With today's information overload, the average audience member is inundated with thousands of advertising messages, emails, and calls every day; audiences form opinions about speakers within 30 seconds or less. Students learn how to get and retain listeners' attention, build credibility, liven up dry topics, explain complex concepts, utilize nonverbal communication, overcome stage fright, leave a positive impression, and persuade and inform audiences. Students prepare for and deliver videotaped presentations, receive coaching and feedback.
