This review is from: How to Be an Outstanding Speaker: Eight Secrets to Speaking Success (Paperback)

I first encountered this book at my college's library many years ago. Recently, I became involved with a Toastmasters' club, and I remembered how helpful Dutton's book had been all those years ago, so I bought it for my own collection. My memory had not betrayed me; the book serves as an invaluable tool each time I prepare a speech -- for Toastmasters or for other speaking engagements.

Dutton's "Eight Secrets to Speaking Success" reduce the stress of preparing a speech. Not only do they address the key elements of public speaking, but they also provide formulas designed to enhance your audience's response. By structuring your speeches with these formulas, you will not only get the response you desire, but you will also reduce your own stress in preparing your talk. I recommend it for anyone who needs to prepare oral presentations.
