."

Parts
I. Intro
"The introduction is the most important part of your presentation as it sets the tone for the
entire presentation. Its primary purpose is to capture the attention of the audience, usually
within the first 15 seconds."

II. Main Body
Part I
Hyperlinks
"The World Wide Web is a series of documents stored in different computers all over the Internet. Documents contain information stored in a variety of formats, including text, still images, sounds, and video. An essential element of the web in that any document has an address (rather like a telephone number). Most web documents contain "links". These are short sections of text or image which refer to another document. Typically the linked text is blue or underlined when displayed, and when selected by the user, the referenced document is automatically displayed, wherever in the world it actually is stored."
W3C: Declaration presented by Tim Berners-Lee
"By default, links will appear as follows in all browsers:
An unvisited link is underlined and blue
A visited link is underlined and purple
An active link is underlined and red"
W3Schools: HTML Links
Part II
Useability
"Hyperlinks signpost users to more information but if they use vague words as hyperlink text then the impact is lost. “Click Here” gives the user no clue about what information is just a click away. The user has to scan the surrounding text to understand the context."
Brandup: Why you shouldn’t use “click here”
"Thoughtfully composed links express respect to readers, whereas jumbled-up ones cause confusion and suspicion. When a link is presented as “here” or “this,” it’s harder to aim it with a cursor or finger. Also, it lacks transparency. What is hidden behind it: a page or file, an article or web form? One should re-read the whole sentence or paragraph to guess."
Slava Shestopalov: Guidelines on designing better hyperlinks
Part III
Accessibility
"When 'click here' is used on a page, the screen reader will read out these two words. The listener will hear the instruction, 'click here', but without useful context the link is rather meaningless. This may leave your listener rather bewildered or even perplexed about what to do next."
SuspireMedia: Stop using 'click here'!
III. Conclusion
"Use a callback
Use a twist
Use a takeaway
Use a question
Use a quote
Use a call to action"
What are some effective ways to conclude a story in a presentation?
When calling the user to action, use brief but meaningful link text that:
Provides some information when read out of context.
Explains what the link offers.
Doesn't talk about mechanics.
Is not a verb phrase.
