"Influential Speaker"

I would have to say one of the best speakers I have really listened to was my professor from last semester. Mrs. Jennifer Morrison has a way to connect everything she says to everything in life in a matter of minutes. I am not very self-motivated when it comes to school work. But I found myself really becoming intrigued about the class, and wanting to know more. What made her communication skills so memorable was the passion she had. I could tell Mrs. Morrison loved talking about each and every chapter of the book. She had a way of pulling in the entire class, even when the subject was 'boring.' Another quality she had was keeping her tone the same throughout. She never let her audience down and kept her spunky personality up throughout. Now the worst speaker I ever heard would have to be the priest at my Grandma's church. I know it is religion and it always becomes a touchy subject, but come on; I want to praise the lord, not fall asleep. He had no personality what so ever. Even after the ceremony was over and small talk was an option. This guy just didn’t have 'IT.' I wanted to assign him to ethos, logos, or pathos, but when you have no tone to follow, no climax to become anxious for, no rhythm to get your mind on, boredom takes over and he becomes forgotten with the blink of an eye.
