\n\nPublic Speaking, Rehearsals, and Memorization\u200a \u2013 Or How I Became a Global Keynote Speaker Without Rehearsing Even Once\n\nIf there\u2019s one single thing basically ever guide to public speaking is in agreement on, it is the importance of practice. This agreement is actually so total it is repeated as a mantra, and at times it can feel like speaking guides and speaking coaches are competing about just how obsessively they can emphasize this one piece of advice. According to the received wisdom of public speaking, you should rehearse your speech until you have it memorized, and in addition practice in front of mirrors, a video camera, and\/or long-suffering friends, partners and relatives. So it is written, by the great and the good (not to mention the mediocre) of the public speaking world. Practice makes perfect, and more practice is always better, that is the message. Some speaking coaches insist you\u2019re not ready to go in front of an audience until you\u2019ve got your every word, every movement and every seemingly-casual-but-really-not raised eyebrow memorized.\n\nI couldn\u2019t disagree more. In fact, I believe this advice can, if misunderstood or badly deployed, be damaging more than anything else.\n\nNow, I have given hundreds and hundreds of keynotes, for audiences large and small, all over the world. Yet I\u2019ve never rehearsed a speech. Not once. Not ever. Let me repeat that:\n\nI have never rehearsed a speech.\n\nThis might sound surprising, or even unprofessional, considering that the aforementioned guides insist that one absolutely, positively must run many, many practice-runs before one gives even one speech. And yet I haven\u2019t. What\u2019s up with that?\n\nBefore we continue, it is important to understand the key difference at play here: Despite never rehearsing, at least in the way suggested by the literature on public speaking, I of course have tons of practice when it comes to keynoting. I keynote all the time, learning from each one, honing my trade in front of the only audience that matters, a real, live one. But I\u2019ve never rehearsed an entire speech in front of a mirror. I\u2019ve never tried to memorize a speech, and I don\u2019t even know how I could\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s not like I have them written down anywhere. This latter fact will confuse the hell out of some speakers, the ones I call \u201cthe tinned talk brigade\u201d. These are speakers who don\u2019t really give speeches, they deliver them.\n\nFor some speakers, no matter how casual or off-the-cuff they seem on stage, there really is just the speech, or a couple of them over time. This type of speaker, who can be very professional and good at their craft, writes speeches as complete wholes, with every word and pause carefully measured. Once they feel the speech \u201cworks\u201d, they will start performing it, over and over again, changing little if anything over time. Sure, they will enter a few words here and there, but in more than a few cases this might be as little as changing the opening phrase. For this kind of speaker, rehearsal is of course as important as it would be for an actor, for both read from scripts, if memorized ones.\n\nBut you don\u2019t have to be this kind of speaker.\nNor do you need to rehearse like this kind of speaker, for it isn\u2019t the only way to work. I, for instance, never do the same speech twice. Sure, I may reuse my deck, and we all reuse certain stories, certain points. I have spoken from almost the exact set of slides a few times, specifically when the client has asked me to deliver the same speech twice. In those cases, I\u2019ve given a close approximation of the same speech, but far from an identical one\u200a\u2014\u200asince I don\u2019t write my speeches down I\u2019m just not able to. Even when I try to stick to a script, there are too many opportunities for asides, improvisation, and audience interaction that I end up taking. Which, by the by, makes the speech better.\n\nNow, many from the tinned talked brigade might interject here, and angrily insist \u201cBut we do that too!\u201d. And sure, the best ones totally do (although I\u2019ve seen some dismal cases where the opposite holds). In doing so, however, they also disprove the primacy of rehearsals.\n\nSo that there is no misunderstanding in the matter: I\u2019m not against people rehearsing their speeches. I\u2019m against over-rehearsing them, particularly when you\u2019re starting out. When I say I\u2019ve never rehearsed a speech, that only means I haven\u2019t ever tried to memorize the entire thing, nor have I done dry runs with an entire speech. Still, I do rehearse, in a fashion. When I\u2019m giving a keynote, I may well go over my starting lines in the shower, and think through a number of set-pieces in my mind just before I go on stage. I\u2019m constantly doing test runs of material, sometimes in front of a partner, sometimes in front of students, sometimes in front of live audiences. Any good professional hones their craft.\n\nWhat I\u2019m against is teaching beginning speakers that they need to have everything memorized, and further to imply that rehearsing in front of a mirror is something that should be done for hours and hours. What this often creates is a speaker who is both stilted and artificial, who is hiding their passion behind a set of practiced gestures and just-so laughs, and who by way of this artifice fails to develop the kind of true connection with an audience that develops a speaker. This kind of advice also creates fearful speakers, continuously doubting whether they\u2019ve rehearsed enough, doing practice run after practice run but never really getting to the point you\u2019re supposed to get to, namely the one where it\u2019s just you, your story, and the audience\u200a\u2014\u200ano scripts, no tricks, no programmed aw-shucks gesticulation.\n\nThe entirety of this little rant can be summarized as follows:\n\nDon\u2019t let rehearsing stress you out.\nIn some ways, speakers are like professional athletes, as evidenced by my svelte, athletic figure (the sound you hear may well be my partner wetting herself from laughing). All great athletes train, but they know that training is a different beast from actually being on the pitch or the track. They also know that you can\u2019t become great just by doing the same move a hundred thousand times over. So they put in their basic training, but more than anything, they give everything in the one arena where it truly matters, the live one.\n\nSo rehearse the bits you feel you need to, test the anecdotes that you\u2019re unsure of, and go through things enough to be able to improvise around them. Also remember to go for a walk, watch stand-up and improvised comedy (the best education for a speaker), and just chill out. The real rehearsal is the one that\u2019s no rehearsal at all\u200a\u2014\u200alive and on stage. Don\u2019t memorize to the point where you start to look inauthentic, and don\u2019t become an automaton.\n\nTo reiterate: I\u2019ve worked for many years on my speaking, and have done it successfully in front of audiences the world over. I\u2019ve keynotes major business events, talked for heads of state, and shared the stage with global superstars. Yet I\u2019ve never once memorized a speech, nor rehearsed one in its entirety. You don\u2019t need to either. If you want to, fine. It\u2019s your show. I\u2019m just here to tell you that you have options.\n\nWritten by: Alf Rehn, Professor of management, speaker, writer, and popular culture geek.\n\n<\/div><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
