Useful concise course that explores the best ways to approach speaking events in a range of situations, both large and small audiences such as conferences, classroom presentations, work meetings, and job interviews.

How to prepare your speech, what to wear, body language to use and avoid, voice, and more are discussed. Lots of information in a short course.

Hi , my name is Paul skinner and I’ve been asked to do an in depth review for public speaking.

Ah yes, public speaking!! Those two words will send a lot of people running the other direction , YIKES!

I took a course on public speaking years ago and evidently it was the number #1 fear of people , that’s worse than death !!

Something to think about !

This is an interesting personal observation I made after watching lectures at the university I attended . Even if I wasn’t interested in the subject matter ; the enthusiasm of the orator had me enthused about the subject matter !

How great it that !! They say enthusiasm attracts enthusiasm! I think their right .

I can definitely tell a amateur speaker to a professional speaker . The professional speaker persuades with words , leaving the audience at the edge of their seat with great anticipation.

Being a great orator is like being a world class chef in my opinion; you don’t leave out any ingredients that would make your speech look weak .

No wonder great public speakers are in demand these days ; people need to be inspired to get excited about their lives!

I personally would like to give public speaking a try !! It would be such a thrill to try to master the art of public persuasion .

That doesn’t mean I would have to speak in front of thousands of people ; not at all ! It could just be a hundred or less.

To me you can’t come in with the mindset of giving a perfect speech because your gonna fail . It’s learning from your mistakes and being determined to do better that makes up your character in my opinion!

I was trying to think back a hundred years ago what public speaking was like ?

From what I understand it was the independent thinkers , the ones that went against the grain that people admired I mean who wants to hear the same ol thing from everyone who thought the same right?

In my
Opinion great speakers weren’t born that way but made that way through hard work and dedication.
Public speaking is an exciting venue to get your thoughts across hopefully in a positive way to your audience.

To sum up I think great public speakers are a rare breed and we need to see more of them !!!

I hope this review was helpful in anyway to anyone who wants to try this unique medium !

To the best in public speaking,

Paul skinner ( reviewer on class central)!

Ps all the best

This section helps me a lot to understand the main objectives of public specking. I am a college student and I am preparing my self for job interviews, and I am also trying to upskilled myself for get more confidence. how to express, how to do body movement, about the gesture and very importantly the eye contact. not only in a specific situation I got to know how to shine like a star my self, but also in different kinds of situation. In this video there was a lot of examples videos which is help me to understand better. and most importantly the speaker is very nice, her level of language is vey easy to understand, although I don't know the tough vocabulary she elaborate everything to make understand in a better way. so in conclusion I would like to thank the classcentral.com for this initiatives. I will always remember this section for my entire life

After finishing this course, I feel more confident about myself. I have learned how to control my language, how to use language in front of a crowd. In addition, I also feel that I have learned how to control myself when speaking in a crowded place. I think I can now give a long speech in front of a few hundred people with confidence.

Gostei, achei bem interessante e super didático, ajuda a se desenvolver melhor e a superar esse nervosismo tão grande que as vezes sentimos ao ter que falar em público ou para uma certa quantidade de pessoas, só pelo fato de saber que todos estão com os olhos mirados em você.
