The most famous, powerful speakers in America all have something in common: technique. Whether the speeches are written by them or not, the underlying voices are all strategic. Depending on the message, the techniques can range. Most speakers make sure to include something catchy such as “Yes We Can,” voiced by President Barack Obama.

From the beginning of recorded history, speeches have a tendency to be influential as they connect with their audience and illicit a specific thought or emotion.

His purpose is to make the audience aware of our ‘default-setting’ of thinking. His ability to connect with his audience via word choice and the examples of everyday life he provides, proves his speech to be effective.…
When comparing the commencement speech given by Steve Jobs at Stanford University in 2005 to the commencement speech given by Barak Obama at Wesleyan University in 2008, one can argue that Steve Jobs’ address has a stronger use of the rhetorical situation and the rhetorical appeals.

In his 2005 commencement address to Stanford University, Steve Jobs incorporates ethos to prove his credibility to his audience. He begins by admitting that “[he] never graduated from college” (1).…
The purpose of this essay is to analyze what the speaker or writer is saying critically. The speech that I analyzed was Michelle Obama’s speech on gun violence. Her speech was persuasively successful because of the fact that Michelle used logos and ethos in her speech. The way she was credible throughout her speech and stated her examples made the speech successful. The reason why Michelle Obama’s speech was effective because of the use of arguments about cause and effects, arguments from analogy, and bandwagon techniques.…
Nevertheless, I knew that I would achieve some form of catharsis if I took this assignment as seriously as a possibly could. From watching the persuasive speech, it is a recurring theme in my process of watching myself speak that I am much more sympathetic of myself after given said speech. What I immediately notice is that certain planned maneuvers such as the introduction weren’t always as clear as I wanted them to be. The flash cards that I help up might have been more effective if I had less content on them.…
