Synopsis

This book focuses on effective public speaking from a myriad of perspectives. It discusses the best qualities of a public speaker, including the role of one's body, voice, mind, and the audience. From the significance of physical health, to the necessity of proper breathing, to the use of exibility, the author details the importance of one's physicality as an orator. The author also explores the role of the voice, arguing that it's the most important tool for the public speaker, and thus requires special care and attention. The author claims that although a singing voice is different from a speaking voice, great orators and great singers are mutually exclusive. Ultimately, this book is an encapsulation of the author's perspective on the qualities needed to be an effective public speaker.
