I really like your thoughts on practice. I'm going to share this article with my students next semester before they give their required speech! A couple of other thoughts that fit with your section on prepare: 1. Know Your Audience - Make sure you clearly know who you are going to be presenting to. 2. Know Your Goal - Why are you giving the presentation? What are you hoping to get out of it? Gaining clarity on your motivation can help you prepare a better presentation and can lower your fear level. - The Success Professor Kevin,
