Practice can make perfect when it comes to public speaking. However, it is critical when practicing that you don't loose the ability to remain open with your audience. Consider some of the points below, while practicing to improve your presentation.
1. Practice for timing purposes. If you have a time frame to fill practicing your presentation can give you an average estimated time so that you know whether to add more material before hand, or dramatically reduce material.
2. Practice to gauge interest. If you are bored with your speech after a couple of practice runs, consider that you audience will feel the same way. However, if you remain passionate and fired up after practicing, you are more likely to maintain that passion with your audience.
3. Get rid of any awkward sentences. Awkward sentences can be distracting to your audience. Change up anything that might trip you up when presenting.
4. Practice to help build confidence in the material that you are presenting. A confident speaker is bound to make a deeper impression than a timid one.
