I take this to the extreme: my slides have little to no text, or even white space. Each slide is basically a collage for pointing at while I rant about the thing. I'm a mechanical engineer, so I also imitate the sounds the machine makes.

My issue with this is that I'd like to be able to distribute the slide deck afterwards for people who can't attend. I've heard people advocate for keeping separate infosheets to accompany the presentation but I can't be bothered usually.

If my stage performance is unnecessary, then it would be better suited as an email than a presentation. If it is necessary, then they'll need to watch the video.

I'm not going to create the same message twice in two formats. If they disrespect my time, then I might not be a good fit for their corporate culture.
