Taking the fear out of speech-giving

Occasional Words offers free articles to help people speak more effectively in public

TORONTO – September 21, 2006: Are you afraid to inject comedy into your public presentations? Are you worried about mispronouncing your words? Does your fear of public speaking make your voice sound tense and nervous? If so, Occasional Words may have just the solution you’re seeking.

Occasional Words is a leading online purveyor of customizable speech templates for all occasions. This past month, the site began to feature a wide range of free articles and resources specifically developed to help public speakers improve their speaking effectiveness and overcome their most common fears.

“Shortly after our launch in 1999, we began to receive requests from people for tips on how they could become better public speakers,” explains Michael Rabinovici, Manager of Sales. “To respond to those needs, we developed the top ten tips people need to know to give a great speech.”

“Our recent launch of free articles and public speaking resources is just an extension of that concept,” Rabinovici continues. “In addition to still being able to access our free tips, our online community can now also access a large and expanding range of free articles specifically geared to helping them speak more effectively.”

The free articles currently available span a wide range of issues, such as improving public speaking using comical techniques, strategies for increasing the power of your voice, tips for avoiding redundancy in your speeches, and the five best (and worst) ways to open a speech.

Talk is Cheap with Free Speeches from Say-It-Again

New Community Web Site Lets People Share “Used” Content

TORONTO – September 21, 2006: Whether you’re terrified of public speaking or you thrive under the spotlight, a new community Web site may be just the solution you didn’t know you were looking for. Launched in June of this year, Say-It-Again (www.say-it-again.com) is a completely free exchange for speeches and toasts.

People who have been invited to give a speech and are searching desperately for just the right words can search through the free Say-It-Again inventory to find the precedent they need. For their part, people who are eager to share their speeches or toasts with the world can upload their masterpieces directly into the portal, without charge.

As an added bonus, the site recently began providing free articles and resources designed to help people overcome their fear of public speaking and better hone their presentation skills.

“It all started with my brother getting married,” admits Michael Rabinovici, President of Internet Management Services, the company that owns and operates Say-It-Again. “There were eight speeches given and every one of them was amazing. After the festivities, we all looked at each other and said: Wouldn’t it be great if we could post these speeches somewhere online?”

Say-It-Again was launched to fulfill that desire. At the same time, Rabinovici and his team realized the site could also work in the other direction. “I’m comfortable writing my own speeches, but I know that’s not true for everyone,” he explains. “So we realized Say-It-Again would be the perfect vehicle to help nervous speakers use existing speeches to build their own successful speech or toast. It’s a win-win.”

Anyone who has written a speech or toast they would like to share, or who needs a speech for an upcoming event, can simply register through Say-It-Again’s easy registration process to gain immediate access to the site’s full speech inventory. Visitors can also access the site’s free public speaking articles and resources whenever they like.

To learn more about Say-It-Again, download free speeches, upload your own speech samples, or access a wealth of public speaking resources, visit www.say-it-again.com.
