Exercise 1: Hear Speeches from the History Channel Archives

You can hear how some famous people delivered their speeches by visiting www.historychannel.com/speeches/index.html. Notice how these speakers' vocal qualities improve or detract from their delivery.

Exercise 2: Government Hearings

Watch speeches live or archived on www.cspan.org, the site that shows government in action. You can also watch participants in government hearings on www.capitolhearings.org. These sources allow you to observe how people outside the classroom deliver their words for public consumption.
