Good Morning,

At the beginning of the drinking speech, the performance of acting as he was throwing up caught me attention. It made me wonder what in the world was he doing, so I found myself trying to pay close attention; at first. As he continued with his speech the long pauses between sentences sometimes words was irritating me & I lost interest very quick & was not paying attention to anything he said. His voice also seems monotone to me as well. One thing I took away from that speech was to make sure when it is my turn to speak, that I speak with a continuous flow; but not to fast, I do tend to speak fast.

I am not sure if anybody else had this problem, but when I went to watch the lighting speech, it was only 38 seconds long. I was only able to hear some of her introduction. It sounded like it could have been interesting, I had no idea there was a thing called light pollution.

Hi! I had the same reaction as you did when I watched the “Drinking” video. The guy going off camera to throw up was a real attention getter and I really liked that about his speech. But just like you, I lost interest as he continued because of the way he kept presenting his speech. It felt really uncomfortable and was distracting. For the second video, it was only 38 seconds for me as well. I think that is the entire length of the video clip since it pretty much covers her introduction. Too bad they cut that one off early because although she didn’t use shock and awe to get my attention, her overall presentation made me want to listen in more!
