Be Prepared To Speak: The Step-By-Step Video Guide To Public Speaking

This acclaimed guide to the art of public speaking was produced in conjunction with Toastmaster's International. Divided into three parts--speechwriting, speech presentation, and overcoming stage fright--the tape uses a frame device of a sports writer having to give a speech at a business lunch. Breaking down the writing process into three sections, the program advises speakers on how to make a solid introduction, how to organize the main body of the speech, and how to summarize and close. For the presentation, tips on how to practice are accompanied by effective use of gestures. The importance of preparation--including asking questions, about the room size and layout, audience composition, etc.--is stressed. Highly recommended. (See LE LOUVRE for availability).
