Take the inaugural speech of President Obama in 2013 as an example to see what is a successful speech.(1) Appearance Instruments Appearance should be in line with the occasion of the speech, and see on what occasion the speech is solemn or light, sad or joyful.

If the content of the speech is joyful, it would be better to wear light, bright clothes. In addition Journal, National. Word Cloud Comparison of Obama's Two Victory SpeechesJ. National Journal,2012,:., it should be remembered that speech is not a literary performance, not a theatrical performance, but a relatively formal and elegant social activity. Therefore, the dress of the speech follows the principle of "three sons": collar, sleeve and button. In President Obamas inaugural address in 2013,we can see President Obamas wearing and matching, both showing his firm character and his political determination. On the day of the campaign, Obama wore a black suit and shirt with blue Tie, showing his calm and authoritative side.Obama is wearing a thoughtful conspirator, and seemingly unremarkable politician dress is actually a thoughtful consideration and metaphor. Obamas body is a tall, lean type, and a fitted suit will make the overall look look taller and thinner (2) Posture The posture of the hand, usually called a gesture. It refers to the specific movements and postures that people appear when they use their arms. It is the first communication tool used by human beings and still widely used today. In general, gestures are both dynamic and static. From the time he took office as president, and in the media, there are many gestures used, but different occasions, different gestures, and different meanings. For example, internal OK gestures, suppressed gestures, and differentiated gestures are all gestures that Obama often uses when speaking.The gesture of the speech also gives the audience a certain impression. When giving a speech, let the gesture relax and the whole movement be relaxed and natural. Don't be too nervous. Excessive nervousness will not only show clumsy and rigid posture, but also affect speech. Obamas use of gestures is just rightWang, Junling. A Critical Discourse Analysis of Barack Obamas SpeechesJ. 2010,1(3):. The range of his arms is almost always in the ideal position between the shoulders and the ankles. When he was speaking, his arms were always slightly open and his palms were facing down. This gesture will give the audience a hint of "giving". Such as: “Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names”.And Like most politicians, Obama also likes to make an index finger movement, except that his index finger does not point to the front of the audience, but to the top or side. This avoids aggressive effects and does not disgust or disturb the listener.In addition, his body is often leaning forward slightly, focusing on the soles of the feet, showing a positive attitude, indicating "I have the ability to make changes." He knows how to show himself before the big scene, so that the audience feels that the president cares about everyone's voice. He extended his five-finger hand to the masses to reach out to a wider range of people. When he showed his close traits, he released his vitality, without any false pretense or deliberate desire.Facial expression refers to the color, lusterJunling Wang.

Expression is also an important gesture language. Even if the content of the speech is wonderful, if the expression is always lack of confidence, timid, speech is not convincing. Expression is like the mirror of the soul, with the most sensitive characteristics. Obama is confident in his facial expressions, no need to control it, and everything is under control. A hearty smile is Obama's signature look. The reason why his smile can be easily perceived by others and achieves a touching effect is because his smile starts to bloom from the eye, not just the opening movement of the mouth. (3) Pronunciation and Mood Flat narrative speeches always make the audience drowsy. Applying melodic tone expression skills and appropriate gesture movements will make the speech very effective. Obamas 18-minute speech effectively uses the melodic tone expression skills of the melody. Every speech in his speech is paused and contains his own infinite emotional color.When appealing or calling, we should increase the volume and tone. If we always use large volume or heavy tone, we can not highlight the key points, but give people a sense of noise and exaggeration. Expressing emotions with a high intonation, such as praise, anger, questioning, etc., but always high will give people a feeling of posturing.Such as：“ They gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.”In this sentence, Obama will increase the volume and tone, so that Obama hopes to gain the trust and support of the people.1.2 Inaugural speechInaugural speech Nurfitri,Yenni Rozimela,Refnaldi.

Will lead the nation to revive the United States.The unprepared speech is the impromptu speech we usually call.
