Introduction

Public speaking involves speaking before a group of people. It is a structured process that has a deliberate intention of entertaining, influencing or informing the listeners. It is almost similar to presentation, normally done in business meetings.

People involved in public speaking are leaders and highly influential people such as politicians, religious leaders, and entertainers. Public speaking has fundamental elements just like any other form of communication.

These elements can either help or hinder the overall production of one’s presentation and they include: physical, vocal and spatial presentations. This paper is a response paper that discusses how the actors in the play ‘Electricidad’ perform public speech. It focuses on 3 of the actors and evaluates these actors’ physical, vocal and spatial presentation.

Nino the young Choro, has been sent by the father to be trained to be a Choro. The young boy seems to be very weak during the training session in the first scene. He finds the training so hard and he is unable to withstand it.

He is supposed to be trained and then go back to Vegas for a Choro title march. Young Choro has been in training for six months with his trainer but still displays weakness. Though his physical presentation is weak, he has good vocal presentation because he is very audible and confident even though he is made to repeat and explain a word he did not pronounce clearly.

He maintains a conversation with his trainer and asks him several questions. He even goes ahead to narrate how he became inspired by a small light bulb back in his home. He has good stage movement that brings out the emotions in his words coupled with good tonal variation.

The other character in the play is Young Nino’s trainer. He displays good presentation skills in the play. He is relaxed in the whole play and has a good sense of humor. He makes the audience laugh on several occasions. His vocal presentation is great because he is very audible and he pronounces the words quite clearly.

He also knows how to begin a conversation with a lady in the traditional Latino way. His humor is good at keeping the audience attentive at all times since they will be anxious to watch the scenes that he appears in.

Though he mixes Spanish and English in the play, the overall outcome is very exciting even for non Spanish speakers. The last and final actor in the play is a lady who comes from the same place as the trainer of young Choro. Her physical presentation is good as she uses appealing language to woo the trainer into her house. She is very confident even in responding to a perceived stranger who wants to hit on her.

In conclusion we see that overall production of the play as good because of the confidences and wonderful stage presentation of these characters. When these elements of public speaking are not displayed well in a presentation then, then the person giving the speech will not win the ears of the audience.

The audience’s concentration needs to be sustained at all times. To assist in enhancing the skill of public speaking, one needs to undergo training. Training is good because it enable one to get familiar with the stage and hence builds the necessary confidence required to make a good public speaker. It is hard for one to run away from this form of communication for it is applied almost everywhere.
