The Elephant in the Living Room: Public Speaking Anxiety
75% of the adult population experiences PSA . . . and that’s a GOOD thing! Key: Managing anxiety effectively
Visualization Relaxation Systematic Desensitization Cognitive Restructuring Communication (NOT performance) orientation
One minute essay:• Think of a time when you saw/heard a really
engaging speaker. Describe the specific reasons you thought it was so good.
Components of an effective (audience-centered) speech
• Content• Structure• Delivery• Presentational Aids
Audience-Centered CONTENT• Ultimately, its not
about me (the speaker)
• “The audience is the end and object of the speech” (Aristotle)
• Exigence: the reason a speech NEEDS to be given (Bitzer, 1968)
Content• Analysis:
– Appropriate focus/purpose?
– Supporting points (appropriate, thematic, rhetorical appeals, breadth, depth, and listener relevance)?
– Reasoning (Claim/Support/Warrant)?
– Time constraint?
• Supporting Material:– Relevant? – Varied? – Credible? – Clear? – Distributed
throughout– Properly Credited (on
outline & in speech)– Number?
structure• Macrostructure:
– Attention Catcher – Listener Relevance– Speaker Credibility – Thesis statement & M Pt Preview Transitions – Thesis restatement & M Pt Summary
Clincher (creative)• Microstructure:
– Language (appropriate, clear, accurate, vivid)?
– Style (rhetorical figures/structures, novelty, connectives)?
– Technical jargon/Slang – Vocalized pauses (verbal garbage-- "uh,"
"um," "like," "ya' know”)
• Tell them what you’re going to tell them (INTRODUCTION)
• Tell them (BODY)– Thematic, recognizable main point
pattern (chronological, spatial, causal, problem-solution, etc.)
• Tell them what you told them (CONCLUSION)
Drafting Outlines• Iterative Ongoing Process of
Developing Content & Structure
• Rough Outlines & Peer Reviews• Formal Outline
– Complete Sentences– Listener Relevance Links– Presentational Aid Markers– Internal References and
Reference List– APA(or other) Style
• Speaking Outline/Notes

Presentational aids• Construction of Visuals
– Large, neat, colorful, clear, simple, etc.
– Symbol system• Other Aids (audio,
audiovisual, sensory, etc.)• Peer Review• Integration
– Concealed/Revealed– Referenced– Smoothly demonstrated
Delivery• Use of Voice
– Intelligibility (rate, volume, pitch, quality, enunciation, pronunciation)
– Conversational style– Emotional expression (convincing,
committed, compelling)
• Use of Body – Attire– Poise (no distracting cues)– Eye contact– Facial expressions– Gestures– Motivated movement– Initial & Terminal Ethos?
• Modalities/Audience• Rehearsals/Peer Review
Writing a Speech prompt• Purpose & Description• Rationale• Grading Criteria• Examples (formal outline, speaking
outline, recorded speech)• Grading Forms (Instructor Critique Form,
Classmate Critique Form, Self-Critique Form)
GradingHolistic and Criterion-based
Consider Criteria and Individual Growth
