From the Gutenberg Press to YouTube, technology has rendered the old-fashioned speech more meaningful than it has ever been, argues David Murray, founder and executive director of the Professional Speechwriters Association. Speeches - before a Parliament, supporters, members of staff, etc. - have a unique ability to connect audiences, not just to the speaker on the stage, but to one another - intellectually, emotionally, even spiritually. Through a series of historic and contemporary speech experts, Murray will demonstrate the power of the modern speech and show by example, how to make a speech that transforms an audience into a coherent community.
