Summary

At all stages of the public speaking process, readers learn how to develop and apply strategies to speaking situations they encounter throughout their lives. David Zarefsky, one of today's leading scholars in speech communication, encourages readers to think through and about the public speaking process. Zarefsky urges readers to consider the diversity of audiences, occasions, and speakers and to choose a specific purpose, a relevant topic, and the appropriate material to make their speeches successful. This new edition focuses on providing readers with more diverse and clearer examples, updated information on technology, and useful speech-making guidelines. For those interested in enhancing their public speaking skills.
