Don't have any tips to add, but he gives some great tips when it comes to practicing our presentations.
The one that stood out the most to me was tip #3 to focus on 1 or 2 improvements at a time. Focusing on too many can cause us to poorly develop on each.

2) Features can be ever-green, while news tends to become irrelevant.
3) Features are more for entertainment or promotion, while news is more to inform.

A) Mic Check ❌
You should deal with the technical details before, as something as simple as a mic check might distract your audience and set a tone you don't want.
But hey, sometimes things don't work out. You check it, and it still happens. If so, go on with your speech.

Yes, I agree. Goals allow us to understand what reaction we want or expect from the audience. Based on those same goals, we can clarify how we can achieve them.
You can have multiple goals with a speech, but it's necessary to limit them so you don't confuse your audience.

I'd hit the audience with a hook they can't resist.
It's like the first line of a book; you need to make sure your words will pull the audience in.
Adding some storytelling never hurt anyone. Maybe some comedy or an oddly fun fact. It's up to you and, well, who your audience is.
