Favorite Speaker

I think my favorite speakers are comedians like, Jeff Foxworthy, Larry The Cable Guy, and Bill Engvall.  Yes, I know they do not always grasp the sophisticated ideals of an orator, but they speak and tell stories with a confidence and demeanor that radiates from them. The stories they tell, may not be true, but have some truth behind them.  It's all about the confidence. I feel that they feed off the atmosphere of the audience. They are not necessarily going for a Logos, or Ethos feeling, but more of Pathos. I feel that I am an "ok" speaker. I try to speak with confidence and portray truth in what I say.  In my mind I am a believable and honorable person, and I would hope that when I speak, people feel I am believable and trustworthy.  I can’t imagine going up and giving a speech or presentation and walking away with the feeling that the audience was disappointed or that they that the audience distrusted me. I am a very logical thinker, and therefore I tend to give presentations that are logically based.
