Make an outline with everything you may need to know. You don’t want to sound like youre reading off a script but it does help to have some notes and information written down. Also prepare for all types of questions you may be asked. Also drink a good amount of water a couple days before so ur voice is nice and clear, cough drops help too, especially after talking for a while. (Don’t drink a lot of water right before though, you don’t want to have to go the bathroom) just keep a bottle nearby if your voice gets hoarse. Good luck 😁
