Step 1
Choose an interesting topic. Think about your audience, and pick a topic that appeals to you and to them. Having a topic you like enables you to speak passionately about it. Your audience will be attracted by their interest in the subject and by your enthusiasm for it. Your topic should be appropriate for the length of the presentation. A shorter presentation allows you to give a brief overview of a subject, while a longer presentation requires a more-detailed topic that you explore in depth.
Step 2
Gather information. Jot down anything you already know about your topic. Tell other people what topic you've chosen, and ask them what they would want to hear about the subject. Take this into account as you do more research.
