The Natural Speaker 8th Edition

Good book, it is an easy read with practical content, not a whole lot of theories and concepts. The author takes the idea of public speaking and breaks down all of the parts. From concept, to idea and research, writing the speech, practice, styles and delivery. Even goes over stage freight and how to work through it.Most of all I like how the book flows. I am not much of a reader and to be honest, I had to purchase for a class in school. Fact is, after reading the first chapter, I found myself continuing to read the rest of it.

I have just finished first chapter, and I have already like it. This is a great book to improve communication skills. This is one of me University's text book that offered. I wish I had bought this book not rent it.

It is a helpful book for me to work on my communication skills. It is easily understandable and the author talks to you in a way that it is like he is speaking the words.

Concise. Randy draws parallels to everyday communications and the importance of considering the principles and elements of communication. He covers all you would need to know to improve communication in settings that go beyond the podium.

It'd be nice if there were page numbers instead of location. Otherwise, it's a pretty easy textbook to use.

Book for school came in great quality, no flaws!
