		<description>Hi Alik,

A mirror is good as you can see how you look - a video camera is also exellect. One of my secrets is to use stuffed animals - so you can practice eye contact. 

You&#039;ve got a lot of great info on your site. I&#039;m looking forward to reading more of it.

Thanks,

James

		<description>James,

Tell them to speak in front of mirror when preparing. It is the practice that works best for me so far.

Thanks for the insightful comment.

		<description>Excellent post - a lot of great advice.

I agree 100% percent about keeping your goals before you and practicing as much as you can - especially the latter. Many people think they can become better speakers by reading books or watching videos but I always tell them that you can&#039;t become a good speaker without actually speaking.

		<description>Alik -

You are master orator and a great organizer. Your posts are so greatly organized that I&#039;m feeling depressed by comparing your posts to mine. Good thing is that you are my friend and I get to brag about that part. :)

Great post and great summary.

		<description>Alik, great post again.  The two keys points to remember are right on the money and your point that with lots of practice, its easy to be comfortable.  I definitely find that and in my job, where I know what I&#039;m doing, talking to a large group is easy but talking or sharing about something you don&#039;t know as much about (or less practiced) it is much more difficult!</description>
