The Significance of TED

TED is a website known for its ingenious speakers of several topics. Therefore, we can learn very much from these absolutely brilliant speakers. They tend to vary their tone and speak very naturally in all of their speeches. With "TED speaking" to consider, hopefully we can learn very much about how to speak in front of thousands of people. Malcolm Gladwell for an example, is one of the brilliant speakers, he talks with a naturally flowing voice and speaks with various intonations. How he does this is by simply speaking like he is actually discussing with the audience. He is also a humorous person and uses hand gestures beautifully. Although I notice that he makes a few mistakes and says "uh" or "um" sometimes, he quickly goes back to the topic right after he apologizes. That is something that I should keep in mind. I also need to learn from Arthur Benjamin which is also a great speaker that interacts with the audience. He asks for volunteers and chooses his volunteers. Hopefully I would not need any volunteers, but when I do, I would ace interactions due to learning from him. TED is a wonderful website filled with intelligence and education.
