What do people fear the most (besides Alan Greenspan)? Public speaking. Standing up in front of an audience and getting verbal ranks higher on people's greatest fear list than a date with the Grim Reaper himself. Marjorie Brody, a seasoned coach and author, presents--pretty darn professionally herself--this guide to putting together a winning presentation, overcoming stage fright, and using vocal variety and visual flair to effectively deliver your message. Unfortunately, the tape itself is rather lacking in visual flair, with a few cheesy graphics and skits (sometimes applicable, sometimes not) occasionally breaking up the straight talking-head. While not as good as Arch Lustberg's Perfecting Presentations (VL-1/93) or Conquer Your Fear of Public Speaking (VL-3/93), the program is a good one and competitively priced for the subject area. Recommended. Aud: C, P. (R. Pitman)
