Reading your slides silently and delivering them to a live audience are completely different experiences. The only way to close that gap is to practise out loud, at full pace, with your actual voice. This guide shows how to make spoken rehearsal effective rather than just repetitive.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Full run-through, no stopping
Run your presentation from start to finish without pausing to fix things. You need to experience the whole arc at pace before you can identify which sections need work.
Targeted section practice
After the full run, go back and repeat only the weak sections. Isolate the two or three moments where you stumbled or slowed down and run those segments five times each.
Simulate Q and A out loud
Have Lucy ask you questions at the end of your rehearsal. Hard questions, off-topic questions, challenging pushback. Preparing for Q and A out loud reduces anxiety as much as preparing the main content.
TLDR:Deliver your presentation to Lucy and get a real-time speaking partner that responds, asks questions, and gives you the experience of speaking to someone. This is the closest thing to a rehearsal audience available without scheduling anyone.

Record one complete run on your phone and listen back. You will notice pace, filler words, and energy drops that you cannot detect while you are speaking. One review session is usually enough to identify the top issues.
