Using presentation media in a speech
The last speech that I heard included a PowerPoint that was actually used fairly well. The speaker used several images relating to what he was talking about and also included some text in the slides. The speaker also used very simple animations and transitions that didn't detract from the speech, and also didn't distract the audience. The introduction slide was used as an effective attention getter, comparing two people side by side that he would use to make a point. The slides used colors that went well together and also used some fairly large text so that it could be read. There was a slide or two where the slide did have a lot of text, and it probably needed to be bigger so the people in the back could read it a little better. Being a visual person myself, The PowerPoint did help keep my attention and also helped to make a confusing topic more clear to me; there is no doubt that I would have been lost without it.

I am a visual learner too, and learning from a media presentation is the best. English is my third language, so sometimes when people present speeches usually I do not understand some of the words; however, with media presentation is more helpful. I can actually look at the screen and not only listen but I can see the pictures and have a clear idea in my mind. I understand when you say that in a PowerPoint presentation some slides with a lot of text need to be bigger, so the people in the back could read it. This always happens with someone's presentation, and I hope tomorrow will not be mine.
