Authenticity beats eloquence

Susan Dressel ; Joe Chew

Abstract

The authors offer a few simple and effective suggestions that may help a speaker overcome problems of public speaking. These include rehearsing moderately, storing and retrieving main points and supporting points in the order they are planned, talking to a test audience, speaking clearly, maintaining correct posture, nonequivocation, talking rather than reading verbatim, and retaining control.
