"spe(a)ch givers" ?

Are you looking for the word "orators" ?

Is there a clue in your own username?

Anyone, sitting at home, and thinking rationally, would have dismissed Hitler's ideas as insane (even the Germans in the 1930's).

But stand him on a platform, and he persuaded a whole nation that his loopy ideas represented their destiny.

Is that the sort of thing you mean?

Yes I agree with what you say Jogger however I have to write a 750 word essay about it. I have cut and paste a few things already from the internet but would like someone else to compare Hitler too. Maybe Mussolini? was he any good?

Addy ...

Why don't you take the speech by Mark Anthony in Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar, and try to see who, in real life, has used the oratorial techniques that he used?

Mark Anthony took a hostile crowd and, while appearing to praise his opponents, and accept the criticisms of Ceasar, subtly planted seeds in the mind of the crowd until they were begging him to lead them.

It is the ultimate example of a great speech. It is used as a model by speech writers, and by marketing companies.

ok thanks Jogger I will google and start cutting and pasteing in. I am going to include your paragraph too. I hope you dont mind. If I get top marks I will buy you a coffee :)
Okay, deal.

I'd try to give you more, but, on the subject of great men, I have an appointment with the greatest man in the whole world ...

... I'm taking my Daddy for lunch.

Good luck with the essay ... I might put my nose in when I get back.
