The worst speaker I ever heard was our past president. I just feel like he was reading what was written for him. He tried to be funny but fails miserably and often messes up his jokes. Also, i feel that he just relied on his writers to make his speech.

Week 5- Question 1
The speaker that is most memorable to me is this guy named Alex. He is one of the most eloquent, charismatic and uses humor to get our attention. Although humor is always said to not be used in a speech, he is very carefully yet natural. He was talking about something for my communications class and the topic was so boring, but he made it really exciting. He used great gestures and had great tone. He kept everyone on their toes because we did not know what he was going to say.

Hello Therza! Do you think the opinion about the way Bush spoke has any correlation to his approval rating or whether or not people agree with him? Can there be a separation of the speaker, speaking style and message? Or all they all one in the same?
ReplyDeleteGood point about the professor had about the approval rating and perception of Bush. Yet I would also have to agree that as his popularity became less and less, people did not want to listen to what he had to say anymore, especially towards his last couple years in office.
ReplyDeleteFor me I would say yes and no. His approval rating was obviously not very good but I still took the time to listen to what he had to say. I was really just referring to the reasons why I didn't like him as a speaker. For separation of the speaking, style, and message; its better to be great in all parts. But I feel like you have to be good at at least one for people to listen to you. For example, if your message was really good but didn't really speak very well and didn't have style then I guess its ok for the audience. As long as they got the gist of what the message was.
