Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the principles of effective speech for all types of speaking apart from public addresses. The author believes that public speaking should be studied after developing general speaking abilities. The text begins with the importance of interesting and effective speaking in everyday life while acknowledging that it is a skill that takes time and training to develop. There is a science and an art to speaking, with the science based on psychology, physiology, and physics. The science of speech deals with how one speaks, while the art deals with the act of speaking and is the outgrowth of training. The book outlines twenty-two principles of effective speech, including the importance of attention and interest, adapting your thought to your audience, being clear, being logical, using correct grammar, and being sociable. Attention is the most important consideration for the speaker, and must be continually commanded to hold interest. The author provides various examples of how attention may be commanded and lost. The book asserts that speech is a social function that demands a social attitude of mind toward the person or audience being addressed. A conversational attitude is at all times the basis of effective speaking. Finally, the author emphasizes that all sounds possess certain influence upon the mind, and that the human voice is a wonderful instrument capable of commanding attention and interest through its qualities of pitch, force, and timber.
