Characteristics Of Bona Fide For The Audience

Speechmakers understand the importance of using persuasive strategies to attract the attention of their listeners. Politicians especially, use communicative devices that are powerful enough to elicit interest from their audience. In his trial, Socrates understood the importance of using rhetorical appeal in his Apology speech, which over the years has been used by many public speakers when delivering speeches as well as in advertising. Communicators who understand the effects of ethos, pathos, and logos, also known as rhetoric devices, experience success in delivering speeches that are effective and well received, a good example is the "I have a Dream Speech” by Martin Luther King Jr.

When attempting to present a certain perspective to an audience, the speaker must not merely string a list of monotonous and meaningless words together and call it a speech. Rhetoric, also known as persuasive elocution, has the power to captivate an audience and is essential to any effective oration. In his 2008 Republican Convention speech, actor Fred Thompson lends his support to John McCain’s presidential campaign in order to convince American voters to do the same. Appealing to his audience’s patriotism and sense of responsibility while also discrediting the possibility of a successful Democratic nominee, Thompson delivers a memorable presentation laced with passion, light-hearted humor, and, most especially, hope for a better future lead

Journal one of the Westminster College class EDU 562 Field Experience was related to observation and participation with a first grade classroom, on Monday, January 4, 2016. Upon arrival the class teacher provided instructions to assist in the set up of the classroom January calendar, make a graph of the lunch choices, and to pass out morning work for the students to complete as they arrived in the classroom. At 8:30 a.m. the teacher welcomed most of the students with excitement as they entered the room. She informed the students in detail and repeated the routine and morning arrival instructions. Once everyone arrived, the teacher rang a bell which symbolized it

An effective orator utilizes the rhetorical appeals of credibility, reason, and emotion to find common values among the audience. Furthermore, despite constructing a sufficient script of relatable vocabulary, a speaker ultimately must use a specific persona and delivery to better connect with the audience. For instance, in George W. Bush’s 9/11 speech, the transcript alone does not provide enough description to fully convey the true, tragic emotions of the occasion. While watching the video it is clear his posture, persona, and delivery reinforce the president’s ethos, pathos, and logos. Initially, Bush establishes his credibility and trust by incorporating first-person plural pronouns like, ‘we’ and ‘our.’ He relates to the audience by referring

It is not relatively easy to be a great speaker. To pull your audience to you, and have them consuming every sentence you prepare for them, every word you breathe. Your audience has to believe in you, trust you. They need hope and encouragement. Every word produced, and every expression given away, has to be a part of the plan. Essentially, prevailing as a great speaker is an art; an art that must be practiced and polished until a fresh gem is formed. President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are not unaware of this powerful tool.

Whether I like it or not I been given the opportunity to talk to large crowds like a squadron or just a couple of people in the class. My problems have always been the same getting shy, anxiety, and even sweating. Learn to analyze the size of the audience, I want to be able to captivate my audience and overall I just need to find the confidence in myself to do it.

The student body is subject to the forces of discipline and control. In public schools, this discipline is a way to control daily operations and actions of students. Docility is achieved through these actions of discipline. Schools act as machines for transforming and controlling students. To achieve this, they fix individuals in time and space. The process of organizing individuals in space works within a large space that is divided into parts, such as the school building. Discipline depends on the idea of a series, such as a line of pupils. The control of time is also used in schools. Students are controlled by a timetable. On this timetable Foucault wrote, “its three great methods – establish rhythms, impose particular occupations, regulate cycles of repetition – were soon to be found in schools…” (149). The school bell is a device that is utilized. When it rings, the entire student body moves along to another location or activity. The effect of time also includes machines like clocks and the political technology that regulates the individual’s time. Time is divided up like space, according to a detailed plan. The control of space and time affects the way students act and think. Therefore, it is a particularly deep and effective

His speech was articulate and precise to his focus of speech, while at the same time holding the audience’s attention with delicately strung words. His speech gave it’s opposition to the idea of “Nullification”, while at the same time embracing the core values of the government by directing the officials to the importance of this new government to the people and not to the states that represent them. As for great orators of today’s time, one cannot say that our first African- American president, Barack Obama, was nothing short of superb when it came to delivering speeches and announcements to the people of the United States. His ability to rally, quell, and connect to his people was awe- inspiring. President Obama had an eloquence, that was neither perceived as arrogant, nor snobbish, but as true leader devoted to the welfare and prosperity of the people of this great nation. This is why President Obama was such a well received president by most, because he stood for the American dream and exemplified the will and drive the people within this nation. Other great orators include names of people who have passed like Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, President Abraham Lincoln and many more great faces that invoked passion in their listeners and lead great movements during their time. As time passes, orators have to face larger challenges in delivering speeches as media and television have changed the dynamics of deliverance of

Throughout my observation of the classroom, I notice the classroom has routine schedule. The students come in take their coat off, go to the bathroom and wash their hands. Next, he students sit down at a table

Audience is an important aspect of public speaking, and it is one that Obama is very good at considering. He has proven that he has the ability to cater to any audience and create a unified atmosphere, through his ability to take on several different personas. He takes on the character of being authoritative, a drive for change, and also a person who has been historically ignored. (Jenkins, K. B., & Cos, G.) He is keenly aware of the demographics of his audience, and takes it upon himself to represent them all, thus making everyone feel spoken for.

I could tell that my audience was getting bored, I think Hannah even fell asleep. I tried to get the audience’s attention by tell a joke, about how my hair was tangled up in the duct tape. Most people chuckled, and I moved on with my next point. I remembered the reading from the book about how to analyzing your audience and then adjust to the audience's non-verbal cues during the speech (Beebe, 122). I should have also told a story about what my nieces and nephews do with duct tape.

As just one example of this young man’s personal speaking strength, consider the opening to his speech. Despite standing before 20,000 while delivering this keynote address, Dalton Sherman still has the presence to wait for applause to die down before beginning [0:30 - 0:39]. Many adults have the tendency to talk over the audience

I was known to be an introverted and quiet person. As I reflected, I questioned if I want to be like this forever. Of course not. In life, there are times where I have to deal with different people. I used to be nervous whenever I have to public speak and present in front of the class. But this all changed in Junior year of high school. In my Psychology class, we had to do a lot of presentations and public speaking. I was nervous in the beginning, but then it gradually goes away after practicing a lot.

The speech I am analyzing was given by Jon Bowers, a UPS driving and delivery trainer, in Atlanta Georgia in July 2017. Bowers was giving a motivational speech on why we should aim for perfection and not fear failure. He was giving this speech to an audience of listeners at a TED convention. The audience appears to be composed of a wide variety of age groups from multiple different backgrounds. The audience likely already had interest in the subject matter as they chose to attend speech knowing what it was about. The audience is rather large and likely contains several hundred people. The target audience is unclear as the topic is so broad that it can apply to basically anyone.

My practicum took place on September 7,2016 from nine thirty to ten thirty. The practicum took place at Impact Early College High School in Baytown. The class I observed was Ms. Nguyen’s class of juniors and seniors that contained twenty students, seven boys and thirteen girls. The class appeared to be alert and ready to learn. Since this was their second period class they already had enough time to shake off their fatigue. The subject was Pre-Calculous and the topic was operations of functions. Students entered the classroom in a calm manner and socialized until it was time to start class. The teacher instructed the students to take their seats and take five minutes to write their assignments into their academic calendar. The teacher went
