it's a lot of work to do that though. for me it's kind of necessary because i freeze up or get all garbled.

See, I can't do that because if I do happen to deviate from the text I wrote and rehearsed, I stumble and freeze and panic.
I tried that with my first speech and it was horrible. It's that OCD/perfectionist thing in me that said it had to be exactly as written. After that, I wrote "talking points" and rehearsed over and over and over and because each rehearsal was a little different, I was ok with it varying a bit when I gave it. Isn't it funny how we all do the same things so differently
