Do you already feel comfortable and have experience in public speaking but still for a challenge? This course is aimed at people that have taken our Public Speaking Fundamentals course, or that have sufficient public speaking experience and feel comfortable speaking and improvising in front of the audience.
This 6-week course will take your skills to the next level: we will further explore the art of rhetoric and advanced techniques you can use to craft a memorable speech.
You'll meet your instructor, classmates, and explore 5 cannons of rhetoric, that will guide us throughout the coming weeks.
We will explore the delivery canon of rhetoric, focusing on non-verbal aspects of rhetoric. We will practice speaking using theatrical masks and do a detailed video analysis of your speech.
A memorable speech has a clear structure. This creative session is all about coming up with arguments, ideas and stories for your speech, and arrange them into adequate sequence and structure.
Once you have your speech idea and structure ready, it’s time to start writing. We will explore tools of effective speech writing and figures of speech to make your speech stand out and be impactful.
Once you’ve written a speech it’s time to memorise it, as you don’t want to be reading. We will explore techniques of speech memorisation as well as practice your final speech.
It will be time to prepare and face one last challenge: time to present a 10min speech at our EURx Talks event.
The ability to speak in front of people and deliver a clear message is a crucial skill for a successful career, whether academic or otherwise.
The exercises we were not just well structured and effective, but fun. Wait till you get to do a power-point karaoke or record your speech in front of a teleprompter like a professional TV host and you’ll get what I mean. I used to like public speaking before the course, but now I love it.
