Chapters on using humor, visual support, and presentational skills and strategies set this book apart from any other on the market.

  • A practical approach–Emphasizes what works; not padded with theory and ideas.
    • Gives students the tools they need to communicate effectively and efficiently.

  • A professional's point of view–Written by a noted professional speaker with a Ph.D. in public speaking, this text focuses on the importance of this topic.
    • Provides students with public speaking ability, a trait that will prove invaluable in their future careers.

  • Individual and group exercises with a focus–Scattered throughout the book, these center on organizing a speech, collecting humorous stories, using the voice effectively, constructing visual aids, and much more.
    • Enables students to practice and learn concepts of preparation and presentation as they read about them.

  • Outstanding coverage of supporting material–Clarifying support, proof support, humorous support, and visual support; supporting material sets apart good talks from poor ones.
    • Enables students to see clearly how to use supporting material effectively in their own presentations.

  • Emphasis on both presentational strategies and skills–Emphasizes extemporaneous speaking, yet gives outstanding treatment of manuscript speaking.
    • Provides students with practical advice and lists on handling an audience, controlling nervousness, conducting question and answer sessions, and more.
