To make audio-visual aids more effective in his speech, Neil should have created the slides earlier and practiced a few times with them. This would have allowed him to become familiar with the content and flow of the presentation, as well as ensure that he knew how to properly navigate the slides during his speech. Practicing with the slides beforehand would have also given Neil the opportunity to adjust the content or layout if needed. By waiting until just one hour before his presentation, Neil did not allow himself enough time to properly prepare and ensure a successful delivery.
