Description
Erect the edifice of your eloquence on four solid pillars--speaker and audience psychologies, effective thinking patterns, rich rhetorical devices, and confident and polished performance. This book goes beyond teaching you how to make a good speech for a good grade in the college classroom, accomplished perhaps through emulation of good student speakers or through use of contrived techniques such as 5 X 7 note-cards or stilted verbal transitions. This book purports to train you to master the art of eloquence --by yzing how great speeches are made in history and in real life, by elucidating the true instrumentality of eloquence, and by illustrating the canonical tradition of great oratory. This book aims to inspire those that aspire to be the "orator-leader." And this must be done via emulation of oratorical giants. The book's appendices provide rich resources for rhetorical studies and a one-stop guide for correctly pronouncing words and famous names whose phonetic renditions pose a challenge.
