With a little luck, I think that we all understand the before we give our next speech we need to do some practice.  

I mean, you’ve put in the time to create your speech, you’ve probably  jotted down some notes, now it’s time to give it a run through in order  to make sure that it all works and you can show your audience the  importance of public speaking. However, this is where things can get a  bit tricky. Just exactly how much time should you allocate to this  practice thing? For that matter, just exactly what should you be doing when you practice? 

What do speakers have to do in order to be prepared to deliver a great speech?
