Download or read book Funny Short Speeches written by James Taris and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-08-29 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an hilarious collection of short funny speeches and monologues. They were written as manual speeches for Toastmasters, to advance through my speech manuals. They were written over a 7-year period and during this period, I reached the level of ATM Silver. Toastmasters provided the perfect training course for me and I used my newly acquired skills and confidence to launch into an international career as a public speaker and writer. From 2002 to 2004, I travelled to 19 countries on 5 continents, fulfilling speaking engagements and a desire for world travel that I had dreamt of for decades. I realised very early in my Toastmasters club training that the best way to capture and retain an audience's attention was with the use of comedy. So, making my audience laugh became my main focus. These are my most cherished speeches. Making my audience laugh is still the greatest 'high' that I get from speaking.When you say something funny, and your audience laughs, you know that it's a genuine response and you've got through to them!You will find that I use many of my funny speeches to deliver some very important messages to my audience.It's incredibly hard to get an audience's attention when talking about a serious subject, but by using comedy, you capture their attention and they listen more carefully to make sure they don't miss out on your next joke or funny line. That's the perfect time to hit them with something important, something profound. You can then rest assured that your message has been heard loud and clear. Then it's back to more comedy. You can't afford to let them doze off for a minute!Public speaking is quite an art, and I have Toastmasters to thank for teaching me the skills, but more importantly, giving me the confidence to speak in front of an audience. These speeches and monologues are for your entertainment, and if your goal is to build confidence as a public speaker, they are also a testament to the value of Toastmasters as an excellent way to go. Finally, if you have a speech to give, please feel free to use these speeches as a guide.HISTORYAfter a successful career as a sales agent and sales manager, I yearned to become a professional public, so I joined Toastmasters.Two weeks later, I gave my first speech. It was okay, but I needed to learn so much more. Joining Toastmasters was everything I hoped it would be, and more.Over the next 7 years I gave 30 manual speeches and developed my speaking skills to the professional level I sought from the very start.That training gave me the confidence to embark on several international speaking tours that took me to 19 countries, on 5 continents.I also turned one of my speeches, Pericles - Athens' Most Glorious Ruler, into a one-man play, The Glory of Athens, which I performed in 10 countries, including theatre performances in Amsterdam, London and Hollywood.These tours took place from 2002-2004 and I have written about those travel experiences in several books.Most of my enjoyment, however, has come through delivering funny speeches. The spontaneous laughter from the audience is one of the most satisfying experiences I have ever had.Some of these speeches are included in this book, Funny Short Speeches - Examples of 5-10-minute speeches.I hope you enjoy my speeches just as much as my audiences from all over the world.REVIEWSMy! You are a very impressive man with a very impressive vision ... Reading your speeches turned out to be so hilarious I couldn't help myself cracking up every now and then to the surprise (delight or annoyance) of the people around here... I like most of your latest works (speeches), Pericles, The Wandering Knight, Why The Boss Gets Paid More, and the factual, superb and inspirational LIVE FOR THE JOURNEY, (NOT THE DESTINATION)... Dorie (Guam)You certainly have an interesting twist on the story of the three little pigs. I like it ! There are always two sides to any story. Scarlet (USA)

Download or read book Speech Power written by Adelbert Brown and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We habitually live and move as part of a group and participate with others in common matters, and socially, politically or business-wise are required from time to time to make ourselves heard. The better a man makes himself heard, the more he is heeded. The man capable of expressing his ideas clearly commands the attention of Management and the Board of Directors. As one of these gregarians you also are apt at some time to be called upon to tell an audience your name or your line, or to introduce a fellow human at a meeting. With social progress you could eventually become Program Chairman, Toastmaster, preside as President, or even be the person referred to when someone else says, "I'm proud to present and you'll be happy to hear Mr. Narrator, our principal speaker today." Every day of every week from lobster luncheons in Maine to sand dab dinners in San Diego, luncheon groups, dinner forums, supper clubs and countless legions and lodges hold regular meetings. Most of them feature individuals who must know something about the cardinal fundamentals of public speaking. How to present an idea interestingly is the elusive goal of many but the coveted secret of few. Yet it's an ability within the reach of all of us to add wit and sparkle to our talk. Some people are blessed with perfect timing, in tune with every passing phase and sufficiently well adjusted to meet the fluctuations of fate. These fortunate few require no help, but most of us need a prop, a pitch-pipe, a ready reference, and for these this handbook hopes to be helpful. We hope you also will find that this book is factual and thorough without sacrificing readability; find it entertaining while informative, and find that it answers questions which plague anyone who must express himself publicly. The combination of fact and fancy in this work adds up to an inspirational source book for speakers and writers, ad men and gag men, comedians and campaigners. It aims as well to help Governors and governed; Mr. Big and Mr. Little, bosses and the bossed, politicians and the public (in fact, anyone who'll buy the book), and to add spark to any speeches. A final chapter is reserved for "rookie" raconteurs. It embodies a summary of years the author spent in swapping windies with Westerners and tall tales with Texans, and assembling stories from many walks of life and applying humor to human events

Download or read book Speeches of Note written by Shaun Usher and published by Ten Speed Press. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the New York Times bestseller Letters of Note comes a collection of 75 of history's most interesting, profound, and sometimes unknown speeches from a range of scintillating personalities such as Frederick Douglass, Justin Trudeau, Albert Einstein, Meghan Markle, Barbara Jordan, and Ursula K. Le Guin. This thoughtfully curated and richly illustrated collection celebrates oratory old and new, highlighting speeches we know and admire, while also shining a light on profound drafts that were never delivered or have until now been forgotten. From George Bernard Shaw's warm and rousing toast to Albert Einstein in 1930 and the commencement address affectionately given to graduates at Long Island University by Kermit the Frog, to the chilling public announcement (that was thankfully never made) by President Richard Nixon should Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become stranded on the moon, Speeches of Note honors the words and ideas of some of history’s most provocative and inspiring personages.
