Tremendous waste of money!
31 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
This video is quite possibly the worst public speaking resource I've ever seen.
Even in the examples, speakers make eye contact for no longer than one second, read from cards continuously and have no stage presence. Speakers do not move from their spot and not a single one spoke passionately about anything in my opinion. This is horrible. The videos looked like a group of thirteen year-old children reading a paper aloud.
The study resources are rote: providing the mechanical logical part of memorizing the science of speaking,but teach you nothing about actually speaking.
I would seriously buy something else.

Good quality, delivered quick. This book is identical to the non-international edition except for the cover. I use it in my class and it works just fine.

The Art of Public Speaking

This book was very cheap, brand new, & it was actually the most current version out there. It arrived very fast and it was easy to order. I would recommend this book and ordering books through Amazon to anyone.
