The art of oratory

If you missed it on Sunday night, I highly recommend you watch this fab programme on speeches and speech writing...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00jt42v/Yes_We_Can!_The_Lost_Art_Of_Oratory

Some really good principles you can apply to copywriting, like considering the character of the person who's writing and finding key words/phrases that your audience responds to.

Article worth reading too:

This programme is being followed by a new series for young speech writers. Look out for it on BBC.
