About This Book

A practical manual offers step-by-step instruction in developing fluent, accurate, and impressive extemporaneous public speaking, arguing that eloquence can be taught through disciplined preparation and practice. It outlines four methods of address, exercises in thought-gathering, planning, voice, gesture, imagination, and confidence, and guidance on overcoming initial fear and using debating societies. Detailed chapters explain constructing and using written plans, openings, progression, illustrative techniques, rhetoric, and after-speech conduct, and include model plans and examples to train speakers toward spontaneous yet structured delivery.
