Rehearsing with narration
One secret is to record narration for your entire presentation as if you were presenting. Then run your presentation, and sit back and listen. Choose Slide Show > Narration and follow the instructions. (You'll need a microphone attached to your computer.)
Then go into slide show view and play back the presentation. You get an entirely different perspective when you pretend to be the audience. Listening to your presentation enables you to pick up awkward moments, unclear passages, and boring spots much more easily. Then just turn off the narration before you deliver your presentation. (Choose Slide Show | Set Up show and check Show Without Narration. Click OK.)
