Many people treat first impressions as the most important thing there is. Even public speaking coaches like to repeat the cliché that 'there is no second chance to make a first impression'. For them, this is a good way to stress students and sound serious. And it cannot be denied that the first image...
An advanced tipa article intended for those who are working on improving their speaking ability by coaching others and giving feedback on their speeches. Those who want the basics are advised to learn speech feedback techniques, and speaker training techniques. In preparation for getting stronger today, I wanted to give you an emphasis...
Lack of preparation for speaking in front of an audience is inviting trouble Speaking in front of an audience is fundamentally different from speaking 1-on-1. The difference is that a normal conversation is a dialogue while public speaking is a monologue. Your audience is listening and examining you, but you have no good way of knowing what…
In the previous post we gave tips for improving the structure of the speech. Now I want to give some tips to improve the arguments themselves. What are actually an argument and a claim? A claim is a statement without backing, therefore it has neither the power of persuasion nor the power of explanation. An argument against this includes the…
In the first lesson of the public speaking course, we put a lot of emphasis on learning the correct structure for a speech. And in the following lessons we put even more emphasis on practicing the same correct structure. Why? Because it works. There is no easier and faster way to improve your speech...
How to develop humor (for the previous part of the article: when to use humor in front of an audience) throughout 10 years of teaching public speaking I have not been able to teach people to be funny, nor have I heard of anyone who succeeded, but there are some tips that can help people who have...
How an argument affects crowd fear On the face of it, a situation of confrontation and debate should exacerbate crowd fear, both on the emotional level and in terms of physiological symptoms, but paradoxically this is not always the case. Moreover, I often see in my courses people...
Beyond the ability to improve the content and style of the speech, a speaker should know how to adapt the content and style to the context in which he is - the audience, the time, and the place. Of these, the most difficult to match is the audience, because the place and time can be quickly determined, while who...
In the previous article, where we learned what rhetorical questions are and how to get the most out of them, it was explained that this is a very powerful tool, and like any powerful tool it can be dangerous. In this article we will understand in more depth the types of photo dangers in rhetorical questions and how to avoid them. In general,…
Who is in favor of eliminating terrorism? - Ariel Sharonarik Sharon repeatedly interrupts Yitzhak Shamir's speech, when he tries to put to a vote the question 'who is in favor of eliminating terrorism'. Since no one can be against the elimination of terrorism, it turns out that people who supported...
Have you noticed that even people who understand nothing about rhetoric, know the concept of 'rhetorical question'? Your answer must have been 'yes', but if you think again for a moment, you will probably notice the fact that you have never actually given any thought to the question of who understands rhetoric and who doesn't. Actually, the answer…
One of the risks in discussion is that someone else will say what you (or you) intended to say. It can happen by coincidence (great minds think alike), or it can happen because someone heard your idea and decided to take credit for it, and sometimes it's also...
When I taught speaking in front of an audience in the diplomats' course of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I explained to them about humor in front of an audience, one of them threw a very nice sentence at me "In a room with 100 people there will always be someone who will be offended". The difference between using humor in front of an audience versus using humor in a forum...
Israeli politicians screw up a lot in their speeches, but the biggest blunder of all was very possibly Prime Minister Levi Eshkol's stuttering in his speech to the nation on the eve of the Six Day War. Eshkol, who was reading from the reporter a speech that was supposed to reassure ultra-Orthodox citizens, came across two words during the speech...
Opening Structure Did you introduce the topic of the speech? Did you show the table of contents? Did you 'sell' the speech to the audience? Body Consistency: Did you say everything you promised you would say? Time management: Is allotment of time appropriate for each topic? Milestones: Did you make sure to inform the audience...
Developing an argument is a necessary condition for persuasion, but not sufficient. It helps to understand why our claim is true, but it does not explain why our claim is important. In other words, for an argument to succeed in convincing, we must show not only that it is true and valid (with the help of logic and with the help of...
Preparing a speech is seen as an artistic act - many imagine the great orator sitting on a couch in his office overlooking the city and writing the sweeping speech in one flow of self-confidence and deep conviction. It is possible that it really works that way for them, I don't know - I have never been a speaker...
Developing arguments helps behavior more persuasive because it explains why we are right and presents the deep reasons and facts behind us. But, developing arguments also affects style, by making us sound more serious and persuasive. This stylistic effect - 'to sound more...
The purpose of the lesson is to learn to benefit from practicing in front of a video camera. The goal is not to 'pass a screen', but to utilize the medium of video recording to improve speech and persuasion skills. The main value of the video shoot is in the improvement of the style (the contribution to the improvement of the content is secondary...
In the lesson on the structure of the speech we learned that the purpose of the conclusion is to 'repackage' the speech for the audience and for the speaker. In fact, the conclusion has another purpose - it should 'create the impression that the audience will leave with, and set the requirements and goals of the speaker and the speech. Why is the summary important? …
In the lesson on the structure of the speech we learned that the purpose of the opening is to organize the speech for the audience and for the speaker. In fact, the speech has another purpose - it has to 'sell' the speech and the speaker to the audience, and make them interested in the speaker's words. Why is the opening important? First impression like…
Feedback is information about the result of an action or experiment and its purpose is to direct the person's perception of his behavior according to the other's reaction. The feedback is a tool with the help of which we can know, at every stage, where we stand and what requires improvement. Participants in feedback: the one who gives the feedback and receives...
Effective feedback can help the speaker improve his speech and speaking ability, but more importantly - giving effective feedback can also help the one giving the feedback to improve himself. Giving feedback is a process that results in sharpening the understanding of the speech and its components, helps in distinguishing...
The public speaking course is very different from any course you took at university or subject you studied in high school. This is because the course does not focus on teaching material but on imparting a skill. In other words, there is no value to an in-depth knowledge of the theoretical material on the following pages - there is...

Examples are a valuable tool for improving the persuasiveness of the speech. They make the argument more tangible and easy to understand. Examples can be used not only to explain to the audience, but also to help yourself better understand the arguments. Thus, examples also help…
Body language is the way humans (and other animals) communicate feelings and intentions. It was created with the aim of allowing animals to send messages to their own kind (for example, 'Here's food', 'I'm interested in sex' or 'Let's run away') and also to other animals (for example, 'If you come near my puppies/children I...
It is customary in the communication corps to talk about the "Kamag Law" as the four dimensions that allow for clear speech, and I think that the same applies to the debate. In each of these dimensions, speed, power and height, it is important to be careful to vary, and avoid extremes. The dimensions are: speed in beginner speakers many times...
What is rhetoric Rhetoric is a combination of art and science, therefore, to be a successful speaker you need a combination of talent and investment. It's not easy, but it's possible, and with the right guidance it's also much simpler than most people think. To succeed in rhetoric studies...
