This is actually an excerpt from a movie but I believe it is the best example of mesmerizing or capturing an audience and eventually succeeding.
I’ve had the chance of watching it over and over again and truly, it’s an experience that is totally new every time I tune in.
Any speaker can well take his audience off their feet with a good combination of words, emotions and tone. Rupert Everett was the best man for the role. Did you see how the eyes of his audience widened in expectation for the next line that he’d throw? Did you feel the excitement as he pitched in the words line by line?
He may have only been playing make believe in that particular role but you would have fell for that story of his if you weren’t watching the movie.
The excitement crept totally to his audience making them participate. Now isn’t this just the kind of audience participation that any speaker would want?
The lines were right and very well matched the situation. You’d actually feel falling in love and connecting to the story yourself.
If you’re one who would like to put a new touch to that piece you’re going to deliver, this excerpt is truly a piece that you could pick up a few perks from.
