AUDIO VISUAL SUMMARY

In this unit you will be required to give an audio visual speech. An audio visual speech is a speech which is given using an aid other than printed material such as a video or sound clip to present information in audible or pictorial form to an audience. A typical audio visual speech usually last anywhere from 3-60 minutes depending on the context and setting in which the information is being given. For the purposes of our class you will be required to give an audio visual speech that lasts from 3-5 minutes. You can use anything such as home video, a recording, or a video from an online sight, just as long as you use something besides printed material and text.

Public Speaking

Audio visual speeches are especially effective when introducing an uninformed audience to new or breakthrough information.

Protect Yourself

When giving a speech or presentation of any kind to an audience or group or people you must be aware of the affects that your message can have on different people. Your message can and will be interpreted in many different ways whether you meant it to be taken that way or not. You must use a disclaimer to protect your name and help your audience understand the context of your message.

Always keep these in mind when giving a presentation or speech:

• Disclaimer - A statement that asks the listener to receive what the speaker says as intended and not to interpret it as reflecting negatively on the image of the speaker.

• Demographic - A single vital or social statistic of a human population as it relates to a certain area or community.

• Irreversibility - The idea that once a message is given or conveyed it cannot be taken back.
