Editorial Reviews

Making the Speech is a breakthrough in educational programming, with a storyline that is as entertaining as it is informative. Presented in a hip, "reality TV" inspired style, students will enjoy watching Stanley learn, as they themselves learn, the art of public speaking.

This excellently produced DVD is also packed full of special features! The DVD contains printable teacher’s guides, student notes, quizzes, and transcripts of famous speeches from some of the most powerful speakers in history. Students can print out and study speeches by Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela and many more. Also included in the bonus features is Doug’s Drills, a valuable collection of nine quick lessons on specific speech topics such as addressing unhappy audiences, delivering the perfect closer, what to wear, and more!

Making the Speech was a 2006 Telly Award Finalist and a Parents' Choice Approved Winner

This review is from: Making the Speech: Conquer your Fear of Public Speaking (DVD)

My high school kids could have made a better video. This is an embarrassing waste of time...totally slow, amateur, no solid/new information. What a waste of my tiny stipend of school money for outside materials!

This review is from: Making the Speech: Conquer your Fear of Public Speaking (DVD)

It's OK if you have no idea about public speaking. Good points mentioned in the video, but the acting and all together the video is not done well. It's a good example of bad instructional material.
