Another great idea from my
public speaking book
is learning how to incorporate ads into your
speech.
You can make your own fake ads, or use real
ads that are funny and geared to your
particular presentation. You can project them
on screen, read them aloud or distribute hem
as handouts to your audience.
You can cut ads out that you find and
photocopy them for distribution or use them as
slides in your overheads. You should always be
looking for funny ads that relate to your
presentation topic or your audience in
magazines and newspapers. You will learn the
best ways to create and find ads from reading my
public speaking book.
Jay Leno, an entertainer who is widely known
for his sense of humor, has a series of books
called Headlines I, II, and III. They are a
collection of really funny headlines from
newspapers and magazines all over the country.
They also have lots of blooper advertisements
along with some funny commentary from Jay. One
of my favorites was of a funeral monument
company that advertised a lifetime replacement
guarantee.
You can read these out loud to your audience
without worrying about copyright infringement
as long as you always attribute the source.
You don't want to claim material as your own
if you did not create it. Giving proper credit
to the author is an important lesson taught in my
public speaking book.
*Be careful not to violate copyrights,
remember you are a professional public
speaker, who knows how to "break the rules"
but always obey the law.
