Sinossi
Excerpt from Notes on Public Speaking: For the Classes in Public Speaking, Cornell University
Young men should express themselves. From the cradle up we develop through Self-expression. Our keenest gratification comes from self-expression. This takes many forms, but'surely not the least of these is speech. Moreover, to stand before one 's fellows and try to influence and control them, is to develop personality and leadership. We learn through self-expression. No impression without express'ion, says William James in his Talks to Teachers (p. Nothing is ever true to any man until he has formulated it for Others, says Professor william'harder Squires. And this expression must not be put off till the plastic years are passed, waiting till deep study and large experience may have combined to furnish a commanding interest. Not only will the development be one-sided, but also facility in expression will be lacking; for the assumption that whoever has something to say will Say it well, is, as Cicero says, plausible but not true. It is only a great half-truth. At any rate, it often fails to be true. It would seem to be enough to call to mind the boredom we all Suffer from lecturers who really have something to say, but who struggle most painfully in the say mg of it. Even When we do listen. For the sake of the message, there is great waste of attention.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the misconception that public speaking is a daunting, unnatural act. Instead, the author presents it as an extension of everyday conversation, emphasizing the importance of naturalness and sincerity. The book delves into the historical shift in American public speaking, moving away from the grandiloquent style of the past towards a more conversational approach. Central to the author's method is the concept of "conversational delivery," which involves a deep understanding of the subject matter and a strong connection with the audience. The book explores the mental processes involved in effective speaking, such as attention, imagination, and feeling, providing practical guidance on how to develop and utilize these faculties. Furthermore, the author critiques common pitfalls in public speaking, including absent-mindedness, soliloquizing, and overreliance on mechanical techniques. The importance of eye contact, vocal variety, and audience engagement are highlighted as key elements of successful communication. Ultimately, this book empowers readers to embrace public speaking not as a performance, but as an opportunity for genuine connection and impactful dialogue. By understanding the psychological underpinnings of effective speech and adopting a conversational mindset, individuals can unlock their potential to become confident and persuasive communicators. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
