Up and down

Fellow speaker,

Design consultant Nancy Duarte suggests when practicing your speech you use a timer to count:
  1. Up - give your speech as normal and when you end, look at the timer to see how much you are over time
  2. Down - once you have the speech so you can give it in the appropriate time, use the timer to count down and notice the times at key moments of your speech - when presenting use the timing of these key moments to determine where you are under, on, or over time in your speech
Interpreting,
