Delivery Again
The concept that I think that we should spend more time on in this class is delivery. As I wrote in the post prior to this one I believe that Delivery is a very important concept. I think we need to learn more about this concept in all communication courses. I see it every semester in all of my classes that require any type of class discussion or presentation. A person writes a good speech or does a great job on a powerpoint, but can not deliver when it comes time to present it. This does not happen so much in communication courses, but it does happen quite often in my business classes. Some people can do a great job on a project, but when it comes time to tell people what they did they stumble over words. THey spend so much time doing research and failed to take any time to practive there delivery. On the other side of the spectrum, there have been times where I have not been fully prepared to give a speech or presentation. But with a great delivery of a descent project I have been able to turn a C project into a quick B+. I think about all of the great speakers that we are taught about, and I think about the words that they said. Then I think was it the words that they were speaking or the way that they said them. I came to the conclusion that it is both, but if it was not for them being able to use good delivery we would not being talking about them.

Yes delivery is very important in expressing a message. If one is boring then you will lose the audience's attention and the message will not be received. Delivery is best perfected through practice. I love to give public speeches and this is a rare oddity. In high school i took a drama class that emphasized in improvisation. I have found that many times during a speech I loose track of what I am saying and have to come up with another route to take verbally. The practice I have had in improv has helped shape the way I give public speeches.
