If you are a presenter, please please please please stop it with the “put up slide, read bullet points off the slide, repeat” format. It’s excruciating.
That’s probably how 80% of presentations I attended last couple years were presented. Open slide, read sentences written there, go to next slide. Not nice.
You generally need to practice a talk a lot to be able to free yourself from the slides, especially if you don’t often do talks. For a one-off talk it’s not always realistic.
