It helps to ignite the charm that often gets overwhelmed by public speaking anxiety, and also it discourages over reliance on notes while giving presentation. When we are practicing in front of mirror we don't have to wait for the reply. Instead, we can correct ourselves. By rehearsing in front of mirror will help to see ourselves in real time, gauge our effectiveness and make instant adjustments.
