The goal of a PowerPoint presentation is not for the presenter to read aloud each slide for an audience.

Quite simply, this one point (no pun intended) will drastically increase the quality of a presentation. Of course, there are exceptions, where the goal is to read aloud the words; however, unless your audience is a class full of second graders, which mine happens to be, reading words is not the point!

PowerPoint slideshows are meant to enhance a talk, not replace it. So, use your slides as a guide, and your audience will be impressed. Simple, straightforward, effective.
