Hi for Rolling Eyes all

Please, read this article (written by S.Wyeth) and let me see your comments.

Five Ways to Speak Like Obama
by Sims Wyeth

Tags: Body Language, Attention, Audience, Obama, Calmness..., Barack Obama, Public Speaking, Leadership, Presentations, Speech Writing, Speech Giving, Sims Wyeth

Now that we’ve got your attention, you should realize, of course, that you don’t want to speak like Barack Obama. You want to speak like you. Nevertheless, as a student of the art of public speaking, you can — and should — observe Obama’s oratorical skills. The greats all learn from other greats, so don’t hesitate. Study Obama’s repertoire, take what you like, and use what you can to improve your own public speaking.

Obama is a master at grabbing and keeping his audience’s attention, which is the number one goal of any public speaker. How does he do it? Here are five key lessons from Obama’s rhetorical playbook.

Obama can't string 3 words together without his teleprompter. Listen to him talk when he has to extemporize. He speaks in 2-3 word bursts. Sort of like listening to Morse code.

He's not a master of rhetoric, just a good reader (of other people's words).

There is one thing I noticed about politicians. One who yells on top of his lungs to make a point but ended up not making a point, and one who speaks calmly and actually does make a point without being in the danger of coughing to death.
