What is the secret of telling a good ghost story?
How should a speechwriter mark up copy so that the speaker will deliver the message with emphasis and pauses in the right places? You as a writer think it’s obvious, but that’s not always the case.
I have two questions:
1. How do I master the art of timing when telling a joke?
2. What are the basics of telling a good story?
What observable characteristics separate a competent speaker from a great speaker? Most of the important characteristics — attitude, caring about the audience, knowing your topic — are unobservable. But as I watch a speaker, what’s the difference?
Question:
Would you give any tips and coping techniques for non-native speakers to speak and present in English?
What are some little known techniques to add humor to your speech. This is the hardest aspect of writing a speech for me and several Toastmasters friends.
Thanks
I teach a college speech class. The most common struggle my students have is the use of filler words such as um and uh. Do you have a strategy that helps to omit filler words?
For an impromptu speech say like toastmasters tabletopics does one go prepared.
are there any books for imprompt speeches
Yeah, what about when you don’t present in your mother tongue? What’s to consider/avoid?
