Robert Gupta Between music and medicine

Jonathan Hammock_Public Speaking 1211

THESIS:

The thesis of Roberts presentation was how the beauty of music has the ability to heal and to speak where words fail.

• To capture the audience attention, Robert started off the presentation by playing his violin

• Robert kept the audience focus by telling some of his personal stories. He used his humor to keep the attention of the audience’s. He also emphasized on the healing power of music, and totally surprising the audience by playing his violin for the second time.

• Robert used the fourth TED commandment, his speech was mostly on his life stories that helped him chose his path as a musician and a doctor.

FOR DYNAMISM, I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE BETWEEN MUSIC AND MEDICINE A FIVE!!

Robert Gupta was very well spoken and showed his passions to the audience with his humor and story telling. Also showing off his violin skills made the presentation feel much realer and what made it interesting.

Tips by Nancy Duarte, Robert was able to keep the first and second rule in mind. He was able to treat the audience as king and spread is ideas to move people. He showed his passion for music by playing the violin for the audience.

I learned from this presentation that well spoken life stories that other people can relate to can help bring you presentation together.

Also having a personal story can help you ground the speech. Robert talked about the hard chose he had to make, ether to become a doctor or a musician. Every one has to make rough choces so a topic like that would be easier for the audience to relate.

Similarities:

The similarites of Sir ken Robinson and Robert Gupta are the way they both give personal and life lessons for examples to catch the attention of the audience.

The Differences:

Robert Gupta spoke on a more emotional level talking about his personal experience as a musician and the hard choses he had to make along the way. Sir Ken Robinson spoke more from a objective view with cold hard facts.

SOME TIPS ON SPEECH DELIVERY

Believe in yourself and what you have to say. If the people see how passionate you are about what you have to say, then people will listen.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE AND USE SOME HUMOR!!!!
