Dd Jakes Best Speaker

Throughout this reflection paper, you will see a wide variety of aspects that deal in the realm of speech. I will be covering topics that deal with the overall thesis of speech as seen through my mind, how the diversity of perspectives model has helped become a response thinker, and the strengths and challenges I had faced on the Eight Speaker Competencies form throughout my time in the course. Next, I will be describing how the Brief Outline and PowerPoint presentations I have created for each of my speeches were both beneficial and detrimental in my journey to success. Then, I will be highlighting my experience in the both the Speaker’s Lab and my three presentations during the course. Finally, I will be discussing my overall experience

Patrick Henry was better at persuading his audience because he used a convincing combination rhetorical questions and imagery. Patrick Henry's use of logical and emotional appeals to make his audience believe in his cause. His purpose for speaking and his ambitious ideas also helped make his speech stronger. Jonathan Edwards speech was good, but the fear that he instilled in his audience crippled them instead of pushing them to action, like Henry's speech did.

People need to have a certain type of voice to make a speech effective. To make a speech effective it depends on your tone of voice and how you deliver your speech. If you deliver your speech effectively, it could be memorable and even make a great impact on the world. An example of a speaker that made a great impact on the world is, Martin Luther King Jr, who delivered the famous I Have a Dream speech. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights activist and he wanted to make a change in America. King wanted American’s to treat each other equally and not have discrimination against people depending on what race they were. King’s speech is effective because of the tone and rate he uses, his reasonable arguments, and his use of repetition

Moving on from Pathos we have Ethos that make the speech credible; One great example is the president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Since the president is well-known about everywhere in the U.S., it makes the speech more reliable and trustworthy. Another important aspect that makes the speech credible is that the speech is given in front of the whole nation (through radio) including: people of the U.S., Congress, Vice president, Speaker of the House, members of the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

The speaker was a very tall man standing about 6’0 feet tall in height. He was a slim man built like a runner. He had short, sandy blonde hair slicked back. He had a fair complexion with emerald green eyes and wore black glasses. He did not were any jewelry. He wore a navy suit with a crisp, white shirt with a rose colored tie. The preacher spoke with a deep baritone voice. He spoke loud and clear and delivered his sermon at a great pace. His speech was well prepared and easy for everyone to understand. He had the appropriate amount of eye contact with the audience and connected well with the audience in ways that made you feel comfortable. His facial expressions were right on point with what he was saying. Sometimes a more serious look, and at other times, very calming looks. The pastor moved back and forth during the whole sermon, sometimes waving his hands all over the place. He used PowerPoints to get his message across to the audience. He also used note cards and the Bible to deliver his

William Lutz and Russell Conwell are the two rhetoric speakers I have chosen. Conwell, a very intelligent, religious, and ambitious man, wrote a remarkable speech and read it thousands of times to thousands of people. Raising thousands of dollars, he used that money to build Temple University. With such a compelling speech, he encountered many people who enjoyed his work and his words are still remembered to this day. Conwell connects with audience on an emotional level, he almost befriends his audience. Talking to them as if they are on the same level, no matter who they are, almost as if they were his friend. For example, he uses words like “friends” and “our”,

In the famous speech, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, by Jonathan Edwards, he focuses on persuading his audience to be born again. He speaks in a calm, monotone voice and never makes direct contact with the audience. Isn’t a good speaker supposed to have qualities such as direct eye contact, hand gestures, and a variety of voice tones? So how did Jonathan have such a powerful and famous speech without using any of the listed qualities? He created a persuasive speech by threatening Hell, frightening the audience with multiple archetypes, and describing how massively their religion has changed.

"Lincoln was a master communicator." Lincoln presented his ideas in way that conveyed understanding of his followers' priorities as well as focusing on his larger purpose. He used the three best words a leader can use "you," "we" and "us". He involved others in his message and would listen to others' ideas and could make a decision after hearing all ideas. He also had passion for the subject. He showed enthusiasm when he spoke and wasn't listless or disengaged.

It is important for leaders to be able to communicate their viewpoints. In fact, according to The Leadership Project for America, “He won several different awards as the best student speaker in America while at College at Harvard.” Ted Cruz, having won these awards, obviously knows how to effectively and clearly speak to anyone who may listen to him. “Cruz was also semi-finalist in the 1995 World Universities Debating Championship” (“Ted Cruz President 2016 | Ted Cruz for President”). Having won this award, Ted Cruz has proved that he is able to calmly but firmly argue with people about a certain topic, but not come across as arrogant. He is able to get his point across and explain why he feels that he is right. Although he has these achievements, some people may believe he is not the greatest speaker on conservative values. However, according to an article posted by The Leadership project for America, a profile commented on how good he is at communicating about conservative values, saying “He is a very effective and unflappable communicator of conservative values, and while no one was Reagan but Reagan, Ted Cruz is the best articulator of conservative values at the national level since Reagan.” Ronald Reagan was one of the most influential conservatives to have ever have served as President. Ronald Reagan was a very talented speaker and people loved listening to him speak. He preached and expressed his values so

I took a public speaking class at NAU; however, I merely enrolled in this course because it was a requirement and I failed to fully embrace the meaning of the concept. This capstone, on the other hand, has accomplished in convincing me of the true power in communication. Professor Stroh arranged for several guest speakers, each with their own unique communication style, to address our class. I admired the abilities of each speaker and acquiring their skillset is a primary goal I have for the future. For example, Paul Melcher spoke eloquently, his lecture was well-structured, and he did not rely on notes for support. Consequently, I will strive to incorporate his strengths as a speaker in my effort to establish a dialogue with

We should study spoken language as it is truly unique and we can see the effect and beauty of spoken language in works of great orators and writers. Spoken language is truly an art, which involves many techniques to perfect and master it. One of the techniques is rhetoric. Rhetoric is the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing. The ancient Greeks first developed public speaking. Under Roman, influence public speaking developed further. This was heavily under the influence of Cicero and Aristotle. The speeches I have chosen to study are the closing speech of Atticus Fitch in the novel to “Kill a Mockingbird” and the “Battle of Falkirk” by William Wallace in the movie “Brave heart.”

There have been some arguments as to who should be nominated best speaker in History. Indeed, choosing the best speaker in History is not an easy task. We should keep in mind that one of the most important criteria for someone to be the best speaker in History is that their speeches must have a lasting impact on their audience (Mckay). Namely, they must effect change, in thought or deed, in their audience. With this in mind we can see how some try to argue against the fact that this is what Winston Churchill did.

My communication skills have been a great asset to both my personal and work life. It has strengthened my ability to work in harmony with co-workers and in group settings. Although I communicate quite effectively I do find myself to be more quiet in large group settings and dislike public speaking. My recent position in community nursing required me to take on multiple roles as an educator and helped me work on my public speaking skills.

Throughout the course of time there have been many world renowned orators, that have forever changed history. The power to speak and captivate an audience is a gift that not many possess. There are have been numerous leaders throughout the world that have achieved this gift and have put it to use. There have been both positive and negative outcomes of public speaking by famous leaders. Whether it was African-American civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr., changing the world and the views of people for the better with his “I Have A Dream” speech, or German dictator, Adolf Hitler, pushing his anti-semitic views through his Nazi speeches, people listened. People will always listen to these speeches and take away something different

Before Golen’s study, no studies determined factors of barriers to effective listening, but many studies showed factors or groups of similar listening behaviors. A study of 127 college students, done by Barker, Watson, and Kibler (1984) found that delivery, credibility, speaker’s voice, interestingness, understandability, and clarity were used to determine speaker effectiveness by listeners.
