The audience for a speech is immediately present, right in front of the speaker, while readers are absent, removed". This statement is said by Warld Ong. The spontaneity we feel while giving or listening to a speech is what makes us choose it rather than reading or writing a text. Even more to that point is mentioned in Dylan Dryer 's article when he stated" Speech employs an extensive array of modalities unavailable to writing: gesture, expression, pacing, register, silence, and clarifications all of which are instantaneously responsive to listeners ' verbal and nonverbal feedback. Even though this difference affects on getting the full understanding of what is written, writing can be better than giving a speech in some way. Before the text …show more content…
So, he chooses a subject through which he tries to get some objectives. Unlike the speech that sometimes does not contain any purpose especially if it is in a family or friends daily conversation. The writer 's goals might be expanding a reader 's culture, summarizing numbers of books or bringing the entertainment to the audience. So, the writer diffidently has a goal beyond his text. Second, the writer considers a certain style and language he is going to use. He makes his decision according to the created audience. This is against the spontaneous speech in which the receivers might vary in age and level of education or interests. The writer frames his thoughts clearly and explicitly. The writer does not stop at this point but he revises the ideas, words and form. Moreover, some writers prefer to give themselves time before they revise the text. All these phases and steps are to make sure that the readers get the exact meaning. This is similar to what Charls Bazerman said in his article" readers share only the words to which each separately attribute the meaning". After all that, the target audience usually get just the writer 's major

For example, in John F. Kennedy’s “Ich bin ein Berliner,” he uses words purposefully, claiming, “When all are free, then we look -- can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great Continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe” (Kennedy). By stating that not everyone has freedom under communism, he intends to convince the world that communism negatively affects the population in order to motivate his audience to escape from their comfort zones and feel obligated to help make a change. Without people who created speeches like Kennedy’s, citizens would not feel very determined and succeed in overcoming global issues. Kennedy made this speech during the same time period as Faulkner’s—the Cold War era. Although Faulkner’s speech was not actually focused on worldwide issues, his hints toward encouraging the anti-Communist side of the world to stand up for themselves reveal his underlying intentions. While simultaneously describing “the writer’s duty,” he fulfills what he believes to be his own duty by implementing references to the state of the world into his speech. Writers and speakers spread information to a vast number of people without even meeting their audience face-to-face, therefore it is their responsibility to take on a bigger role than simply writing about small, less meaningful topics. Instead, they should write in order to promote motivation in their audience as much in addition to expressing their own ideas. In a world where not many humans earn the opportunity to express their thoughts and beliefs on such an immense scale, writers must use their abilities to spread information that benefits the
On the summer of 1924, Clarence Darrow took a case that changed Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb from the gallows. The case just did not save the lives of Leopold of Loeb; it was also one of the trials of the century. For lawyer Darrow, this trial was just not an ordinary trial it was a vital declaration against death penalty which was in the end taken into account. Clarence Darrow’s closing argument took 12 hours long, but it was worth it because the combination of the literary devices he used saved his clients from an execution.
Public communication is very important when in a discussion with coworkers and such. The one weakness that some people run into is silence. The spiral of silence theory by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann explains why certain people fall under the pressure and seclude to silence. Silence may not always be a bad thing, but according to a study by Lucy J. MacGregor, the fact is that silence during a speech or conversation is absolutely bad. With this, silence while talking to a large group negatively affects the listeners in a way in which some words in the speech will not be remembered. The point is that silence tends to destroy people’s speeches. Words are forgotten in the speech; Loss of the attention by the listeners happens and the listeners noticing that the speaker is just trying to delay the speech. As novelist Margaret Atwood has once said “A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together.”
I finally have the power! After a semester of taking a course about hiding glossophobia as best as I can, while juggling critical thinking and persuasion skills in a public speaking setting. I have finally been given the power to judge others, who have set out on the path of becoming a great public speaker, on how well they can hide their own fear of public speaking. Countless minutes have I spent throughout the semester looking for a good speaker to write my critique paper on; someone interesting, speaking about an interesting topic. Someone I deemed the perfect victim of my judgement! In the end I found no one was actually worthy, and I had to resort to the speech intramurals at DVC (also the extra credit was very enticing).
A difficult and literal war on words is how Elinor Donahue begins to describe speech writing. A task that tests the patience and pride of the writer, with one caveat; speech writing does not have to be hard. She suggests eight different ways in which the process of speech writing can be streamlined, successful, accurate, and an organized reflection of the speaker (Donahue, 1996). Speakers must sound like themselves when delivering a speech. As well, it is the writer’s job to remove their own voice without taking the speaker’s personality out of it. After all, a well-written speech is critical, because it presents a breadth of ideas and information that enhances the message.
Confidence and reassurance help build positivity when it comes to the littlest of things such as painting nails without getting any on the surrounding cuticles to the biggest of things like getting in a car and driving for the first time after an accident. As a soccer player runs on a green field, the wind rushing through his hair, he hears the sound of people in the stands cheering over the thundering of his blood in his ears, he can smell the sweat pooling on his body, feel it drip down his chin, but he does not care, all that matters is the white net in front of him and the ball between his feet. He is positive he will score because he has done it before, because people have told him he can do it, and because he believes in himself. Even if the player does not score in this half, he does not decide he will never be able to score again. No, he knows that sometimes you make the goal and sometimes you do not, so long as you have tried your best, given it your all, it will be okay, you can still win the game.

I delivered my informative speech on the psychological aspects of smiling. I used examples of how the brain, body and others around you are affected by your smile. I explained how your brain activates neural messaging, releases tiny molecules and releases your happy chemicals of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins for your health and well being. I presented the audience with an adequate amount of slides with important facts regarding my topic. Credit was given to three sources required for this assignment, Professor Paula Niedenthal, a case study done at the University of Aberdeen and a study conducted in Sweden. I mentioned how smiling affects your body by looking attractive, relaxed, confident,

Public speaking is one of the most under rated skills learned in school, yet is one of the most valuable. The way you communicate shows a lot about you, and can influence other’s opinions of you. In every profession communicatiis important. Good communication skills, no matter what you plan to do in life, will help you out greatly and improve your chances against a harsh job market. I am majoring in Business Administration and Law, and communication is one of the biggest parts of business and law, yet communication is hardly ever taught in business classes for my major. I think that a communications class like public speaking, for example, should be not just for a college class, but taught in high school and middle school as well. I believe several classes would allow anyone to become an expert speaking. The only way to fully learn public speaking is to get up in front of people and talk to them. One can not learn public speaking from a book.
Throughout history, many people have come and gone, but some will never be forgotten for the impact their voice had on the world such as Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, and Patrick Henry. MLK Jr. was a catalyst in encouraging desegregation in America, his “I Have a Dream Speech” was so powerful that people still study, and its impact is still felt to this day. Abraham Lincoln was also an important voice in history, he supported the end of slavery, furthermore, he lead the war against the extremely racist south who were trying to spread slavery across the entire U.S. Lastly, Patrick Henry also had a very memorable voice because of his very vocal stance against taxation, he helped create opposition to being controlled by Great Britain,
