Overview

The session will be based on the classic method for analyzing a speech developed by Aristotle: Logos, Ethos and Pathos, utilizing his 5 major canons of Invention, Organization, Style, Memory and Delivery. The session will concentrate on how to give an effective speech more than what should be the content of the speech.

Recorded in June 2026.
