Avid Readers Are The Best Public Speakers

Avid readers really are the best public speakers and they are, also, the best writers. The great speakers and writers are always avid readers, and they read a wide variety of authors and topics.

Readers learn how to "turn a phrase." That is, they learn to say an ordinary thing in an interesting way that will get and hold an audience's attention. The reason that avid readers are better at this technique is that they are exposed constantly to a variety of the best authors who know just how to do that very thing. I am not implying that readers are practicing plagiarism; they wouldn't do that. But they do know that how something is said is just as important, and maybe more important, than what is being said.

Readers learn how to "be descriptive." If a person is an avid reader, they know that the ability to transport a reader to another place or another time by using words is one of the great gifts of great writers. It is also one of the great gifts of great public speakers. The great ones can describe a situation so effectively that the audience can "see it, feel it, and almost taste it"! Leaning how to use a thesaurus isn't the same thing as learning to "be descriptive."

Readers are usually better "informed" than nonreaders, too. Most people listen to the evening news, and that is where they learn everything they know about world affairs. The evening news is great, but it just supplies the headlines and five-second sound bytes. The details that supply real information and real understanding of a story are in print, not on TV.

The point here is that if you want to become an effective public speaker, you first need to become an avid reader!
