Response to TED Talks: Ryan Holladay: To hear this music you have to be there. Literally

The TED Talks speech that I chose to watch and analyze was “Ryan Holladay: To hear this music you have to be there. Literally”. The reason that I chose this particular speech is because I am a huge fan on music and I am always so interested in hearing things about the music industry and new ideas that people have.  I think overall Ryan Holladay did a wonderful job delivering his speech to his audience. I could tell that he was very well educated on his topic and did his research. On top of that one could also sense the passion that he had for art and music which made the speech even more interesting to watch. I think the visuals that he used in his speech were perfect in supporting what he was talking about and helped me envision the ideas that he had much better. While he delivered the speech well and had good projection, his tone was a tad dull which could lead some people to lose interest in what he is talking about. Ryan seemed to be very comfortable on stage but he used his hands a lot when he spoke which was distracting at certain points of the speech. Ryan’s pace was perfect, not too rushed and easy to follow. This helped with understanding exactly what was going on and being able to understand everything he said so that I was left with fewer questions than if I wasn’t able to focus on what he was saying. After watching the speech I felt that I had a better idea of how to effectively deliver a speech but I also took some of the ineffective things that Ryan did to make a note for myself to try and avoid as much as possible.
