TED talks 2 Reggie Watts "disorients you in the most entertaining way."

A.
 Reggie Watts, b. March 23, 1972. in Stuttgart, Germany. He is a Musician,and comedian Watts is currently in the middle of a spring tour. As stated of his website http://reggiewatts.com/ . I first heard of Reggie Watts from the Comedy Central show Key & Peele, where he created the sketch comedy show's theme song.

B.
 I was unable to find any pathos, mythos, or logo in his presentation. it wasn't not explain anything on what he was demonstrating with repetition of music. With synthesize tuning of vocals he mostly shows his talent for musical art to help expand the possibility the auto tune has placed of the music industry, but i feel as if that is just my interpretation on this matter. He might of explained the the message or purpose of his Ted talk but he was Speaking a foreign dialect that was not translated by subtitles.
 B2.
Ethos: The Speaker has creditably with his message and he uses common sense to describe the perception of our own reality. It sent out the positive rapport on the audience through sound. This is best realized when listening to the vocalicty alone without view the presenter to comprehend the excellence.

C
 Organization of the speech what is that, it was controlled chaos, from introduction in french to a soulful R&B ballet, then back to him explaining in what I shall call a British narrator like accent.

D.
Language element this is the unique part he seamlessly intertwined his robust British narrator voice with more street styles of his song outburst.
D2 Watts did not use visual aids.

E.
I think his Preformance was much Practice along with his musical standup comedy tour, he did not use a manuscript it was impromptu by he knew what is was that he was going to do and did it how he planned.
E2.
He kept with the flow and he was not static, but he always stayed within the vicinity of his voice synthesizer.
 E3 Thin Falling Afro and full beard and a mossy green sweat shirt. Leading to expect a light  fun ted talks video. and it fit the vibe of the speaker presentation style.
E4
Voice was the KEY component to his speech, everything was about sound and distorting it.
F . Audience feedback was very positive many viewer saying that they had to watch it again, because it is simply a talk that was made to not be understood.
G
I Enjoyed the speech and the presenter very much that i even went as fare as to search for his stand up special just so i can view his comedic style.

Living Life Biblically Forum

A. Arnold Steven Jacobs, born March 20th 1968, in New York City, Ny. he is an editor at Esquire magazine and the writer of 3 New York Times Best Sellers The Know-It-All, The Year of Living Biblically, and My Life as an Experiment.

B2 Ethos the speaker was well know for his speeches on his radical life "Quests" the speaker did not demonstrate intelligence nor good taste, and I'm doubting on common sense. Because most the things in which he told were on the same level of a book report or summary of what he wrote. he seemed taken aback with some of the questions from the crowd, as they quoted his book and asked for clarification of his messages from his year of living biblically.  

B4. The Entire speech was based on a religious cultural perspective. making the overall presentation seem like a repeating record.  It just kept looping back into how he followed most of the Bible as strictly as he could. 

C. His Speech relied on give and take, there was no order he just talked about some of the things he did while he was on his life quests. That's all he did and all he planned to do was answer questions about his life. going over the highlights of his biblical year.

D1 The Speaker used a street style of voice did not use any tone that demanded formalness. it was and hour long time spent of a man talking about his past as if it was a story we already know the plot of.

D2 Mr.Jacobs used a slide show type power point to move along his presentation so he could somehow move to a different topic he could boast about, without the audience's trigger. the images were mildly interesting drawing further attention away from the speaker. 

E1 The forum was given in an inpromtu format with now locked in course, and was much guided by pictures and the audience .
E2 the speaker was stiff and remained hidden behind the podium for the entire presentation. he was very much segregated from the audience.
E3 his appearance seemed business casual, a striped shirt how the audience responded i can not much tell because a majority of them viewed the prior forum that morning.
E4 I can not judge much on the audience's perception of the speaker, they did not telegraph their expressions. 

F the audience seemed to be able to take in some message that Jacobs was speaking about. weather it was from them reading his book prior to the lecture; or being genuinely  interested in the subject.

G  I was in no way wowed with his visual presence. I found his natural vocal tune and pitch to be unpleasant and difficult to listen to. I was very much displeased with the entire event that he was on stage. i would not say that i would not read his book, it seemed to be an intriguing autobiographic work. This presentation has entered into my top 10 disappointments of religion related professional speaking. I would not willingly view that again unless i was reassured of improvements.

Ted talk 1

A)  Ludwick Marishane: A Bath without  Water,  first sub-Saharan African to win global entrepreneurship award. founded Headboy industries with water-less bathing lotion; http://headboy.org/  

B:Main theme and central argument) Bathing Substitute lotion, one small idea to not take bathes to a new   cleaning substitute for places with scarce water.
1 Logos) the author used several basic statistic to help perceive the magnitude of people not being readily available to water and sanitation globally  and then focusing in more on Africa and south Africa, and people who become infected with Trachoma where 8 Million people  become visually impaired. 

2 Ethos) the speaker prior to this speech was given several awards for his invention and is considered on of the greatest young minds of the new decade. he is taking about a product he created so he should know the most about his own product. 

3 Pathos) He sent out emotion by having in his presentation talking about Thrachoma and how small village children can save 2 hours that the can now spent bettering themselves. showing the horrible results of lack in hygiene can cause and even lead to blindness and that it effect a approximately 8 million people in the world each year.

4 Mythos) this was unapparent in his speech.

C Organizational structure.) his story went in a chronological order explaining what is is that he did and why. it stat off with a back story to him and his friends sun bathing and they started talking about baths and so his journey began as he spent the next years researching on his Nokia phone.
what he spend his time on is talking about the why. 

D style of speech) he had a common style of talking like he personally knew the audience or was explaining it to one person as a story of how he became who is. it was very in formal but it's effectiveness came from the natural tone and comfort aspect of his speech.
d2, his presentation had several slides and picture to help the audience under stand the statistic or what ever he was talking about.
E delivery)  E1 none  feel like he has given this speech before it was not read and i don't think it was one of the other 2 so i assume he had the idea of his manuscript and went through improving at some moments.
E2 he walked around the stage somewhat interacting with the audience.
E3 he was south African 
E4 he was easily understand able with his accent and the language diffidence make some phrases seemed off but clearly it was just minor language or terminology differences.
F the audience seemed to enjoy hearing the speech and the great impact it had.
G) what i have learned from the speaker is for a strong speech you have to connect with the people and can't be up tight. i also want to simulate by haveing a topic that i at minimum care about 

"Panthera tigris can't Sleep" interpritation analysis

Interpretation of analysis Essay

       There are 12 steps to critically Analyze prior to preforming any interpretation these steps. these steps include A. the relationship, B. Conflict, C. The Moment before, D. Humor, E. Opposites, F. Discoveries, G. Importance, H. Communication, I. Find the Events, J. Place, K. Roles, And L. The Mystery. and with analyzing with there are 12 steps you will be able to understand the complexes of the story and be able to focus on you personal interpretation of the work.

A] What are relationships i believe that the relationship in a story is the way that the character within the world of the story interact with each other and how they would be perceived. this can fall into category that are direct like parent child, or things like person and a object or idea it more or less the the way, when, where , and how characters would interact with something else; whether its a parent a lamp or even a personification of their inner insanity.  in the story Tiger cant Sleep i see a relationship between a mental patient and his imaginary tiger that no one else can see hear or acknowledge. this character will be completely imaginary but extremely real to the story teller, protagonist, narrator, main character.

B] Conflict this doesn't need much explanation it is the issue the problem the part that make thing interesting, what is in the way of "normality". The conflict in this story is the severity of imagination causing his incarceration in a mental institution do to his "Tiger" in his what ever i feel it should be his "room","Closet" or even in his Pocket. (I really want the "tiger" to be in his pocket.)  and how it has persistently has disturbed his life enough for him to be considered insane.  and what he is fighting for is peace and quit when he sleeps and not to be interrupted with various disturbances.

C] The moment before, well this one is fun, 'Vincent" Caedis Tigris" Laeddis'-Protagonist , has begun telling his life story to a  journalist who is not sure if he is simply messing with them or if he is dead serious  about his inner vision of the tiger, where we come into the story it is fairly early into the story, back in his early child hood back when the imaginary tiger first emerges approx  25-30 years prior, as we can all assume things obviously increase in severity and violence when as he get older the tiger tells him to do thing horrible thing, which lead into his current situation. because we all know tigers are deadly creature and lead to him doing deadly thing under the tigers influence. That is what is basically happening.

D] Humor. i feel that the humor in the story is the fact that there is a tiger in his head, what humor that will be added due to my planed interpretation is the exaggeration of his explanation of his life story which will add some HaHa Humor to a unfortunate  life story.

E] Opposites. motivation is that he finally gets to tell his story on why he did what he did and have someone actually listen to him like he was more than a loon. He try to start off calm and normal, but rapidly gets over run with anger for this tiger, as he remembers how it ruined his life. and near the end he calms back down and starts laughing at his past  as he continues his story. so the opposites is normality mellowness anger loud extreme descriptions and back to calm then force happiness/laughter.

F] Discovery, this is the first time he is going to tell his story in entirety and the first time someone is listening to him. and that's what make this different because none has ever took time to listen for the explanation of his past action and now some one is and they're the first to do such.

G] Importance. he is telling his life so even he is going to take out the humdrumness and give the best parts that are significant, like the movie Forrest Gump, the whole movie is on that bus bench, but he tells his story right there with only the Highlights in his eye, and that is virtually what Vincent Is doing.

H] project myself into the life of Vincent Laeddis, and become him and you tone facial expression and force the emotion and make the audience feel what i want them to. to just forget that there the student for them to feel like the Journalist hearing it for the first time. for them to believe in Vincent as he is a man tortured by his excessive imagination. expressing him self heart to heart with another human being. 

I] Find the events, how can i convey this event without props, scenery, or wardrobes? by living it through voice, expression, and the magic of imagination.

J] Place the walls made of white painted bricks paint peeling and yellow from cigarettes 2 chairs and  a bolted down one of Vincent's arms chained to the chair Styrofoam cups of water water cooler in the corner stand with a verity of fruits and snacks, double sided mirror, 2 cameras on the the south east corner facing the door and one on the east north locked onto Vincent; and some really oddly placed painting of a flower pot on the back wall behind Vincent. non of this can known to audience but this is the world I'm placing Vincent into.

K] Roles. what Are Vincent Characteristics? abnormal, unique, vividly expressive, deep in thought. Autistic Gestures Mild to sever muscle spasm along the cranial and spinal area, this may account to lifted shoulder or other spastastic motion along those lines. vocal element voice should be variable to portray contrast with his inner emotion but remain relatively the same voice with just movement  not accent, sarcastic tones. he is the only character being represented in this scene.

L] Mystery, I want to know the Rest of his story of the past 25-30 years that lead up to this moment and what is going to continue to happen with him and the journalist.

 

analysis of Scott Woods's Six in the morning

Six in the morning. I don't think i'll have a neutral  view about this story. it describes the action of a man who's made mistakes returning to his home. what Scott Woods did was combine his voice within the story, he made the description seem real even though it was just a persona. the way he pronounced his word with care for the character he is portraying. using slang that is appropriate for his urban character and how it stays in that character view point, even when other characters are talking because it is the character explaining what the other characters are saying.

this poem was about who i assume a man mid twenties to early thirties. and hm seeing his grandma, even though he thinks every one in his family has shunned him because of his criminal past. the appropriateness of voice i could not tell if it was his own voice or a character voice he had created. this is a smoothness that i want to achieve in my preformed so that when i preform it feels as if i'm an telling a story of my life.

the character show an in deph look into the fictional characters life with the supporting speeches that lead up to the climax of the poem. that is something i found different than the other page meets stage i can interpret the rise ad fall of the action. it one of them that have a story that follow this curve. and use of the atomispshere and tone of voice that shows the hard exterior of his persona and the soft emotion that this person in feeling and how hard he's trying to be strong

he uses focus point thought the audience and doesn't say cemented in one position and let it smoothly flow though the story. the way he describes this just draws interest into the story unlike some of the other Page meet stage that lack emotion and were just spoken plain not tearing away at the listeners Psyche.
his tone was low and hushed in pitch but he didn't allow louder portion of the interaction to make him loss that hushed claiming effect even when the mood was anger because it meant to make the Lister pity him and the tone keep that aspect at a constant. when he speaks with his grandmother he doesn't change his voice to imitate her, i think this is 1 of 2 reason 1 he does not have a convincing grand ma voice or 2 he understands that the best way he can preform this piece is to maintain that one character and go though his thoughts of him realizing what it is his grandmother is telling him.

it keep its poetic aspec to it it may not of rhymed but it mantain a pattern with one word that appeared more than most "Smooth" and that describes the feel of this poem.and the phrases like ''cancers bullets....a hand made out of old newspaper...nurses lies for eyes...her pillow is the heaviest thing i ever held in my hands...and i keep that key in my pocket in case i ever come home."    this was the only story i written about for this assignment that brought out emotions in me that why i know I'm best in the way i mention it not only because it topic that i find relate able but because it is a style much like my own that I've been using since 7th grade for dramatic monologues

Analysis of Sarah Kay, Postcards

She had a raw performance that didn't focus on character voices exaggerated expression autistic gestures or any thing else she just went and completed an excellent interpretation of Post cards even though it was done in away that is somewhat traditional with the piece she developed her shown emotion and single character express so well that it made the storey come to life i could feel how she feel to receive  post cad how each one is treasured and how she ever so longs to respond to the sender but she doesn't know anything more than the words on a page. how even though all thee words nothing will happen nothing will change it will just  feel. it will feel like a Punch to the heart the climb of a coaster .

how even though it is unclear what was written you are able to experience in some way the feelings she in portraying to use and how she shows as if it was her and fall so deeply into her character. and how her movements aren't block or even noticeable but seem so natural i didn't even know she had hand movement in this clip.

what i learned from here is the example of KISS Keep it simple stupid. and not to go overboard with enthusiasm like many Donna Washington's films and that realistic motion is a key way of integrating most stories. and to focus on the story more than the supporting fluency of motion.
