And Then Some News

Thursday’s essay, “Impromptu Speaking Without the Fear and Panic” is a response to a reader’s concern regarding the stage fright he experiences when facing an impromptu situation. It is written to not only show that much of the fear and panic can be relieved if speakers put the “preparation problem” into the proper perspective.. It is true that there is always some fear and panic associated with public speaking in general, and there are specific, well-accepted, ways to deal with it. Those are discussed in the book mentioned above, /Public Speaking Rules!/ Thursday’s essay focuses specifically on impromptu speaking while the book examines public speaking in general.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview
Impromptu Speaking Without the Fear and Panic
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
To begin, it’s important to understand that seldom are you asked to give an impromptu speech for which you have no background knowledge and experience. In many cases, the invitation to give such a speech occurs because of a person’s special expertise in a given area. In this way, a person can use that “special” expertise to enlarge, enumerate, and expand on a topic. For the most part, and for most people, this is an opportunity just ripe for the picking. When in a strange or new town, just ask a local resident to tell you what to see, where to eat, or how to get to a special location, and you will quickly be an audience of one for a unique impromptu experience!
