The essential guide to preparing and delivering powerful, eloquent, and well-received speeches, reducing panic and nervousness, and enjoying all types of speaking engagements.

From Library Journal

This is a well-written, clearly organized, and informative guide to speechwriting and public speaking. Cook, founder of Cook's Canned Speech Company, provides the reader with good advice on topic selection, speech construction, and delivery techniques. His suggestions are practical and can be used by a wide audience, ranging from students taking Speech 101 to business executives wanting to improve their presentation skills. Throughout the book are examples from a variety of sources that illustrate specific points explained in the text. In this crowded subject field, where many good titles already exist, this book is nevertheless recommended for libraries seeking one more readable, useful, and up-to-date resource.
