Alex , Anything on flexing communication style.

[@alexanderlyon]

I don't have any videos on that but it's an interesting idea.

[@TheMarketingMan4U]

Only u can turn this idea turn into reality. What say?

[@JamminWithKapu]

Antithesis is probably my favorite. “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” - Attributed to Jimi Hendrix

[@theluckshow9617]

I feel like I just learned how to rap. 😉😂 great video

[@alexanderlyon]

Ha! Yes, true. Rappers and other song writers use lots of these. Gotta get the most out of every word.

[@puneetgupta4483]

Beautifully explained. I really appreciate your taking the time to look for the right examples. Plan to watch it a couple of more times.

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad it was helpful, Puneet.

[@perastrol7513]

You are planning to watch it a few more times because repetition is such a powerful tool.

[@loveandlovie]

Very helpful list. The explanations are succinct and easy to follow and the examples take the explanations to the next level! And your voice is in that nice mid-range that's easy on the ears but commands attention. What a great instructor! Thanks so much for this; I'M going to choose two or three to master :)

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad it was helpful. Thank you for the kind words, Antoinette.

[@TheChurchOfPhakeKnewz]

Ref. The “check” example. Note. Make sure the reference is known to the listener. The younger person may not understand what the “check “ reference means.

[@eshanoor8428]

Your way of teaching is really commendable. I learn a lot of things from your lecture .

[@SK-le1gm]

Superb. When we have nothing left to give, there’ll be no reason for us to live (a fugazi lyric)

[@alexanderlyon]

A rhyme!

[@GregChacon]

Thank you for this content. I really have been learning from this channel. I just subscribed.

[@bearblue7424]

[@alexanderlyon]

Thank you, Jonathan. I appreciate your encouragement.

[@Knowledge_Nuggies]

This man looks like EVERY high school teacher from EVERY American movie. Impressive.

[@niranjangurjar5321]

I learned a lot this video . It's completely an amazing experiene . We hope more in future

[@alexanderlyon]

Thank you, Niranjan. I'm glad it was helpful.

[@karenpalmen1698]

This is a wonderful teaching tool. Thank you! I am teaching public speaking for the first time and my students are getting ready to do their first speeches. This video makes rhetorical devices seem accessible.

[@alexanderlyon]

I'm glad it helps, Karen. I hope you enjoy teaching as much as I do.

[@kathconstance4684]

The first one, I love it - it gives bang for your buck!

[@mbjjunior8629]

His word pace is so even! Thank you sir.

[@tochukwuaderibigbe3244]

Thank you! It's personification for me just giving life to inanimate things is amazing!

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, that can be powerful when done well.

[@jinavacana2510]

Those points are invaluable to me, like showing me a treasure, much phycological.. its going to be much helpful for many other people around me. Thanks you Billion times!!!, Another thing, I feel those techniques are should not limited to only a Speech or Letter, what must be applied practiced with real life to have a happy happy family or any other background

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad it was helpful, Jina.

[@OceanOfArtsbyT.S]

Example of parallelism and other examples are so interesting..

[@fredsdead378]

you know a great deal about speaking, thank you for your free video.

[@alexanderlyon]

So nice of you. Thank you.

[@periclezng8405]

Great video. My best was not mentioned though - Anaphora. That was what Martin Luther king used a couple of times in that great speech. Starting successive sentences with the same set of words for emphasis. "I have a dream ......"

[@testguy]

There seems to be a lot of overlap between analogies, metaphors and similes. I'm not sure if it will help, but I like to differentiate between them by saying that similes and metaphors are used to describe, where as analogies are used to explain.

[@alexanderlyon]

I think you are right. Lots of overlap in that they all draw comparisons in slightly different ways. I like your describe and explain tip.

[@cathymulroyormerv.mclaughl8166]

I was looking at Toastmasters on KZbin. Then I spotted you. I cant tell you how happy I am. You have a lot of inform that I am interested in. Your a great teacher and will watch and take notes and then try them out. Thank you so much. Great way to spend the lock down . Cathy Mulroy

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad I could help!

[@toniaego1968]

You are indeed a great coach. This is an interesting message.

[@agungpurnomo3430]

I like so much about hyperbole

[@daurentabanov3581]

I liked the Rhyme part because I like to read out poems and act on stage.

[@alexanderlyon]

I always like it when I hear it. It’s not yet a technique I feel comfortable with when I do it.

[@ligidaykurin9106]

Very informative, Thank you

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad it was helpful. Thank you!

[@vignanavedika940]

Veey useful communication skills vividly explained.

[@sgrunklylimes]

This really helped with my persuasive speech! Thank you!

[@mercurious6699]

Incredibly useful, thank you very much

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad it was helpful. I appreciate the feedback.

[@justme-zn4vh]

Thank you, your lessons will help me a lot.

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad to hear that, ryzen.

[@diliafernandez9026]

I love them all, but consonants, the sound of consonants words, has been my favorite tip. Thanks

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad you like them. That's a relatively easy one to add to any message, too.

[@narmadanandakumar7783]

Parallel structure was interesting By the way thanks a lot for makin this video I learnt much for my exam

[@lindsayhartman7135]

Amazing video presentation.

[@alexanderlyon]

Thank you, Lindsay. I'm glad it was helpful. I appreciate your kind words.

[@theschoolofbodylanguage]

Amazing Inspirational Devices Amazing Public Speaking Presentation's Devices Amazing Rhetorical Devices Next time, I go for parallels & antithesis Thank you for your content

[@alexanderlyon]

Thanks, Roxani. I appreciate your encouragement.

[@angelooliveira8]

You opened my mind so strong that looks like it blows off! Thank you, thank you and thank you!

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad I could help!

[@shraddhajayaraman]

Personification is my favourite. It gives a personality to an object immediately

[@Potencyfunction]

Than try google allegorie ...

[@halimamohamed3131]

I have learnt a lot from the video

[@blueoak116]

Nice job! Excellent examples.

[@Potencyfunction]

Blueoak you repetions have to sound like a you suffer of gramatical chronic knowledge. You say 5 times "excelent,excelent, excelent,excelent,excelent". After you have repeat it for 5 times, than start going around you tube and make the same comment because it is just sound rethorical correct...😈

[@microapple97]

Antithesis is my favorite, not because of any personal preference, but because it is the beautiful, self-contradictory basis of logic and reasoning themselves.

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, Nolan. Your comments was worded using antithesis! It really is your favorite.

[@microapple97]

@@alexanderlyon >:D I could continue, but then it’d get annoying ;) Love the content!!! Very interesting and important area of study. It’s funny how easily we fail to recognize the devices that we deploy every day, yet they are still so integral to communication and connection. It’s a good thing you’re helping bring awareness to them!

[@spencerkim4755]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@crazzy23]

Videos on writing public speaking paper

[@Rose-ez9vf]

Really helpful! Definitely going to be using these in my speeches next year! My favorite is always alliteration...! Lol

[@alexanderlyon]

Good choice, Rachel. I use that one, too. It fits in anywhere and almost always adds value.

[@Rose-ez9vf]

Communication Coach Alex Lyon I just realized your channel name used alliteration lol

[@pilarrobles3547]

1:06 time stamp on for start of list

[@gabbysgospel]

Very good I’ll be back to check out more of your videos

[@pauls7056]

Alex always achieves! Another great presentation. Thank you for posting.

[@alexanderlyon]

My pleasure, Paul.

[@meghalbhatt225]

Parallel structure is my fave.

[@dungnguyenthithuy4035]

this was useful. Ty

[@Brosak.]

NICE! Now I can play 5 hrs more of video games pr day!😊

[@wepnjemupbah3786]

My favorite rhetorical device is alliteration

[@paulrowe9022]

Great stuff for my rhetorical analysis writing students.

[@alexanderlyon]

Great, Paul. Im glad it will be helpful.

[@zaff_sheep8103]

very nice video bro i love this keep up the great work bro (my teacher forced me to do this :) )

[@innotaltekchhetry6596]

Is it a mistake to understand the repetition of "I have a dream", a phrase as ANAPHORA instead of parallelism?

[@alexanderlyon]

A mistake? No. _Mistake_ is a strong word when discussing terms and real-life examples. There's so much room for overlap and interpretation. I can see how it might be fun to debate it but, in the end, I think it can be used as a fair example of both. I have a dream is very common example of Anaphora but its also an example of parallelism because the statements that follow each I have a dream lead-in are themselves very much crafted in parallel ways. But, the point of the video is not really about the labels themselves. I'm much more interested in speakers using these techniques to enhance our message.

[@brawlstarscasual]

Really great video, helped me a lot thank you🔥

[@mariaangelicadaponte7867]

Ohhh Great video!! I will use it with my students! Thanks! :)

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad it was helpful!

[@junejuly4518]

My favorite is hyperbole........ Especially the example of 2018

[@Potencyfunction]

Yes indeed using hyperbole is like saying : the attention disorder hyper deficit is the highestt form on intelligence in the univers.

[@olivemaxton984]

Thank you for the awesome video!

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad you liked it, Olive.

[@onyedikapromise6416]

Love this video.

[@giorgichkhatarashvili1171]

Hi, this video is really helpful! But I have a question, which rethorical device is used in the following sentence? "This is not just X, but it's also Y."

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, giorgi. It sounds like the #10, Anti-thesis @16:05. Anti-thesis has elements of parallel structure but uses that contrasting set up, _"Not A, but B."_

[@eshanoor8428]

Fabulous😊

[@adityamishra9570]

I love you; you're a good teacher.

[@haydendeatherage683]

Everyone in the comments: "Wow thanks for the content it helped a lot!" Me: "He really just called the tesseract a 'Space Cube' XD"

[@alexanderlyon]

It holds the Space Stone and it's a cube!!!! Ha. I'm a major Marvel fan.

[@haydendeatherage683]

@@alexanderlyon Same I just thought it was really funny that you described it like that XD

[@marinimandalikalamri2541]

Can anyone give me any book or any references about rethorical devices, please

[@upgrade1015]

It’s like add copy and sales

[@alexanderlyon]

You're not wrong! Marketers do their best to get the maximum impact out of very few words. Sometimes they fail, but some ads are very clever and catchy.

[@lahirumadhusanka7935]

Valuable knowledge Thank you very much

[@alexanderlyon]

My pleasure!

Any from Kerala🖐️

[@AMARACHUKWUKA1]

@communication coach Alex Lyon, Personification and amplification. But how do I get to learn the duo deeply so I could be applying it daily?

[@alexanderlyon]

The best way to get better at it is to start practicing.

[@luzparsley5677]

Wonderful!!!!

[@UnknownPedestrian]

You didn't explain why I have a dream is parallelism, and you also didn't explain what parallelism is.

[@mesbahabdelgadir6632]

How can I download the PDF

[@cgregister]

Great!!!

[@bhoomimane2592]

In Amplification with word check u mean bank cheque?

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, correct. "Check" is the American spelling for it.

[@AgabaRichard7]

Hey Alex, how can I become a best speaker ?

[@alexanderlyon]

Practice, practice, practice.

[@paulogum2434]

Analogy

[@nzematobo733]

Thanks for the vıdeo but i am still confused on what are really rhetorical devices. I fınd somewhere devices like Ethos, Pathos etc. please Help!

[@alexanderlyon]

Ethos, pathos, and logos are rhetorical *_appeals_* . As mentioned in the video, rhetorical or literary *_devices_* are specific techniques used to enhance words so they are more interesting, engaging, and provide value to a message beyond the straightforward meaning of the words. The two areas we are discussing here are not typically discussed together, compared/contrasted, etc. They only thing they have in common is the word rhetoric.

[@nishakhan9884]

What is the meaning of acquit* ?

[@alexanderlyon]

It means to set someone free from criminal charges.

[@amegninounsougan6273]

Wow!

[@TheChurchOfPhakeKnewz]

New news now.

[@themotocrossmodchannelWulfMX]

Genuis

[@alexanderlyon]

Ha! Far from it but these techniques are definitely the ones used by pro-level speakers, marketers, etc.

[@vignanavedika940]

The power of immorals in a country is felt badly when the immorals have power.

[@klingonprogramming3868]

I understand now why Stan Lee named the first and last names of his characters with the same letters...

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, true. Lots of great use of alliteration in comics.

[@owlnyc666]

Rap music uses a lot of rhymes

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, very true. Lots of innovative language approaches like these in rap, hip-hop, and other music. Lyrics usually provide excellent examples of getting the *_most_* out of every word.

[@Baczkowa78]

Alliteration and rhyme, mantras and metaphors. Simile is cheap.

[@bonganinkosi788]

Antithesis.

[@alexanderlyon]

It's a powerful one!

[@TheChurchOfPhakeKnewz]

👍👍👍👍👍😎

[@TheChurchOfPhakeKnewz]

I clicked on the website to download the PDF you’re talking about. Your website is quite confusing a lot of crap in there lots of crap all kinds of pictures and all kinds of things going on. If you were speaking like your website, nobody would understand what you’re talking about. So maybetake your communication skills and applied to your website my suggestion my opinion you don’t know me. It’s free. It’s worth what you paid. This was dictated that proofread because I’m not sure I want to spend my time. I like your podcasts. I’ve learned quite a bit from you but your website sucks.

[@kassierudolph8987]

Is the phrase tiger mom an apology or a metaphor?
