Example
For example, Analyzing your audience and planning for a presentation as well as writing easy to follow notes are just a few steps to prepare for a speech properly. Also speaking out loud is a very important step in practicing speeches.
Illustration
In my college writing class, we were required to give an 8 minute speech, I remember I had not practiced reading my speech out loud. As a result, as I was listening to myself, I became more nervous and ended up speaking too fast. With proper preparation I would not have made that mistake and would have had a more successful speech.

Some listeners are most interested in the statistical data provided to support your claim, while others pay attention during the humerous anecdotes.
