I’ve done a couple LW posts on speaking skills (none intended to be Dark Arts-y), in case you find any helpful:
Four Tips for Public Speaking—The four tips that seemed to improve speeches the most, fastest, when I was mentoring other speakers in college
False Friends and Tone Policing—Ways to recognize if you’re giving inadvertent offense that is making it impossible for your audience to listen to you
Change Contexts to Improve Arguments—Putting thought into choosing good environments for disagreement (my living room, with freshly baked cookies, makes people feel safer and more inclined to engage with ugh fields, than rapid-fire and in public on facebook)
