The goal of this assignment is to further deepen the knowledge acquired in class this semester in producing an effective speech presentation, please include the following criteria as a comment to this blog before our next class meeting
Find a clip of a presenter (celebrity, athlete, politician, etc.) on Youtube or some other video outlet available to you on the Internet, and evaluate why you feel he or she makes an impact on you through his/her speech. You can use the feedback form you will be using to evaluate your peer's presentation next week as a reference for what to look for in this review. This presenter can be making a speech, giving an interview or in a film as a character who makes an impact on you. The clip should not be more than two minutes (it is just a small part of the whole presentation). Place the url address of the link in the blog for me and your peers to look at as they review your posting. Additionally, be prepared to share why you chose this person in our class meeting on Monday. As stated, you can use Youtube, news site (CNN.com, msnbc.msn.com) live.com/video, TED Talks site or some other video sharing location on the web.

For this blog, I have chosen a clip from 2008's blockbuster hit "The Dark Knight." Heath Ledger gives a spectacularly sinister and epic performance as "The Joker." In this scene, the Joker, a freak to the public, identifies our worst fears and gives the audience a disturbing view of humanity. Ledger's portrayal of this legendary villain is beyond exceptional. We forget that we are watching the late Heath Ledger and fall into the Joker's evil, insane, corrupt, and psychotic spell.

This you tube video highlights Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican National Convention. Sarah Palin is an incredible speaker who wowed audiences with her poise, humor, and delivery. She takes appropriately long pauses, doesn't stutter, poses scenarios and then delivers her rebuttal. She deals with rumors appropriately and with class. Her personality really comes through in her speech. She's funny and easy to relate to. She is able to address serious issues clearly so that the listener can really understand her point of view. Overall, I feel that she is an excellent speaker that is able to capture the listeners attention.

For the public speaker I admire most, I chose Stephen Colbert. The reason I chose him was because of his ability to say one thing, and by the tone and infliction of his voice, convey a completely different meaning. He does this by speaking about a topic in a way that makes his points seem so sarcastic, he is actually making fun of it. I admire this because he has such a full knowledge of how to speak in front of an audience, he can get his point across without saying what he really thinks. By agreeing with obvious faults or inadequate facts, the audience is given a different perspective on each topic. Although I do not always agree with his opinions or stances on particular topics, I admire the way he presents them.

This is a clip of a famous musical artist, scientist, and professor, Greg Graffin. In this short clip he answers the question how he balances his musical and academic careers. He answers using a Shakespearean quote and his personal philosophy of teaching as a form of performance.
