WHAT MAKES OBAMA A GREAT SPEAKER?
• One of the Democratic Party’s great contemporary orators
• Lyricism in writing
• Obama borrows devices from great speakers of the past (Kennedy)
• Body orientation, hands close to body,
limited pitch ranges (enables him
to “convey passion without
exhibiting it”)Barack Obama By: Himanshu Sachar & Harshil Shah
