Question

Help please...


So, I have to introduce a speaker for speech class this Monday, but he hasn't answered any of my emails about what will be interesting about his speech, what his credentials are, or what the title is. We are getting graded on our intros; I don't know what to do... help!

Answer 1

Do you know his full name? If you google him you might be able to see some info about his career/speech topic.

Answer 2

yeah, i know his name and the topic of his speech. its kind of a minor thing, so i don't think the internet will be much help...

Answer 3

Well have you emailed your speech teacher? S/he might have some information.

Answer 4

i just did. she hasn't answered yet

Answer 5

What's the topic?

Answer 6

slacklining

Answer 7

its an expository speech

Answer 8

Maybe you could use what you know from the internet and write a vague background about the sport, and keep that as backup for if you don't hear back from your teacher.

Answer 9

yeah... we r supposed to state their name, topic, interest (why the audience should listen), title, and name again

Answer 10

You know their name and the topic, so just use a plausible interest and get on with it.

Answer 11

yeah, i guess i can just ask the title tomorrow... thanks

Answer 12

Answer 13
