Practicing a Speech

We’ve all heard the expression, 
“Practice makes perfect.”

It’s not true.

Perfect practice makes perfect. However, and I don’t know where I read this,
“The road to perfection never ends.”

That statement aside, the mantra we’ve all heard from coaches, teachers, and parents, is:
“Practice, Practice Practice.”

When it comes to your speeches and presentations,

• Practice in front of a mirror
• Practice into a voice recorder – and listen to yourself
• Practice in front of a video camera – and watch yourself
• Practice in front of friends and family – and ask for feedback and take it to heart
  • Ask specifics from your audience, such as, ‘If there were two things I could improve – what are they?
• Practice in your car when you have ‘windshield time’

Your speaking can always improve.

The best of the best make it look easy and natural because they Practice, Practice, Practice!
