Give a one-minute talk to a mirror

Speak for one minute on any topic as if to an audience.

Why it helps

Speaking gets easier with repetition. A mirror or camera lets you notice pace, filler words and posture.

How to do it

1. Pick a topic you know, like your favourite meal.
2. Speak for sixty seconds without stopping.
3. Note one thing to improve, such as slowing down.

Make it easier

Speak for thirty seconds.

Make it harder

Record yourself and watch it back.
