Practice, practice, practice!

I thought the interview activity was great because it forced me to actually practice. I learned that it's easy to write a good response to an interview question, but that the delivery is much more difficult. I learned I need to practice the delivery much more because it was far more difficult to get my points across than I thought it would be.

I was poor in my delivery. I did not sound very personable and more like I was reading off a script. I was trying to remember how I had written my response rather than just speaking naturally. I was boring in my intonation and overall delivery. I was good, however, at making eye contact and in using applicable examples in my responses. 

Advice I would give to someone prepping for an interview is to practice, practice, practice! It may be uncomfortable, but the interview is going to be uncomfortable, so accept the awkwardness and do it. I would also advise that person to take time to think and decide what you will say before you begin speaking. Having an organized delivery that is easy to follow is important.
