I enjoy reading this one. Public speaking is not just an easy thing. It involves practice and experience through time. This book may help in a way but still it's up to the speaker to learn how to stand up straight, face the audience and connect. Sometimes infront is a nerve racking experience but as we go along you'll just say "nice to see you all" with a practice smile 😊

This is the only Public Speaking text book I've ever read, but I found it to be rather good. It helped to give me ways of thinking about preparing a speech and understanding how to do it effectively. All of this will come with practice, which we get a little bit out of out of the class. Even without a class, I think there'd be benefit in reading it. The book teaches that the act of Public Speaking is about communicating to/with the audience. Everything else pretty much follows from that main point.

Really enjoyed this book that went with my intro to public speaking class. Not complex but nice detail explanations.

It's about on par for an introductory Speaking course for college. Same basic inane information presented on the same manner. That's it...
