At his message boards, Barry just posted a great little dissertation on How To Give a Great Talk.

I’ve done a lot of public speaking myself (between competitive debate and my legal career), and I can tell you that there is a lot of gold in there. But more than just some advice on public speaking, there are some nuggets that apply equally well to smaller settings … say … role-playing games. In fact, Barry is rather overt about it: “Your talk is a story.”

So go have a read.
