9780205931095: Public Speaking: Finding Your Voice (10th Edition)

Synopsis

Helps students become better speakers in their classrooms, workplaces, and communities


This top-selling, comprehensive introductory public speaking title highlights and develops the theme of “Finding Your Voice.”  It helps students develop as speakers and as people, as they gain presentation skills and confidence, discover causes that interest and engage them, and give them a sense of purpose.  This theme reinforces the book’s primary goal of helping students to become better communicators in their classrooms, workplaces and communities.

 

MyCommunicationLab is an integral part of the Osborn/Osborn/Osborn/Turner program.  MediaShare allows students to post speeches and share them with classmates and instructors.  Interactive videos provide students with the opportunity to watch and evaluate sample speeches.  Online self-assessments and pre- and post-tests help students assess their comfort level with public speaking and their knowledge of the material.

About the Author

Randall Osborn has been teaching classes in rhetoric and public speaking for over twenty years. He received his PhD in Speech Communication from Indiana University in 2003, and his research interests lie in political communication and the intersection between racial identification and the rhetorical construction of a new south. He has taught public speaking and other courses at the University of Arkansas, Indiana University, and Dyersburg State Community College, and has held professorships at Indiana University South Bend, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the University of Memphis. In 1996, he was awarded the Indiana Speech Tradition Award for Excellence in Teaching Public Speaking. He currently teaches courses in oral communication at the University of Memphis.

 

Michael Osborn is Professor Emeritus at the University of Memphis, retiring in 1995 after 30 years as professor and department chair at the University.  He had taught previously at American University and the University of Iowa, where he returned some years later to teach a seminar as the A. Craig Baird Distinguished Visiting Professor.  He also served as visiting professor at the Universities of North Carolina, California-Davis, Indiana, Louisiana State, New Mexico, and Vanderbilt. He served as president of the Southern States Communication Association and of the National Communication Association, and received the distinguished service awards from both organizations.  He also served as chair of the board of Humanities Tennessee, on which he sat for many years as an appointee of the governor. In 1970 he was the nominee of the Democratic Party for the U. S. House of Representatives from Tennessee’s Ninth District. His research has been recognized by the NCA’s Golden Anniversary Monograph Award, the Charles H. Woolbert Award for research of enduring influence, and the Ehninger Award for sustained work in an area of rhetorical study.  The Osborn Award is presented annually by SSCA recognizing a career in the Southern region balanced among outstanding contributions to scholarship, teaching and service.
