| Summary | "How to Become a Public Speaker" by William Pittenger is a comprehensive guide on the art of public speaking written in the late 19th century. The book explores the principles and techniques necessary for effective oratory, arguing that anyone with a sincere desire and determination can learn to speak well in public. It aims to equip readers with the skills to communicate their thoughts clearly and persuasively. At the start of the text, the author addresses the commonly held belief that public speaking is an innate talent rather than a learnable skill, arguing against this notion by emphasizing the importance of practice and training. Pittenger outlines the prerequisites for becoming a skilled speaker, including the cultivation of both thought and emotion, as well as the significance of structure in speech-making. He also hints at various methods of preparation for public address, such as reading widely, participating in debates, and engaging in practical training to build confidence and fluency. Through practical advice and theoretical insights, the opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the components of effective public speaking. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
