Speaker's tip (Rehearse like the real day): Good: practising out loud, standing, timing each run, short numbered cue cards, practising for family, checking slides and the room early. Poor: only reading silently, never timing yourself, skipping the ending, first try on the day, reading a full script. Cue cards: key words only, numbered in speaking order.
