Characteristics of a Motivational Speaker

Any speech can be motivational but a motivational speech is designed specifically to motivate an audience. When preparing to write a motivational speech, one should consider the following characteristics. Also, I recommend watching a short video of one of the great motivational speakers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CiofRGSNAg&feature=youtube_gdata_player Characteristics of a motivational speech   - Deliberately designed to motivate   - The goal to increase the desire and intention to do particular things, achieve certain goals, take on specific attitudes, begin desires processes and procedures   - Taps into or uncovers the audience's dreams and motivations   - Makes the speaker vulnerable by sharing his/her hopes and dreams

Welcome

Hello, I invite you to join this blog and share your thoughts, experiences, and fears about public speaking in the form of comments, questions, advice, etc. I teach a public speaking class at a community college and have enjoyed meeting and hearing the speeches of my students throughout the years. So many people lack the confidence or the skills to speak comfortably in front of others. I believe that when people share their concerns, experiences, and suggestions for improvement, they learn to overcome their fears and tools to become better speakers. Even those who are good public speakers can find ways to improve. I look forward to everyone's contributions to our blog discussions.
