MAKING YOUR POINT Communicating Effectively with Audiences of One to One Million

Here’s a good case for reading the print version of a text while listening to an audiobook. Although there are many great points to follow, along with many pertinent examples, this production also includes many lists that the listener wants to circle, underline, or at least be able to go back to when necessary. Also, the listener may be a bit overwhelmed by all the verbiage necessary to make each point, almost to the extent of exhaustion. Jonathan Coleman is a motivated speaker whose passion comes through in his narration. His intonation has a deep-rooted exclamation point, no matter what the topic. While this work is informative and has sound advice, it’s best listened to in small chunks, one point at a time. D.L.M. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2008]
