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

A.
 Reggie Watts, b. March 23, 1972. in StuttgartGermany. 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.

BEthos 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.

 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
