I find silent PowerPoint presentations (except for those that only use words) about as useful as a Rorschach ink blot. Heaven only knows how many silent PowerPoints decks have screwed things up because people read their own meaning into them to fill the void.
For example, that’s a real psych-test blog above. See any weird stuff? It’s all in your head. The blot’s neutral.
Some people think mute PowerPoints constitute training. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Hence, this deck includes sound.
This is practice for a presentation I’ll be delivering in Sao Paolo next month. I’m sick as a dog, sicker, actually, so don’t listen if sniffling and heavy breathing offend you. A healthy version will come out later.
How to embed sound in a SlideShare deck: Record your words as you run through your deck. I used Garage Band and saved the spiel as an mp3. Upload your presentation to SlideShare. Click Edit. Syncing sound to slides is intuitive.
Any feedback? My audience includes business training managers and teachers; they don’t understand how people can be expected to learn without a teacher.
