CH 12: Delivering Your Speech

Chapter 12 goes into great detail about what entails a great speech and things you'll need to complete "perfection". In fact, at the beginning of the powerpoint it tells us how practice makes perfect. As much as I know this is used amongst certain individuals to promote practice in harnessing your craft, I often remind my students and young athletes I train that there is no such thing as perfect. And that practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. How you practice is how you'll play....a common saying amongst athletes in sports. 

    Using the two p's will provide stability throughout your speech and give you the confidence you need when delivering your speech. Going into a speech blind is absolutely the last thing you want to do! Speaking from personal experience, I went into a best man's speech going off of the tip of my tongue and spoke for a period of time far too long than what was expected! Whether you memorize or use a manuscript, using the two p's will tremendously help in delivering a speech and ensuring you capture your audiences attention.
