Brain dead presentation!

Squeezing in months of work and putting it forth in a simplistic manner is more harder than redoing the entire work! Basically the guy before me had put the audience to sleep and I went out there to rock the cradle and make things a tad more comfortable. I even offered a blanket for them to cuddle into feeling more like an air-hostess waiting to make an announcement in the business class of an airplane.
How can you possibly make "A unified approach to a unit-selection framework for ultra low bit rate speech coders " sound poetic? I frankly don't know. I tried and discovered about a dozen ways one can fumble in crunch situations like these.
Novelty ? Err novelty of my system hmmm how do i put this.. Its this seemeless way of arriving at low-bit rates using a constrained one pass DP algorithm in a unit-selection framework that favours run length coding! Thats it.. as simple as that. You can now vow to never visit this blog again.
Here's a bunch of stuff i think one might find useful before a presentation
-> No peanuts! I'm reiterating!
-> No pseudo-confidence.. the kind you get after watching "Fight Club"
-> Try avoiding eye contact with the guy sleeping. As discouraging as it may sound you can probably console yourself with the fact that he finds your talk so intellectually amusing that he wishes to dream about it too! Even before it's over.
-> If you spot one person shaking his head in agreement with what you just mentioned do not punish him for the rest of the presentation by speaking fiercely only to him ignoring the rest.
-> Do not put that thought evoking face to dodge questions, promptly admit you don't know when you don't!
-> Wear comfortable pants. Not that old piece of a sole formal pant you just found in the attic that now fits your nephew.
Presentation can be quiet a .... I learnt it the hard way.
