Day 1 of GOP convention

Best speaker:  Fred Thompson.   Worst speaker:  Bill Gross

If you have any uncommitted time, google “Fred Thompson’s GOP Convention Speech” and watch it.  He is a master, as you might expect from this senator-turned-actor-turned-presidential-candidate-turned-supporting-politician.  He gets an A ++.

Here are generic valtrex overnight the positives you need to think about in your speeches before large crowds.  And some of these pointers might surprise you.

1.    He used “but,” “uh,” and “and” throughout his speech.  While there are generic valtrex overnight speech coaches worldwide who will tell you to eliminate those words from generic valtrex overnight your speech persona (and I do, too, if they’re an annoying habit) … his speech sounded so conversational with these 3 tiny words included.   Reason: There are generic valtrex overnight very few people who never use these words in every day conversation.

Surprised?  These little touches show humanity.  I’d guess that the But’s & And’s were added to the text of his speech.  HINT:  Very easy to add “but,” “and,” “well,” “so,” & “therefore” to your speech text at the beginning of sentences.

The Uh’s were probably a part of his own “acting” technique to make it sound like he was speaking extemporaneously.   HINT:  It takes practice to be able to use “uh” and “um” effectively to give that effect.

2.    He coughed and wiped his lips with his hand.  This was good.  Surprised?  In its analysis, MSNBC made it generic valtrex overnight sound like his coughs were mistakes that should have been technically corrected by giving him a generic valtrex overnight microphone cough switch.  Come on!  This cough was real. It was NOT a nervous habit.  He obviously had generic valtrex overnight some kind of tickle in his throat and probably spit while he was talking.  Ever happen to you?   HINT:  If you are a confident speaker, you can get away with this.  If it is a nervous habit, you’d better overcome it. Videotape your generic valtrex overnight speeches and see if it is a problem for you.

3.    Lots of humor throughout the speech.

And I can say without fear of contradiction that she (Sarah Palin) is generic valtrex overnight the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to generic valtrex overnight properly field dress a moose … with the possible exception of Teddy Roosevelt.

Also here tonight is John’s 96-year-old mother, Roberta. All I’ve got to generic valtrex overnight say is that if Roberta McCain had been the McCain captured by the generic valtrex overnight North Vietnamese, they would have surrendered.

Now, John’s father was a generic valtrex overnight bit of a rebel, too. In his first two semesters at the generic valtrex overnight Naval Academy, he managed to earn 333 demerits. Unfortunately, John later saw that generic valtrex overnight as a record to be beaten.

4.  He moved from funny to serious very well.

Humor first:

He never violated the generic valtrex overnight honor code. However, in flight school in Pensacola, he did drive a generic valtrex overnight Corvette and date a girl who worked in a bar as an generic valtrex overnight exotic dancer under the name of Marie, the Flame of Florida.

Thompson slowed down the generic valtrex overnight pace of his words, lowered his pitch and gently eased us into the generic valtrex overnight description of horrible events.

And the reason I’m telling you generic valtrex overnight these things, is that, apparently, this mixture of rebellion and generic valtrex overnight honor helped John McCain survive the next chapter of his life:  John McCain was preparing to generic valtrex overnight take off from the USS Forrestal for his sixth mission over Vietnam, when generic valtrex overnight a missile from another plane accidentally fired and hit his plane.

5.    He also knew that generic valtrex overnight it was important to bring the audience back up after relating somber/serious/emotional part of a speech.  HINT:  a semi-funny part of the story helps the transition.

He was beaten for generic valtrex overnight not giving information during interrogations. When his captors wanted the names of other pilots in his squadron, John gave them the generic valtrex overnight names of the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers.

6.    He used irony to make his point.   WARNING:  Brain research shows that older people don’t process irony as well as they did in younger years.  Know the age of your audience members.

Now our opponents tell you generic valtrex overnight not to worry about their tax increases. They tell you they are generic valtrex overnight not going to tax your family. No, they’re just going to tax “businesses”! So unless you buy something from a “business”, like groceries or clothes or gasoline … or unless you get a paycheck from a big or a small “business”, don’t worry … it’s not going to affect you.

7.    He made use of a technique all of us can and should use—visual analogies.  In this speech:  Bucket of money = bucket of water.   Money = water.

They say they (Democrats) are generic valtrex overnight not going to take any water out of your side of the generic valtrex overnight bucket, just the “other” side of the bucket! That’s their idea of tax reform.

8.    Lots of variety in the pacing of his sentences.  Lots of variety in the pitch of his sentences.  Lots of variety in the length of his sentences.   Just listen to the first minute of his speech and you’ll understand what “vocal variety” means.

Listen to generic valtrex overnight this part of his speech where he changed the pace to generic valtrex overnight rev the crowd up.

This man, John McCain is generic valtrex overnight not intimidated by what the polls say or by what is generic valtrex overnight politically safe or popular.  (Thompson speeds up here.) At a generic valtrex overnight point when the war in Iraq was going badly and generic valtrex overnight the public lost confidence, John stood up and called for generic valtrex overnight more troops. And now we are winning.

Here’s the example of how he went from complete sentences to phrases.

So then they put him in solitary confinement…for over two years.
Isolation … incredible heat beating on a generic valtrex overnight tin roof. A light bulb in his cell burning 24 hours a generic valtrex overnight day.
Boarded-up cell windows blocking any breath of fresh air.
The oppressive heat causing boils the generic valtrex overnight size of baseballs under his arms.
The outside world limited to generic valtrex overnight what he could see through a crack in a door.
We hear a lot of talk about hope.
John McCain knows about hope. That’s all he had to survive on.

9.  Finally, he used a generic valtrex overnight very tried and true technique; he asked the audience questions.  HINT: By asking questions, you generic valtrex overnight re-engage the audience and make them part of your solution.

It’s pretty clear there are generic valtrex overnight two questions we will never have to ask ourselves, “Who is this man?” and “Can we trust this man with the Presidency?”

On second thought, I’ll give him an A+++.
