About the Book This book is a must for anyone suffering from stage fright, podium panic, or speech anxiety; i.e., a number one phobia in the world. It addresses all of the obstacles faced by both the novice and those who would like to become a more effective speaker. The book has been designed specifically for someone who wants to discover what makes a good speech and what makes a good speaker. In conversational language, the serious-minded reader will learn how to incorporate humor into a speech without sacrificing the rhetorical elements of public address. Another unique feature of the book consists of learning how to address a visually or hearing-impaired audience. A generous portion of its pages then invites the reader to make written entries and critique a serendipitous collection of original speeches. Stressed is the author's sincere belief that everyone can learn how to become a better speaker and overcome such emotional roadblocks as anxiety, frustration, and the debilitating nervousness that usually accompanies speechmaking. All that is required of the reader is patience, motivation, and a firm conviction that they will succeed.
