EDITORS COMMENTS
Dos for Public Speakers by H.M. Bateman (1912) This delightful and humorous cartoon by renowned British satirical illustrator H.M. Bateman, published in 1912, offers invaluable advice for public speakers through the use of visual wit and clever commentary. The cartoon, titled "Dos for Public Speakers," is a visual representation of the Public Speaking Club of America's guidance for orators, orators-in-training, and anyone looking to hone their public speaking skills. The illustration depicts a speaker standing confidently at a podium, addressing a captivated audience. Bateman's playful interpretation of the dos, or recommendations, for effective public speaking includes: 1. "Do speak loudly and clearly." The speaker in the cartoon is shown with a megaphone, emphasizing the importance of projecting one's voice. 2. "Do make yourself interesting." The speaker's intriguing and dramatic pose captures the audience's attention. 3. "Do use gestures." Bateman illustrates this point with the speaker's expressive hands, emphasizing the power of body language. 4. "Do be sincere." The speaker's genuine connection with the audience is conveyed through their eye contact and heartfelt expression. 5. "Do be brief." The cartoon features a clock with the hands racing, reminding speakers to keep their speeches concise. On the contrary, the don'ts, or what to avoid, are humorously conveyed through a series of cartoonish blunders, such as speaking with a mouthful of food or dozing off during the presentation. Bateman's "Dos for Public Speakers" remains a timeless reminder of the essential elements of effective public speaking, offering both amusement and inspiration for those looking to master the art of oratory.
