Summary
Most books about public speaking don’t tell you what to do when you open your mouth and nothing comes out. And they don’t tell you how to get over the anxiety about performance that most people naturally have. They don’t tell you what to do in the moments when you are made, as a woman, to feel small. They don’t tell you how to own the room. This book does.
From the way Michelle Obama projects ‘happy high status’ and the power of J.K.Rowling’s understated speaking style to Virginia Woolf’s leisurely pacing and Oprah Winfrey’s mastery of inner conviction, what is it that our heroines do to make us sit up and listen - really listen - to their every word? And how can you achieve that impact in your own life? Here’s how.

An Excellent Speech Primer.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this Audible book which offers great advice for novice and experienced speakers, It certainly does not. ‘Pull Any Punches’!

Surprised me in many ways and I couldn’t stop listening
This is a subject that really interests me and so I was eager to listen. I loved her voice and accent from the beginning, but the more I listened the more I learned, it’s packed with useful and interesting information. I also loved looking up and watching all the speeches she mentioned, some even made me emotional. What surprised me was when she talked about how drumming is related to speech, my jaw dropped while driving, I absolutely love percussion and drumming (I’m not a musician) and I’m also very at ease when I need to speak in front of people, but not at all in other situations. I will definitely enjoy listening to this audio book one more time.

Just fantastic!
This book is not just about the Art of Brilliant speaking but about performance and thinking... getting yourself if the 'right' frame of mind etc. Viv brilliantly breaks down all aspects making her advice and experience clear, logical and practical. There are so many bite size take homes one of my top ones is around appreciating that if you have been asked to 'perform/talk' etc. its because the person asking you thinks you are up for the job.....
Thank you Viv... most excellent!
