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?

You stay classy San Diego

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.

Interviewing Experiences

Interviewing and having thorough interviews was not necessarily my focal point when it came to high school, and during my first semester in college. The few interviews i did have, i made them more short, precise and to the point instead of having long and detailed converstations with the interviewee. Now at the time, i didn't find anything wrong making the interview a step by step simplified process in which the interviewee felt relaxed and non threatened by my questions. Yet time and time again i found that body language, and especially direct eye to eye contact; which last for more than 6.7 consecutive seconds would will make or break any interview.

Since coming to State, i've had give or take 2.5 interviews, the .5 would be classified as me beinging and interviewee. Questions, and the form in which questions are presented do have an impact on the interviewee, i can speak from eperience. Having interview my Ethnicity in public space teacher, i found making small talk, or just even making sure you dont sound aggressive or to passive will set the tone for the interview. The confidence an interviewer has when directing and managing a interview should not deferr from the ordinary conversation one has with his or her toothbrush. (weird example, but interviewing starts with the capacity of the interviewer to actually communicate)

Now of course i have no full proof system, and if there were, i'd buy it , but the book does present quite painfully easy systematic approach to making an interview run as smoothly as a well oiled clock.

After reading chapter two on apprehensiveness, i gave it a thinking over.  The way i see 

public speaking seems like a multi aspect event.  I as a speaker don't, i rellie haven't had all too much experience.  Yet from one on one talking, and basic interaction with my peers and other individuals, it seems to me that speaking in general has to be a connection between the orator and the audience.  Now of course with the high rending of technology, a single speaker can communicate with vast audiences.  Yet a connection between the orator and individual listener is in the manner the speaker presents him or herself, it is more than a sermon in which information is translated and ignored.  Chapter two gave me the sense of seeing public speaking as a two way street, the speaker as much as the audience need to be more than open and understanding when it comes to communicating.
