As a public speaking instructor on two college campuses in Buffalo, NY, I'm always searching for books on this tricky and anxiety-producing subject. I recently found this user-friendly manual at the Bookworm, a wonderful used bookstore in East Aurora, NY. Folks who are looking for down-and-dirty practical tips about speaking won't be disappointed. Rozakis covers eveyrthing from coping with speech anxiety to the effective use of speaking outlines. People who are expecting to be drafted to deliver toasts, roasts, eulogies or other types of speeches can easily breeze through this book and pinpoint some helpful hints. The author also stresses the importance of crafting riveting introductions and conclusions. There are no scholarly theories served up in this "Idiot's Guide." Instead, it's a practical primer on public speaking. I paid four books for the used book. It's easily worth five times that amount given the laundry list of tips that it provides to aspiring speakers. ( ) no reviews | add a review
