Filled with engaging anecdotes, cartoons, and examples, Speak with Confidence is a practical and approachable public speaking text that not only engages readers in the material but also teaches them important speech lessons. Using a down-to-earth, conversational style, this book contributes to building readers' speechmaking confidence and offers readers all of the necessary skills for communicating effectively in the 21st century.
I'm reading this one for a speech class. My copy is the 10th. edition. It is a little lighter reading than one expects from most textbooks which is refreshing.
