Speaking infront of an audience

 Be Heard Now!: How to Speak Naturally and Powerfully in Front of Any Audience (2 Cassettes)
Be Heard Now!: How to Speak Naturally and Powerfully in Front of Any Audience (2 Cassettes)

 

The author and creator of "Speaking Circles" reveals all! He teaches how to overcome the fear of speaking in public and how to communicate effectively. The primary trick is to talk to members of the audience as though they are your best friends. This effective technique and practice exercises to achieve it are described in detail, along with vignettes on how people have applied the technique in their lives. Unfortunately, Glickstein needs practice with enunciation and intonation. His delivery style is so relaxed and "personal" that he drops his voice at the ends of his sentences, so the listener cannot hear him. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
