Rehearse the real thing
Own the room before you walk in.
Paste your script. Practice structure, pace, and pauses in private. Not a live meeting overlay.
The rehearsal brief
Open Big Talk before the standup or stakeholder update. See where you rush, then fix it while there is still time.
Bring your own conference talk, standup, or stakeholder update
- During the take
- Second-by-second WPM chart so you see where you sped up
- After the take
- Pause quality: the difference between a deliberate beat and a stall
- Before the room
- Warm-ups before you go on: breathing, articulation, vocal range
- The boundary
- Progress charts and Then-vs-Now so rehearsal compounds
