The Ineffectiveness of Rehearsing in Front of a Mirror
Rehearsing in front of a mirror can lead to distorted feedback and hinder a smooth presentation flow. Although practicing is crucial to improve speaking skills, looking at oneself in a mirror does not provide the necessary perspective on delivery or content. Instead, recording a practice session allows the speaker to review their performance objectively by watching the footage after some time has passed. To maximize the effectiveness of this method, it is suggested to analyze the recording multiple times, initially focusing on body language, then the speech without visual, and finally reviewing both together.
