What are the four steps in practicing your speech presentation? Why is each step important, and what contribution does each make that others do not?
What will be an ideal response?
- Develop the presentation outline: helps you practice articulating your ideas and the links between your ideas
- Mental rehearsal: gives you a sense of how the speech will look and sound when everything comes together
- Oral practice: provides feedback about the clarity of structure and ideas as well as the effectiveness of the delivery
- Simulation: makes you more comfortable with the setting
- Each step is important because without a presentation outline, a speech will lack content; without mental rehearsal, it will not seem as integrated as it might be; without oral practice, the delivery will not seem polished; without simulation, you may be thrown off by the unique circumstances of the venue.
