> Don't read text from a slide

This. So much this. I can read, man. I can read while you're talking. I can read it faster than you can say it. So if you read the text, you're going to take longer than I am, and then I'm going to have to wait for X seconds while you slowly get around to finishing telling me what you've already told me. And every one of those seconds, you're losing more and more of my attention.
