Pros and Cons in Preparing Speeches Highlighted in Self Published Book
How To Prepare a Pretty Good Speech points out the importance of preparing a good speech before addressing the public.
Bloomington, IN, July 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Public speaking is a tricky thing. Whatever you say can and will be used against you in any possible way. The words that come out of your mouth can weigh in heavily on any issue or circumstance you speak on and the more popular you are the greater the weight of your comments.
Take the example of President Barack Obama who made a public comment on the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. last week. His words have themselves become an issue on their own and the President is now facing the consequences of his spontaneous response.
Political observers implied that Mr. Obama's reaction was atypical of his public speaking behavior, even when speaking extemporaneously. Advisers say that this was a case of the President speaking his mind on a particular issue. However, speaking one's mind might not be the best idea when it comes to public speaking, especially if you are the head of the most powerful nation of the world. Perhaps President Obama should have just prepared a good speech on the matter at hand before speaking publicly.
Author Mark G. Woods would have suggested the same thing. In fact, he encourages the comprehension of the basic principles speech preparation in his self-published book, How to Prepare a Pretty Good Speech. Woods, a speech professor at Baker College of Auburn Hills, shares his expertise in the area of speaking publicly, as he dispels myths - good and bad - about perfect speech. He gives emphasis on proper preparation in his Xlibris release as the key to becoming a better speaker - something President Obama might need more of.
How To Prepare a Pretty Good Speech is a useful resource for anyone – from students to professionals, including prominent figures like President Obama – who will, at one point or another, have the opportunity to speak publicly.
