Roommate's Speech Preparation

My roommate and I have extremely different speech preparation techniques.

My roommate has decided to take The King's Speech approach, as in practicing with music loudly blaring as she verbally practices.

Oh, this isn't just your average music, no no. This is Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield."

My roommate rocks.

On a different note....
I've decided that it's best to not practice at all. It's because I limit myself to an exact verbatim of what I had practiced, and if I veer from what I had practiced, then I get completely lost. So, it's best to simply be well-versed in the information, and then passionately kill it with delivery. You should know it well enough to be able to talk about it for 7+ minutes from the heart - that is, if you treat every boring speech as if it were the next best thing. This approach minimizes the risk of actually messing up, looking like a boring fool, and nerves.

My roommate still rocks.
