He talks about the depths of the human voice and what it is capable of accomplishing. During his speech he talks about the “seven deadly sins of speaking” Which are gossip, negativity, complaining, excuses, penultimate, and dogmatism. He relates to his audience by asking them if they ever felt like they were speaking yet no one was listening.

Julian provides many answers to the questions many of have about how we can be heard and not become the background music to someone else’s world.

It seemed to me that multiple individuals in the crowed felt awkward and they didn’t seem to enjoy this part of his speech. Julian seems like a very educated speaker and I felt as though he should walk his points rather than stand statue still from the waist down. I also thought if he worked to keep his hands near his sides, when they aren’t needed for gestures, would help in his pursuit to create a relationship with the audience, instead of closing them off. For his power point descension, I would’ve tried to keep my slides all the same darker theme, and add more emphasis in his own voice to make it clear what is right and wrong.
Julian presented many tips that could potentially help anyone who’s trying to advance their speaking skills. He talks about the seven deadly sins of speaking which are gossip, negativity, complaining, excuses, penultimate and dogmatism. I will try my best to stray as far away as possible from these “sins.” I also agreed with his acronym HAIL, which encompassed the words honesty, authenticity, integrity and love. I really like the authenticity part of this, it seems to me that when many new people, including me, are put into the arena of public speaking it becomes a defense mechanism to be someone we are not. I think it is important for me to remember to be myself when I’m giving
“Can you live in that moment, as best as you can, with clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in your heart? If you can do that gentlemen then you’re perfect.” Doesn't take much dose it? This speech has so much meaning and and purpose behind it.
Once again his overall posture and confident level was excellent. The speaker shows passion for the subject he is speaking on from the hand movements when he speaks on poverty and domestic abuse as being trivial (a means to an end). The speakers volume was just right he spoke high enough for the back of the room could here, and the speech was easy to understand. When given a speech a speaker should consider his audience in the wording of his speech, is he giving a speech to children for educational purposes or a group of college students, this is call no one left behind so the entire audience is on track.
He explains that the world isn't perfect and that is true because there are people that want to see you do nothing but fail. Failing is hard and painful, but trying over and over, and eventually succeeding, feels even better. At the beginning of his speech he seems a little harsh because he wants to get his point across, but at the end of his speech he lightens up. He does this because he doesn’t want his son to think he is being hard on him, he just wants his son to know he understands what he is going through.

In chapter 11 of the Communication in a Civil Society, the book introduces readers to different ways to prepare a civil public speech. The chapter explains everything ranging from how to come up with ideas for your speech to how to deliver it effectively. Having read this chapter before I proceeded on doing my Speed Introduction Speech, helped me tremendously on what messages I should be communicating in my speech, which is the part that I have struggled the most in all of my writing and speech assignments. Furthermore, the book tell us that a specific speech statement is important because it will help us narrow down to the essential topics that need to be in the speech. With this knowledge in mind, I wrote down topics that will help introduce

Though primarily a model for sermons, with minor alterations, Stanley’s technique can serve effectively as a template for persuasive speeches in general. Stanley’s method, designated the “ME, WE, GOD, YOU, WE” method, begins with the speaker establishing a rapport with the audience (Stanley, 120). In order for the speaker to convey his or her message with the greatest impact, he or she must first gain the trust of the audience. Stanley, as a pastor, achieves this by admitting an area of struggle in his own life, cultivating the assumption that the majority will relate, creating common ground and introducing the topic of the speech simultaneously. Next, the speaker explicitly relates his or her experience to the experience of the audience, which reinforces their trust of the individual. Having universalized the problem and created an attitude of anticipation with the audience, the speaker can now introduce the solution through the text. With the context already established, the speaker need not dive too deeply into the text, just relate enough to elaborate on in the next phase. In the “YOU” phase, it is the responsibility of the speaker to answer the questions of “so what?” and “what now?” The speaker, having introduced the solution, must now explain it to the audience, in a way that relates to their experience. This is done in order to ensure
During the speech, I was also a good speaker in many ways. I had a good voice projection, my hand moment was consistent, I was always facing the audience and held eye contact, and had facial expressions to emphasize the importance of a topic. Right off the bat when I was explaining my citation saying According to the U.S Census Bureau “there are alone 5.7% Asian’s in the United States,” I was pointing my hands to make sure everyone was paying attention to the numbers. Another thing I did well during the speech was, that I kept eye contact with everyone during the speech

Being in a crowded area, and someone giving a speech and all we can think is what is the point of this speech? Or who is this speech for? Many Kenyon graduates, of the year 2005, can relate when they were listening to David Foster Wallace in their commencement speech. Many people can agree that the last thing these graduates want to do is to be in this really long ceremony before they can go on and start their lives with whatever career they decided to study. Wallace does not only make a really good speech to capture his audience attention, but he does it in a really unique professional way. When it comes to speech pathos, logos, and ethos is very important and each one of those things need to be in the speech in order
A life coach , and counselor , Laura trice, in her Ted Talk, “Remember to Say Thank You” Advocates that individuals should “Praise each other” in order to create more self confidence and create less neglection. Trice uses the combination such as the use of theoretical questions, anaphora, personal stories, in order to help convey her message with the use of a tranquil and very optimistic tone to help inspire others to learn to praise one another.
The speaker made direct eye contact at all times unless his head was moving to place emphasis on what he was saying. Further, the speaker spoke loud enough to be heard and did not require me to turn my volume up super high while struggling to hear him. Additionally, the speaker utilized a good pace. He moved slow enough for me to comprehend everything he was telling me but fast enough so that I did not get bored and distracted. Finally, the speaker alternated his pitch throughout the speech which kept my attention. Overall, besides the previously addressed issues, the delivery of the speech was great! I would, however, suggest having more time of the speech spent face to face with the speaker for a more powerful speech.
Tricer’s begin her TED talk by defining that individuals should ask for praise by understanding how to ask. She appeals the emotion of the audience by expressing her experience. Trice’s does a lot of repetition to kindly share how to ask for praise. The outgoing author conveys the audiences with her tone for the audience and herself could understand.
After watching Julian Treasures speech I instantly noticed he used pictures of people making expressions on the topics that he talked about. For instance he used a picture of a woman whispering in a mans ear when he brought up the topic of gossip. I feel like his delivery technique was extemporaneous because he knew and hit the main points which flowed with his visual aids, but he improvised by getting the audience to stand up and do warm up exercises with him The visual aid that stood out the most to me was when he did his warm up, he incorporated what he does before he speaks with his audience. My next speech will be about voting. With the upcoming presidential election I may just dress up as one of the canidates and use personal appearance
