Short excerpt of a video by TJ Walker advising presenters to keep their audience continually engaged by prompting interest or reflection every few seconds; applies to speeches, presentations, PowerPoints, and video demonstrations. The speaker emphasizes that viewers should frequently think "that's interesting" or see usefulness to avoid losing attention.
Definitely pass the test of if someone's watching this and every few seconds saying, so, so what? I think they have a good answer for it. Because every. Basically every few seconds, I'm thinking, oh, that's interesting. That's really what you want, whether you're giving a speech, you're giving a presentation, a PowerPoint or a video demonstration. You want an audience member every few seconds. If they had to reflect, think, oh, I can see how that'd be interesting. I can see how that'd be useful.
