Desmond Byram is an author & speechversationalist who spells badly. His passion lies in painting speeches with verbal picture like stories. He says public speaking is “a sort of painting with the voice.”

If you can’t find him taking chef lessons, salsa classes or surfing on the weekend then there’s a good chance he’s practicing his favorite art at a speakers podium somewhere either teaching or being taught. Desmond has been a member of the National Speakers Association for years. His dad let him join his first speaking school at age 11.
