Book Review: This Can Make You a Star
Summary: 4 Stars

10 Days to More Confident Public Speaking is a fascinating book. It has lots of tips that I have found are time-proven and trustworthy. Let me give you a chapter overview, so that you can see if it will fill the bill for you.

Day 1: Getting Started-Overcoming Your Fears

This chapter is mainly about getting past the thing most people face when having to give a speech, fear of speaking. It provides tips that will help overcome that fear such as relaxation techniques, positive self talk, and ways to practice your speaking.

Day 2: Create a Great Presentation

Day 2 discusses the things needed to have a successful presentation and what contents need to be in a speech. Such as creating a outline, being organized, and steps to develop your speech content.

Day 3: Relating to Your Audience

Relating to the audience is a very important part of giving a speech. This chapter focuses on the desires of the audience. Things that will keep them alert and involved.

Day 4: Remembering What You to Say

This chapter is full of tips that will help you remember your speech material. It consist of things such as using notes, using visual aids, and keeping the paragraphs short.


Day 5: Say it With Style- Body Language and Voice

Focuses on how to use your body to relay your message. Including posture and how to gesture properly. It also gives examples of things not to do such as sucking teeth, cracking knuckled, even rattling keys or loose change in your pocket.


Day 6: Language and Ethics

Day 6 explains things that can be used to help your speech overall like alliteration, metaphors and similes, and imagery. It talks about ethics in the form of not committing plagiarism, and using proper attribution.

Day 7: Expect the Unexpected

Regardless of how prepared you are you never know what can happen that might result in you having to alter your speech presentation. This chapter gives tips that would help in the event that something isn't the way it was expected to be.

Day 8: Special Techniques
This chapter provides you with things that can help you present your speech more effectively. Which consist of video taping yourself to critique yourself, positive self talk, and rehearsing to the point where everything is in sync.

Day 9: Behind the Scenes- Building Confidence
This chapter consist of things that the audience may never witness you doing such as, mental preparation, pre-speech checklist, and the speech day checklist.


Day 10: Ending Your Speech with a Bang
This chapter focuses on the things that can be done towards the end of the speech or presentation. Like answering questions and how to handle certain questions.


This book breaks down certain techniques that help in the preparation of a speech or presentation.

It also provides many tips that will be helpful for people who have a fear of public speaking. I feel that this book could help many people. The author gives good examples that would be easy for people to use to practice their speaking.

This book would be of value to any person because at one point in a person's life they will have to give a speech or presentation. With this book it makes it that much easier for that person to prepare so they can do well.
