A good way to work on the Umms, is to work on pacing. Umms come about because the brain is not as fast as the speech, so it basically tells you to Umm so that it can catch up with the thoughts. Slowing your speech pace down can really allow you to deliver a more powerful speech, with few umms as well.
Personally, I never liked preping for a speech, other than knowing background information on the topic, and having a few good quotes that I could relate to the topic, along with who said those quotes. I usually do pretty well like this, but my only downfall is my overall time can sometimes be over or under what may be required.
