After going over ch 7 & 8 i found i re-occurring concept, the balancing of main points is crucial for any speech to get any type of liftoff from a outline phase. By balancing one means equally displaying and supporting his or her speech, having strong supporting details with supportive arguements sets up a balanced speech with little and few, "whatevers" and "likes" with tend to give the audience the sense of the speaker having little or no knowledge about the subject
Having a balanced form of informing your audience with give you a more logical approach to actually winning over your audience, becuause of course a well organized balance approach will in the end set forth a tone by which your audience can appreciate your speech is a gateway to a high performance speech. "balanced" means having a sustainable and reliable approach to giving a speech. Practice as well as having well rounded speeches will in the end give you as an individual a positive or negative grade in any speech class.

Chapter 6 concepts
In chapter 6 i found two great concepts, now they might not interlock like peanut butter and peach spread, but they sure make a; Robbin and Batman duo. Validity and Reliability, now the way I'm looking at these concepts is and in general broad sense, from Internet sources to that dusty old book published in 1949 you found under the librarian's desk, under her pile of teen Vogue. Now flat out thinking things through would all ways be for most in all and any action or activity any individual takes place. You might be walking down the street eating a cherry lolly pop in one hand and be practicing setting up a date on your ultra sleek hand held device, some now a days take a head first approach to many things, yet public speaking shouldn't be a wild worse shoot and ride fling, that is why it is of utter important for one to validate one's sources.
Now i sure ain't no private eye, who can see why kids love Cinnamon toast crunch, but if one plus one doesn't add up to two then more often than not any individual will pick up on a problem. Solutions, and the ideas set forth in books, informational magazines, and or newspapers must of course have a reliable source, yet by which any literacy work should be judge is by the content of its text. As we judge one another by the content of our minds, we at least we like to believe so but that's not the point here.
Plain and simple, if any author had a questionable bias opinion, if the conclusions he or she sets forth dint add up with the information presented, or heck if there isn't any information at all
do please take a quarter step back and think about the viability of this resource. Because i now the feeling of getting home at 4:17 am and hitting old reliable google for information on a paper, or speech, etc.. and choosing the first link that pops up and taking it as information so reliable the pentagon would take it.
hey we're all human, a wiggle and dust of one's mind will make for a better speech, just don't get shot of die up at the podium now
You stay classy San Diego.

Ch. 5 Reading,
After going over chapter 5, it struck me, not all of us have the luxury of knowing our audience first hand by which we can conduct demographic information. Diverse audiences, how values change in different ethnic groups, but honestly if i knew the values of the audience i was talking about, now i mean individual values; I would jump on that kind of information like a mouse on cheese. Now what most of us non politicians, activists, professors, environmentalist and non CEO's , we have to make decisions THERE and THEN.
As a speaker we don't exactly have a target audience were particularly trying to sell our speech to, our audience is in play as a whole if you will. If you don't have psycho graphic information nice and ready three hours prior to your speech, you have to be a practical and smart. As a "big headed" species, your brain is there a reason, so you might as well use it more often than not.
If you walk in to a room full of men 65 and older, don't go off talking about how the "old people" are putting a strain in U.S. spending. Analyze and think, a walk to you podium should be more than you hearing your heart beat; take a look around at the people your addressing your speech to. If people are smiling, work with it, you may not be the greatest joker or best orator, but you have to work off your audience, don't fight your audience if you will.
Eye contact and making an audience feel Incorporated into the speech should be a priority, because as we all read ch. 5, and i quote here, "Speakers succeed only to the degree they effectively connect with their audience."
Most importantly, the definition of audience used is what wraps up what every speaker must understand and come to use as a advantage when conducting and leading his or her speech. "Audience originally referred to a group of people who share a common interest and physically gather together."
Seriously, if your up at the podium, boring your self, scared to your shins trying to just get off,
your more often than not boring your audience to death. Think about it, you rather not be in a speech were the speaker sets and presents a weak body language, where your eying the exits every 7.9 seconds, so why put others through it?

speech buddy videos.
After watching the videos, and taking a three minute break to think, the most important step i learned in the management process of making any speech is taking full advantage of your local library. From internet, to archieved magazine and newspapers, the library is a vast building of information, especially if one is reshearching more than just internet articles and information.
The speaker of the video sets it out pretty good, basiacally saying, "if you need information, that doesn't involved the internet, hit up your library." Now word for word, the speaker doenst say it just like that, but its the point that came across to me. The vast collections of books, newspapers and maganizes, makes the library the place I'm going to be when it comes to reasherching for my speeches.

ch 6 concepts....with one more s
After going over ch 6, and reading through it while walking back and forth in my room, i started to get a feeling of "pickle peppers I've been going about this all wrong." I always thought having great talking skills would set you on to have a great interview, but as with any military operation its the set up, build up and research before hand that counts for more than scoring points with an interviewee. Now I'm not one to exactly plan my every move out, like in a good game of shoots and ladders, but i am more than committed to anything and everything i do.
The way ch. 6 discusses ways of researching and actually gives a thorough listing of plausible search engines, other from google an yahoo, i rellie didn't know other search engines when it came to doing my research online, there are some great sites listed, I already began looking over two, no joke its a whole different experience looking for information and actually getting academically correct viable information; because between me and you going to wikipedia was so 6th grade.
