That part was belief.<br /><br />The two parts of the coverage of Ann that had most impact for me were the (slightly) less scripted parts. The first was when she was describing to the speechwriter what she wanted to talk about, and the second was when, at the end of her speech and running out of time, she spoke passionately about a seat that the SDP had won whilst fielding a local taxi driver as their candidate.<br /><br />None of my comments should undermine the importance and benefit of rhetorical structure. However, having both a sound structure and passion or belief behind what you are saying seems to me to be the real holy grail of public speaking. At the risk (I hope) of causing controversy and disagreement, if I was going to plump for one or the other, I'd go passion and belief over rhetorical structure every time.simonroskrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887752296064804878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553440626649035970.post-4069988372384468172010-02-02T11:37:14.593+00:002010-02-02T11:37:14.593+00:00yes watch the video.
