Practice, a key to fostering oral presentations

What makes a good athlete? Artist? Is it not practice? When we watch the Olympics or attend a concert, we are viewing the final product but often forget that it took hours, days, months, and/or years of practice to become proficient in the discipline. The same may be said, especially students in introductory oral communication courses, of becoming excellent speakers. It is practice,practice, practice!
