Identify and explain the four steps for effectively practicing your speech. Discuss what each step accomplishes that the others do not.

What will be an ideal response?

- Develop and talk through the preparation outline: this compiles all the relevant information for your speech.
- Reduce the preparation outline to a presentation outline: this focuses on the things you need reminders about during the speech.
- Develop exact wording for the introduction and the conclusion: this helps you relax and make a good impression.
- Simulate the conditions under which you will speak: this reduces how threatening the environment will seem.
