It is a recurring theme this week that I have been practicing for a speech that I am due to give. Nothing is more satisfying than doing a run through in front of a 'friendly' audience to give you more confidence. To know that you can deliver your content is good to know and it helps identify those weak spots that need some more attention. Recording your run through gives you a chance to critique yourself afterwards and more importantly see how long you took.
Nothing is worse then delivering content that goes on for way too long, or on the other hand is not long enough. Finding that all important sweet spot in terms of time is crucial. Yes it feels like you are creating more stress by practicing as you feel you have so much to do, and you worry about details, but at least you have a picture and an idea of how it will be and sound like. Leaving it to chance could end up with you forgetting what you need to say, ramble on endlessly or even worse dry up altogether. Practice can and does help. Each time you practice you will find you feel more focused and ready for the real thing.
