However, it’s quite easy today to get feedback on public speaking. In fact, you can do this right now: Grab a video camera. Open your notes or slides for a talk you know (the Gettysburg Address works in a pinch). Videotape yourself presenting it. Five minutes will do just fine. Imagine you have an audience on the wall opposite you, who you should be making eye contact with, and go for it. Then sit down, perhaps with your favorite alcoholic beverage (or seven), and watch.
