The Speech Model Made up of four facets. o Speaker o Message o Listener o Feedback Works in a cycle. When one facet of the model does not function correctly, the communication process breaks down.

Speech Model: Speaker The speaker formulates a thought and translates that thought into words, which is communicated to the audience. What can go wrong with the speaker? Example: Speaker does not speak loud enough for all of the audience to hear her.

Speech Model: Message The message is the speaker's words, carried through air, and delivered to the audience. What can go wrong with the message? Example: The speaker's message is in a language that is not spoken or understood by his audience.

Speech Model: Listener The listener is the receiver of the message, and translates the speaker's words into thoughts. What can go wrong with the listener? Example: The listener is not paying attention. Instead of listening to the speaker, they are texting and playing games on their cell phones.

Speech Model: Feedback Feedback is given, either verbally or nonverbally, to the speaker. What can go wrong with the feedback? Example: The speaker does not do anything when half of her audience has fallen asleep.

Five Communication Arenas Self-communication: I communicate with myself. Interpersonal communication: I communicate with one other person. Group communication: I communicate with two or more other people. Public communication: I speak to a group or am part of an audience. Mass Media communication: I am an audience to a media presentation or I communicate through the media.

Stage Fright: Fact or Myth? Most people have some degree of stage fright. The best speakers have learned to eliminate their fear. A speaker's fear is obvious to the audience. Speaker experience commonly decreases fear. Fear affects women more than men If the inexperienced speaker is nervous, it is more obvious to the audience through non-verbal behaviors.
