I think that in today's world, communication has changed its features. Virtual communication enables everyone around the world to communicate anytime and anywhere. So when a speaker is giving his or her speech they should be aware that everyone will see, hear, and read every world that they are saying. So virtual communication has the same effect as natural communication. A speaker’s style can have an extremely important impact on the effectiveness of his or her speech. A speaker needs to be aware of both his verbal and nonverbal delivery skills. Nonverbal skills are skills that people can see but cannot hear. A person’s physical appearance can oftentimes make as much of an impact as the actual words that one is speaking. Listeners use nonverbal delivery skills to make assumptions about a speaker’s sincerity, caring, and trustworthiness. Eye contact, facial expressions, posture and one’s manner of dress are all examples of nonverbal delivery skills that a speaker should be aware of. Knowing how to correctly use nonverbal skills can help a speaker become more confident in both their own eyes, and in the eyes of their audiences members. A speaker who is confident has a greater chance of delivering an effective speech than a speaker who is not confident. An effective speaker makes use of his or her audience, feeding off of its emotions and reactions. In turn, both the speaker and the listeners can become motivated and inspired by the transfer of emotions that can take place during a speech. Effective speakers are people that have learned to read others, they have figured out what an audience wants to hear, and they are prepared to give the audience what they want.
