How to be a great speaker
I'm interested in speaking skills as it as part of what
I do. I remember some of the speeches Obama gave last year that made hairs stand
on the back of your neck and wondered what it takes to get to that level.
I saw a few weeks ago something on the BBC which was about finding The
Speaker. Whilst most reality programs involve adults this focuses on children. I
was sceptical when I watched the first series thinking I wouldn't be able to
relate. However I've just watched the final and to say I was blown away is an
understatement.
The final speech by Duncan made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
The words, the sentiment and the delivery were just fantastic.
You can find out about the series here http://www.bbc.co.uk/speaker/ If
you are able to watch the series then do so. There are lots of lessons that you
can learn about delivery, content, persona and everything about
speaking.
