- Bring your assignment sheet, if you have one, and any details about the assignment your professor has provided
- Be prepared to deliver a draft version of your speaking assignment
- Be ready to engage with the consultant in a conversation about the strengths of your oral presentation and the ways you can improve it
- Consider videotaping your oral presentation–this is the most powerful single tool for improving your speaking performance
- Be ready to make changes to improve your overall effectiveness as a speaker
