After giving a good answer, other basic aspects like how to edit and practice a speech, how to sound confident etc. are discussed. A brief overview of Aristotle and his contribution to rhetoric then follows. How to plan a speech is examined, along with techniques to add credibility, with content and humor as a must. Adding videos to a speech, handling questions effectively, the importance of body posture and movements, especially the ones to be avoided, and the use of eye contact are some of the other significant areas included in this book.
