Public Speaking

Join ‘The Virtuous Women’, Dr. Taffy Wagner and Ms. Bettye Jamerson, co-hosts of the Literary Corner podcast, this Monday, November 13, 2006 to learn about the importance of communicating effectively to an audience as a speaker.

Non-fiction authors need to think of themselves beyond the scope of just being a writer. “When you write that first book you need to think in terms of being an expert that will teach workshops and seminars, and make speeches. You are a speaker as well as an author,” comments Dr. Taffy Wagner.

There are many things to keep in mind when making a speech or presentation. One’s facial expressions and voice tone need to complement and work in concert to present unity between the speaker and their message. “You need to be very aware of the non-verbal messages and signals that you are sending while you speak,” comments Ms. Jamerson, “it is a good idea to practice speaking in front of a mirror or even video tape yourself speaking so you can see how you come across to an audience.”
