1 Know your audience

One of the first steps to rehearse your presentation is to know your audience. You need to understand their expectations, interests, level of knowledge, and potential questions. This will help you tailor your content, style, and tone to suit their needs and preferences. Knowing your audience will also help you anticipate their reactions and feedback, which can reduce your fear of being judged or criticized.

2 Practice out loud

Another important rehearsal technique is to practice your presentation out loud. This will help you improve your vocal delivery, such as your volume, pace, pitch, and tone. It will also help you identify and eliminate any filler words, such as ums and ahs, that can distract your audience and undermine your credibility. Practicing out loud will also help you memorize your main points and transitions, which can boost your confidence and reduce your reliance on notes or slides.

Yes! to practicing out loud and with variation of pitch, volume and tone - and also the speed of which you deliver your presentation - think of stepping on the gas and then gently - or abruptly - stepping on the brake. And practice in different voices - it's fun! The more fun you have the more confident you become and you're learning not only more command of your message, you're also learning more about you - becoming easier with yourself, daring to reach out a bit further and loving the discovery. Every moment is an opportunity and when we embrace being uncomfortable we often learn the most. Our voices are precious and they yearn for freedom and fun!

3 Record yourself

A useful way to evaluate and improve your rehearsal is to record yourself. You can use a video camera, a smartphone, or a computer to capture your presentation. Then, you can watch and listen to yourself and look for areas of improvement. You can check your body language, such as your posture, gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. You can also check your vocal delivery, such as your clarity, fluency, and enthusiasm. Recording yourself will help you spot and correct any mistakes or weaknesses in your presentation.

4 Seek feedback

Another effective rehearsal technique is to seek feedback from others. You can ask a friend, a colleague, or a mentor to watch your presentation and give you constructive criticism. You can also ask them to role-play as your audience and ask you questions or challenge your arguments. Seeking feedback will help you improve your presentation skills and prepare you for different scenarios. It will also help you gain a different perspective and learn from others' opinions and suggestions.

5 Visualize success

One of the final rehearsal techniques to overcome anxiety during a presentation is to visualize success. You can use positive imagery to imagine yourself delivering a successful presentation. You can picture yourself being confident, calm, and clear. You can also imagine your audience being attentive, interested, and impressed. Visualizing success will help you reduce your negative thoughts and emotions, such as fear, doubt, or stress. It will also help you increase your self-esteem and motivation.

6 Relax before the presentation

The last rehearsal technique to overcome anxiety during a presentation is to relax before the presentation. You can use different relaxation methods, such as breathing exercises, meditation, or music, to calm your nerves and ease your tension. You can also use positive affirmations, such as "I am prepared", "I can do this", or "I will succeed", to boost your confidence and optimism. Relaxing before the presentation will help you clear your mind and focus on your goals.

Always be practising. I find the best way to prepare a presentation is to deliver it. I always look for other audiences to deliver content to before the main event. I will constantly seek opportunities to present and use these opportunities to try out new content and fine-tune so when it comes to the big events I am selecting from a pool of existing developed work. I can do all of the other prep suggested here but delivering it gives me a level of insight I have been unable to find any way to replicate. For the earlier versions, find smaller audience where there is the opportunity to experiment and innovate.

If you are someone who gets overwhelmed and finds it difficult to retain information, try chunking it out. For example, start with your introduction and spend 20 minutes saying this out loud, while standing and visualizing yourself in front of your audience. Take a 5-10 minute break. Then return to the presentation and spend 15-20 minutes on the second part of your presentation. Afterwards, go back to the introduction and try putting the two sections together. Take another break. Continue this process until you have gone through the entire presentation. Perhaps do one half in the evening and the other in the morning. Give yourself time to integrate the information. You will learn it faster if you are not stressed out. You have got this!

If your primary concern is anxiety, then your focus is in the wrong place. I would suggest a section in this article for content. The more confident you feel about your material, the better you present. People get most nervous about speaking when they either feel obligated, or they are unprepared.
