In your opinion, what is the best way to improve your rhetorical abilities? I suspect that is my weakness of the three
I like to listen to great speeches. Audible has some good titles. I'll listen at least 3 times. The first time I'll pay attention to the vocabulary. The second time I try to hear the beat or rhythm (a derivative of the grammar). Finally, I'll listen for the variations in tones, emphasis and timing. Shakespeare was a master, so give that a listen too.
