Public Speaking Blogs: The Definitive List

Public Speaking Blogosphere

The public speaking blogosphere: a large and varied space with fuzzy edges spanning many disciplines. There are public speaking blogs which focus on speech delivery, visual presentation design, speechwriting, humor, personal development, and interpersonal communication.

Public Speaking Bloggers: A Diverse Group

One is a world champion speaker; some speak professionally; others chronicle their first speaking steps. Many are authors – some more than once. Many are Toastmasters. Or were Toastmasters. Or recommend joining Toastmasters. Women and men. Young and old.

The only unanimous traits are (1) a passion for giving so that others may be educated and entertained, and (2) a way to subscribe to their articles with an easy subscription.

Learn from the Public Speaking Blogosphere

I compiled this snapshot of the public speaking blogosphere with three primary aims:

  • To aid readers in the discovery of excellent public speaking blogs;
  • To build ties within the community of bloggers;
  • To provide encouragement to current and future public speaking bloggers.

For each blog below, sample articles are linked to give a flavor of the blogger’s style.

Twitter List

You can find a comprehensive Twitter List containing all of the known Twitter accounts for these bloggers here: @6minutes/public-speaking-bloggers .

If you know of a blog that should be added, or if one of the blogs listed below is no longer available, or if you have any other ideas for updating the list, please contact Six Minutes.

Andrew, this is an amazing blog list! I’ve got my work cut out for me now trying to read all the new ones I hadn’t heard of before. And I’m the heaviest poster on the list? Wonder what that says about me. . . I have no life? Let’s go with “I’m a giver!”

Thanks for posting this; I’m going to link to it in the next few days.

Thanks for a very interesting post.

http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/84527/2EE35C36C4CE

I have a new post on my blog that includes liks to several LinkedIN groups related to public speaking.

Andrew Dlugan — Apr 8th, 2008

FYI: Here is the article in which Barry mentions LinkedIn groups for speakers.

Lee Potts — Apr 18th, 2008

Hi Andrew,

Great idea!

I was wondering if you might be willing to add my new site to the list. It called Breaking Murphy’s Law (http://breakingmurphyslaw.com) and it’s about preventing and dealing with all the things that can go wrong when you’re presenting (or when you provide support for a presenter).

Thanks,
Lee

Lisa B. Marshall — Apr 29th, 2008

Hi Andrew,
Wow! Thanks for taking the time to compile this. Would you consider adding my blog for science and technology professionals “-Art of Speaking Science http://artofspeakingscience.com
Also, I’ll soon be joining the Quick and Dirty Tips gang as the “People Skills Pro” –coming end of June, 2008
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com

Andrew Dlugan — May 8th, 2008

Lee, Lisa, Olivia and 10 others bring the list to 106 public speaking blogs.

Andrew Lightheart — May 19th, 2008

Hi Andrew

It was partially from reading this list when it was still 27 public speaking blogs that I started my blog!

I blog (and speak, and write and train..) on authentic and intelligent communication skills. The blog is mainly about presentations (with analysis of online presentations) with books and posts about real and smart communication (as opposed to fake and dumb).

I’d love to be part of your list!

GREAT work

Andrew (another one!)

Andrew Dlugan — May 25th, 2008

Andrew: That’s wonderful to hear. You are fulfilling one of the primary aims of this list: “To encourage current and future public speaking bloggers.”

Kathy Reiffenstein — Jun 5th, 2008

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for compiling this amazing list and resource. Your recently picked up one of my articles for your weekly round up. Thanks!

I’d love you to consider adding my blog, Professionally Speaking, to this impressive list. I blog on all things to do with business presentations at: http://www.andnowpresenting.typepad.com/professionally_speaking

Thanks,
Kathy

Josh Holmes — Jun 9th, 2008

Andrew – Great list! I’ve been blogging a lot more recently about public speaking recently (http://snurl.com/jhspeaking). As a former ToastMaster (too much going on recently to stay involved), I’m trying to raise the level of the speakers at the community events that happen in the mid-west.

Matt Bailey — Sep 3rd, 2008

It’s great to see there is lots of advice out there for public speaking. A great art to master! I used to get the sweaty palms and shaking but after presenting every week in Dale Carnegie’s course, it doesn’t seem to happen anymore. I recommend practicing in anyway you can to get rid of that nervousness. Once that is gone, it is easier to concentrate on bringing excitement into your tone to attract your audience to what you are saying.

Rajagopalan — Sep 7th, 2008

Hello everyone, I am looking forward to reading something on how to prepare a Toast Speech – not just the Wedding/Best man stuff, but something to honour say, Toastmasters itself ! any blogs that i might have missed out??

Raj

Chuckypita — Oct 21st, 2008

Gosh, I have to say – this is one of the most impressive public speaking blogs I’ve ever seen.

Jonathan Bender — Dec 1st, 2008

Thanks for compiling these great resources! Readers may also be interested in my blog, WholeSpeak. I provide a holistic perspective on public speaking, with tips on how we “perform” in everyday life and how to make it more authentic and enjoyable.

Warwick John Fahy — Dec 16th, 2008

A great resource. Just a quick note to say I appreciate you taking the time to put this together.

Wonderful article.

I failed the first grade because I could not read. I failed algebra five times. I failed English in the tenth grade. I graduated high school with a 1.9gpa on probation for bad behavior. I failed out of three different community colleges…the first class I failed was public speaking. But not I am a public speaking professor. Life is funny!

Pete — Feb 7th, 2011

I had not considered Handouts before but I can see the value in them. The audience has already had time to absorb the information on the topic that you are going to speak about.
Thanks for the tip.

Ted — Apr 5th, 2011

Thanks for providing us with all of these great blogs to use as a resource. I took a public speaking class in college but it’s been so long that I get so nervous again, like before I took the class. I will read through as many of these blogs as I can until I feel prepared for my speech. Thanks again!
