Opinions

This article is all my personal opinion, and in some cases is a list of rules I follow personally. In creativity, it's also helpful to completely ignore rules.

Consider the habits and presentation foibles that annoy you, and work to ensure you do not have those issues in your performance. Be kind to those who will see you afterward, who may feel inclined to give you their honest opinion.
