STUDY OF MODEL SPEECHES

MODEL SPEECHES, WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR THEIR STUDY


There is no better way for you to improve your own public speaking than
to analyze and study the speeches of successful orators.

First read such speeches aloud, since by that means you fit words to

Carefully note any special means employed--story, illustration, appeal,
or climax,--to increase the effectiveness of the speech.
