DISCUSSION: Managing Speech Anxiety and Adapting to your Audience

After you have read Chapters 2 and 5, engage in a discussion with your classmates on the following points:

·         Some people are anxious about public speaking because of previous experiences. Talk about your previous experience and what you liked or did not like about them.

·         Discuss some of the positive coping statements for before, during and after you give a speech. Your text lists some of them... do you have others to suggest?

·         Find an advertisement, print or video, that you think is ineffective. Upload or describe it here and identify what parts of it are ineffective. Do you believe you are the "target" of the advertisement? If not, who do you believe is the target? Shifting your perspective, would you give the advertisement a higher rating? Why? How does being able to identify your audience make you a more effective communicator?
