Use key words to preserve the structure while allowing natural phrasing. Time the whole speech, including pauses and any audience interaction. If it runs long, remove or shorten content rather than speaking faster. Practise transitions and the closing as well as the opening.
Rehearse with a clear purpose each time: first check the argument, then timing, then delivery. Ask for specific feedback on what the listener understood and where they became confused. Revise the speech rather than merely repeating it unchanged. A final performance can demonstrate progress on selected skills, but one talk does not establish mastery of public speaking. Keep a brief record of the next improvement so practice continues in a focused way.
