Fist published in 1908, this volume contains a collection of short stories and anecdotes compiled for use by public speakers, as well as sections on useful skills for the orator including pausing, impersonation, pronunciation, imagination, etc. Grenville Kleiser (1868–1953) was a North American author best remembered for his many inspirational and motivational books, especially those related to oration and self development. He also worked as a Public Speaking teacher at Yale Divinity School, Yale University. Full of useful material and priceless tips and hints, “Humorous Hits and How to Hold an Audience” is highly recommended for those with an interest in public speaking and allied disciplines. Other notable works by this author include: “How to Speak in Public” (1906), “Humorous Hits and How to Hold an Audience” (1908), and “Stories that Take” (1910). Contents include: “How to Hold an Audience”, “Humorous Hits”, and “Serious Hits”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
