Balancing skills and theory, this introductory public speaking
textbook encourages the reader to see public speaking as a way to
build community in today's diverse world. Within a framework that
emphasizes speaker responsibility, listening, and cultural
awareness, this classic book uses examples from college, workplace,
political, and social communication to make the study of public
speaking relevant, contemporary, and exciting. This new edition
includes expanded coverage of mediated speaking with examples from
podcasts and online speaking contexts; discussion of ethical issues
of contemporary public discourse, including disinformation and
public civility; and tips for extemporaneous speaking. This
textbook is ideal for general courses on public speaking as well as
specialized programs in business, management, political
communication, and public affairs. A companion website including an
instructor's manual containing discussion questions, exercises,
quiz questions, and suggestions for syllabus design is available at

Leading Your Audience: A Systematic Approach to Public Speaking is
designed to prepare students to lead as public speakers in the
classroom and beyond. The text increases readers' understanding of
the principles and processes of communicating effectively in public
situations. As students participate in the process, they become
proficient in basic speaking skills, while increasing their
confidence successfully in a variety of contexts. Over the course
of 11 chapters, students are presented with material compiled in a
strategic order to maximize time and learning during the academic
term. They learn incrementally while they practice, build
proficiency, and complete speech assignments in each chapter.
Written in a conversational tone to reduce stress, students
navigate through simplified formulas and lists that contain clear
and concise content that is cross-referenced throughout the text.
The third edition features more timely and detailed examples,
practical explanations, and fresh sources. Material on evaluating
types of sources for reliability, detecting misinformation and
disinformation, the impacts of technology, understanding audience
diversity, digital audience considerations, group collaboration,
and more has been expanded or added. Extensively class tested,
Leading Your Audience is an ideal textbook for foundational or
advanced courses in public speaking both in person and online.
