TJ Walker says presenters waste time on slide animations instead of rehearsing out loud and watching themselves on video. Video rehearsal is the only way to actually improve your delivery, body language, and voice.

Chapters

You need to say it out loud and see how it comes across. That's the only meaningful way to edit a presentation. You have to say it out loud and you have to watch it. And in my experience, once someone starts building animation, it crowds out the time to rehearse, and it crowds out the time to rehearse on video, which means it crowds out the time to do a second rehearsal. It crowds out the time to refine the speech. It crowds out the time to get comfortable with your material, to eliminate things that don't make sense, to work on your body language, your voice, and everything else.
