Visual Aids

When delivering a speech, a visual aid is sometimes used to aid especially when someone wants to show how things look like or how things work. A visual aid is a graphic device that may be used in any type of speech to illustrate and support ideas (Adler, 2015). There are many types of visual aids and the main ones are: objects and models, diagrams, word and number charts, pie charts, bar and column charts, and line charts.

Rules for using visual aids:

• Simplicity
• Size
• Attractiveness
• Appropriateness
• Reliability
