Synopsis

Professor E.C. Beuhler, having gained immortality (or was it infamy?) a year earlier by consenting to have himself filmed while making the Knee Test for the first "Speech" short, gets a speaking role in this sequel. But for a guy who seems to be such an expert on elocution, he seems to have an awfully raspy, sloppy voice. It's definitely not what I would call pleasing. However, the good professor wisely forgoes the opportunity to use himself as an object lesson, opting instead to parade before…

Not a bad speech improvement film, it could have used a little more specific examples. All the examples of bad speech habits vs good were sort of confusing. There were some great bad talkers in this film though, mainly that dude in the beginning and the women's club speaker.
