SPEECH DEVELOPMENT TOO OFTEN DISCOUNTED

I often listen to the radio or watch on television as key, prominent, important people speak on and about their areas of expertise.

So many, yes SO many of them are very poor presenters regarding their qualities of speech, diction and (on television) gesture.

The ‘matter’ factor of their offering is acceptable.  They know their subjects. 

But it is their manner and method of delivery that let them down.

Leaving lasting impressions of mediocre delivery, I am sure, is not what the speakers want. But unfortunately, that’s the way it often goes.

And all for the want of a bit of fixing!
