Greetings all. In this class, well, be prepared to talk. You can't afford not to. Whether you're closer to the shy wallflower type or the gregarious extrovert, this class aims to get all involved closer to charismatic orator.
Public speaking is not about delivering presentations read from scripted or copied text. It's about trying to master spoken communication: understanding persuasion, captivating an audience, and exploiting irony, humor, even somberness. It's about human interaction in the moment.
Whatever setting you may find yourself in come the future, the benefits of communicative public speaking skills may prove to be a difference maker. Best of luck.
