In rehearsal, the primary task is to find out how you sound, If possible record and play back your talk. Listen for words, especially the specific terms that are crucial to your talk, to see whether your pronunciation is difficult to comprehend,and then practice the correct pronunciation of the word that is hard to say which sticks in your throat, or replace such words with those that can come through loud and clear.Also, practice varying your speaking level and intonation. Instead of speaking in a monotone, let your voice emphasize key points.Look in a mirror to observe your gestures, stance, and facial expressions, Use your hands only when you want to emphasize specific points. Pace your rate of speak according to the familiarity of your subject. When introducing something new, slowdown.After rehearsing alone, practice formally in front of your associates at a formaln session. Rehearsals with an audience will help you discover how listeners will react.They can tell you where to polish, where to put in another visual, and when to offermore explanation. Get a colleague to note any awkward points so that you can make corrections. Rehearse with your visual aids. Many speakers undermine their own presentations through clumsy handling of visual devices and materials. Practice pointing to the image on the screen and turning back to the audience. Make sure that the things you say match the things you show, making sure that there are no mistakes (facts formats, spelling, etc. ) in the slides.For most of the meetings you will have a limited amount of time to present yourpaper. Rehearsing is also the way to be sure your presentation fits in the allotted time.After rehearsing, trim or extend the material until you can keep your presentationwithin the allotted time limits in front of the mirror at home or before an audience for rehearsal.For preparing answers to possible questions, you may ask your rehearsal audience to think ofquestions that may come up, or you may discuss your research with anyone who will listen. You may use your fellow students, colleagues, friends, familv. etc. to practice discussing your research on various levels. They may have useful insights or you may find that verbalizing your ideas clarifies them for yourself.If possible, making a video of your practice session, which is a guaranted method for polishing your presentation. Run it again and again to watch for these things: Do you make eye contact? What are your hands doing? Do you smile occasionally? How is your posture? Do you notice any distracting mannerisms? Do your thoughts flow logically? Are the transitions smooth? Do you vary your voice and your pace emphasis, to avoid monotony, and as you transition to new thoughts? Do you hear any ers,”“ahs,”“ums?" Do you use the pointer properly? This method of commenting andimproving your presentation is extremely valuable. Remember, you can never get enough practice.
