A Confident Speaker

Obama has marked history by becoming the president of the United States. His great speaking skills are in great part what helped him get to the white house. He employs great use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. This lets him capture great audiences and convince them of his ideas. He is letting the people know that change has finally come to America and by using his great speaking skills he is able to convince them of what he is saying.

Obamas joy must have been overwhelming but thought the speech he was able to maintain a serious and professional tone of voice. By using great tone and changing the tone, when necessary, he is able to create a feeling of pride and suspense in the public. He uses a constant tone through most of the speech but he is able to change it when an important event comes up. Part of what makes him a great speaker is his self confidence. When you see him in the stage he is standing with his head tall and totally straight as if he knew exactly what he was doing. By doing this he is creating a feeling of confidence within the public because they feel he is experienced and a man of great knowledge. He constantly changes the direction he is looking at which makes everyone feel included in the speech and not just the people in front of him. Obama is a master at publicly speaking and with a single speech he is able to convince a total stranger of what he believes. His confidence makes us feel like he is right and anyone that is in disagreement with his ideas is wrong.
