Assignment:
First, practice your icebreaker speech in preparation for Friday’s presentation. Obviously, this requires you to have already written the whole speech. Do not let today go by without practicing the entire speech. The practice should include three times through your speech. The first time, read the speech. The second time, try to deliver it without reading, but still using your notes. Finally, outline your notes and deliver the speech using just the outline.
All of these practice runs should be timed, to help you gauge how long the speech will take to deliver.
Second, remember to be doing your filler word removal exercise. Keep it fun, but don’t forget to do them. Add in your new exercise from today’s lesson for improving your pronunciation skills. This should be something that you only need to do once or twice for each speech.
