I pick a topic to cover, and then I get a sticky note (or paper :p) And brainstorm key words or sentences so If I ever go off topic or lose something to say I just look at what I`ve written,

After you`ve done them for a few weeks/months you`ll be able to talk more freely / the words will just flow from your mouth lol

Yea, I'm not very good at commentaries so I do it with people so you can bounce off hen while you do it. And yea don't script because it won't flow, like said before

I agree, I wouldnt script something like at, just use some keywords so you don't go too far off track when talking!
