The main menu consists of a min or two on faking confidence in communication apprehension, using supporting materials, organizing your presentation (comparisons, persuading the audience including Monroe's), delivering the speech, style of speech (clarity, rhythm, parallel wording) & the delivery, the moment of truth closing (body apearance, language, eye contact, vocal varation.)
I did learn a few things since I did not take public speaking in high school nor in college. It was very easy to follow with included exadurated almost silly presentation examples to every point they taught, but never allowing it to be too moronic.
I rented this at my library, be sure to check yours.

This was a great video for helping novices with making presentations. It was presented in a very light format but contained valuable information. It was most helpful and held my attention throughout the video. Well done!

This DVD is excellent for preparing for a Dantes public speaking review. I used this DVD and passed my Dantes public speaking test. Highly recommended!!!

This is a very balanced program on public speaking. It cover almost all the basics you would need to make a speech . From writing and organizing the content for a speech right down to the mechanics of delivery.It is an excellent resource for beginners as well as experienced speakers to really lock down the basics of public speaking. Although the cover and the standards deviants style can be quite corny , they do quite well for themselves on this instructional dvd.And at such a low price , its almost a sin for someone interested in public speaking not to buy this dvd.

Everyone is terrified to speak in public.

Most public speaking educational or training materials are formal and boring.

This video make learning to speak in public both fun and interesting.

I would recommend this video for almost all age groups.

All of the Standard Deviant stuff is good but is very fast-paced so it is not introductory material but review. The video is packed with great information but you almost have to stop it ever few minutes to take notes because you are so overwhelmed by all they present. I'd rather do that than not have any meaningful content though.
