1. The Differences of Public Speaking By Rotha Chao

2. Television, Radio, and Internet Radio

3. Television and public speaking • Televisions are now more of a necessity in many homes around the United States. In my family we average about five televisions per home; with usually more than one on at a time. The most useful part of watching television is seeing what is happening.

4. Television All Eyes on You

5. There can be a lot more distractions, doing a speech on television. • Lights • Audience • Noise • Ect. Remember to follow through.

6. Speeches preformed on television are actually more viewed by teens, according to a survey; conducted by myself. In my opinion it impacts minds at a greater level. Although according to the website radioads, I am a “light” viewer, at about 90 minutes per day; which is about 40% of all television viewers.

8. Radio and Public Speaking

10. The radio has been around for many generations as basic source for news, music, politics, and just about anything else people will listen to. There are five main types of Radio and according to radiofacts website this is the basic list: • Private • National • Hospital • Community / Private

11. A statistic I found from radio preparation notes states that, “Typically in radio there is a targeted demographic.” (I.e. Hispanic females 18-30, white males 24-40, etc)Usually these listeners vary from station to station. But all in the same, the guidelines are strict. These guidelines include:(These guidelines come from the radio preparations notes)Religion to a minimumAdvertising is controlledSwearing is rarely usedAlthough, according to radioads, "75% of people who listen to the radio ads imagine themselves in the ads."

13. Internet and Public Speaking

14. The radio has come a long way since World War I. A new generation with options for HD satellite radio; which covers many different channels—commercial free, with a reoccurring monthly fee. They even have radio channels online for the techno savvy. Blogtalkradio, is one of the online radio sites that I have heard about in recent years.

15. Blogtalkradio is free; all you have to do is sign up. You can send messages or call in. You can read or listen to shows, which vary from interviews of famous people to 13 year old children speaking from their homes. Yes, this means that blogtalkradio offers users to create their own live talk shows; so anybody can get their voice heard across the world. • Talk show hosts include: • Electoral candidates • Bestselling authors • Owners of the leading companies/websites found around the world

17. In Conclusion

18. So in conclusion there are many different types of ways speeches can be brought out through technology. I have informed you on: • Television speeches • Radio speeches • Internet radio speeches

19. There are many similarities and differences between all of these speeches. Some people prefer one over the other. In fact, at the end of this research I conducted my own personal survey. The question was, “would you prefer to listen to a speech on the radio, television, or on the internet.” There were 10 young adults ages (17-25) and 10 adults ages (30+) that were involved. The results were surprising. My survey showed that about 70% of younger adults prefer a speech presented on the television; while the adults on the other hand were about 50-50 with radio and television.

20. Being energetic is a big key, whether giving a speech on radio, television, or on the internet; getting through to your audience is a big deal. The most important thing to remember when giving a speech is; just meet the goal of your speech and make your point clear to your audience.
