About this title

About the Author:

Malcolm Kushner is an internationally acclaimed expert on humor and communication who has been profiled in a number of publications and appeared on CNN, NPR, and The Larry King Show.

From AudioFile:

Following the tradition of the "Dummies" books, this one describes the basics of successful public speaking. Kushner is a famous speaker who has taught all ages his method of persuasive speaking. Already known for his speaking voice, Kushner made a good decision to read his own book even though he has a heavy New York/New Jersey accent. Unfortunately, he sounds like he is breaking one of his own rules, obviously reading from a script. Although he has appropriate humor and inflections, he still sounds overrehearsed. Despite the stiffness, this production will definitely inform dummies on how to make speeches. A.G.H. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
