The Standard Deviants - Learn Public Speaking

This dvd was very helpful to my Speech 101 students. It's jammed pack with information about various components needed to write any type of essay. It even breaks down the types of essays. I liked how it went right along with the textbook. Please have an open mind and sense of humor when watching. I liked the waves of humor. For the price, this dvd does deliver. And I will continue to use it for this class.

This is a very balanced program on public speaking. It cover almost all the basics you would need to make a speech . From writing and organizing the content for a speech right down to the mechanics of delivery.It is an excellent resource for beginners as well as experienced speakers to really lock down the basics of public speaking. Although the cover and the standards deviants style can be quite corny , they do quite well for themselves on this instructional dvd.And at such a low price , its almost a sin for someone interested in public speaking not to buy this dvd.

All of the Standard Deviant stuff is good but is very fast-paced so it is not introductory material but review. The video is packed with great information but you almost have to stop it ever few minutes to take notes because you are so overwhelmed by all they present. I'd rather do that than not have any meaningful content though.

Good video very informative work well for the class as a whole the class learned a lot from the video and was kept laughing at the actors.

This movie is hokey, but since so few companies want to spend any money making film about public speaking, we have few choices. This one film is pretty watchable and has good, practical information that can help students better understand how to develop and deliver speeches.

Standard Deviants always have great educational DVDs and this one fits the bill. It was the perfect DVD to learn about Public Speaking. We even showed the DVD to some of my son's friends so they could learn about public speaking as well.

I tried to show my Effective Oral Communication class this video, but they grew irritated by the screeching music continuously playing in the background. They begged me to turn it off. I rated it 2 stars because before I shut it off, the troupe does offer some good tips, but it was too unbearable to continue.

It's an OK product. I purchased it for my 9 year old son and wasn't very engaging or interesting for him.
