Do you remember the topic of the last speech you heard? If not, you're not alone. In fact, studies show that audiences remember only 10% to 30% of speech or presentation content. Given those bleak statistics, why do we give speeches at all? We give them, says communications expert Nick Morgan, because they remain the most powerful way of connecting with audiences since ancient Greek times. But as we've evolved to a more conversational mode of public speaking, thanks to television, we have forgotten much of what the Greeks taught us about the nonverbal aspects of speech-giving: the physical connection with audiences that can create an almost palpable emotional bond. Morgan says this "kinesthetic connection" comes from truly listening to your audience—not just with your brain but with your body. In this book, he draws from more than 20 years as a speech coach and consultant, combining the best of ancient Greek oratory with modern communications research to offer a new, audience-centered approach to public speaking. Through entertaining and insightful examples, Morgan illustrates a 3 part process—focusing on content development, rehearsal, and delivery—that will enable readers of all experience levels to give more effective, passion-filled speeches that move audiences to action.

In one of his last published papers, Te Rangi Hiroa (Sir Peter Buck), the only Polynesian director of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, asked what happened to Hawaiian oratory and speech making. Oratory is renowned throughout the Pacific, especially in Polynesia. But who were, and are, the great Hawaiian orators? What are the most memorable of the traditional speeches, and why are they remembered and recited today? Malcolm Naea Chun takes up this Maori challenge, describing the historical roots of Hawaiian oratory, and its eventual decline. He adds to this his personal experience as a speech writer and as a speech maker to kings and queens, indigenous tribunals, conferences, and gatherings to recreate a formidable picture of Hawaiian oratory, finishing with a discussion of what can be done today to revive this forgotten art form. This book is one of eleven short volumes of the Ka Wana series, which is part of the Pihana Na Mamo Native Hawaiian Education Program.

Communication is an essential aspect of human life, and the ability to communicate effectively is a valuable skill that can have a profound impact on our personal and professional lives. The art of speech, in particular, is a complex and multifaceted skill that requires not only a mastery of language but also an understanding of psychology, sociology, and human behavior. At its core, the art of speech is about the ability to convey information, ideas, and emotions in a clear and compelling way. Whether we are giving a presentation to colleagues, engaging in a debate with friends, or having a conversation with a loved one, our ability to communicate effectively can determine the success of our interactions. The art of speech involves a wide range of skills, from crafting a compelling message and using language effectively to using body language, tone of voice, and other nonverbal cues to convey meaning. Effective communication also requires an understanding of the audience and the ability to tailor our message to their needs and interests. Furthermore, the art of speech is not just about conveying information but also about inspiring and motivating our audience to take action. Whether we are trying to persuade someone to see our point of view or encouraging them to take a specific course of action, understanding the principles of motivation and persuasion is a crucial component of effective communication. Ultimately, the art of speech is about more than just words - it is about connecting with others on a deeper level, building trust and rapport, and using our voices to make a positive impact on the world around us.
