Concept- Ch.5

I found the section on “developing credibility with your audience” to be very informative. I learned that what goes under a speakers credibility are competence, socialabilty, dynamism, and trustworthiness. For competence, it means to be knowledgeable about your subject. So that means that a lot of researching should go into talking about the topic. Secondly, is being trustworthy which means the audience wants to feel the sincerity of the speaker and actually cares about them. Thirdly, dynamism is being about to put on a good performance in a way. Lastly, sociability is being able to connect with audience. These are four things I will keep in mind while I practice for my speech. I find that all these dimensions to be very important for the speaker to keep in mind. I want to make sure that know as much as I can about my topic, be lively, sincere, and make people feel that they can relate to what I speak about.
