Product Description

Public Speaking For Dummies (9780764559549): Malcolm Kushner: Books. Public speaking is one of the major fears people have, right up there with death and dentists. Now, two authors have put their advice for aspiring speakers on audio, and while the material may overlap some, listeners will find much to learn from each. Kushner, a professional speaker, narrates Public Speaking for Dummies and packs it full of solid information and advice. While this covers most aspects of public speaking, the majority of the tape focuses on preparationApicking a topic, finding out about the audience and location of the speech, and organization. Although some of his advice is common sense, all of it is quite helpful, and listeners will find several tips they may never have thought of. The tape clearly is an abridgment of a much more in-depth work (Successful Presentations for Dummies), and while Kushner's delivery is fine, the overall tone is that of a good book with most of the humor and elaboration removed for time's sake. Still, this is a solid instructional work that covers its topic well; an ideal purchase for audio collections, especially in libraries that have much demand for the Dummies series. The set by Chorbajian demonstrates how the audio medium can be used to its full potential. Although she covers some of the same topics as Kushner regarding preparation and content, she also offers instruction on the actual oratory of the speech, reflecting on such skills as pausing and stressing certain words for effect. She also gives tips on dealing with the fear of speaking before groups and how to triumph over such things as suddenly going blank in the middle of a speech. Packed with clear illustrations of speaking skills and full of extremely helpful information, Public Speaking & You is very highly recommended for all audio collections (and all librarians preparing for a speaking engagement!).ASally G.
