What do you want, BOOs or Claps?

In my opinion, a good TED Talk needs to have pictures. It needs to not be boring and make me fall asleep. It needs to not be long and unentertaining. A good ted talk needs to be short, meaningful and have lots of pictures, as well as making it interesting. In order for a TED Talk to be good in needs to be short. People listening will get bored and tired and start to loose track of what you are saying. They will loos their patience and start to get bored, and that is not what you want. A good TED talk needs to have pictures. It needs to have a lot of colorful pictures and have fun and entertaining things. People now a days have smaller attention spans and so we need to keep them interested in what we are trying to say. In order for a good TED talk the writer, needs to open with a bang and keep that bang going and end on a bang. Their goal is to encourage us to listen to what they have to say and in my opinion in order for them to do that, you need to make your presentation, fun,colorful, short and don't use big words. Some other key points are to move around the stage. You also need to not read from the podium. When you read from a piece of paper people see you as less interested and you are just reading it and you don't care about it. Another thing is to speak slowly and clearly, a lot of people get nervous and start to stutter or shake or speak fast and that causes them to mess up and people to loose interest. You want to speak slowly and clearly. Some other important things to make sure and double check when doing a TED talk is to have a backup plan or computer incase the first one dies. You would also want to have it in many locations, such as a flash drive, in your email, in your cloud and even burned to a CD if you have to. You always want to make sure you have a spare incase something goes wrong and double check your presentation, make sure it is all in order. Another thing is to practice your speech, practice your time, your breaths. Practice how you are going to say it and produce it, are you going to move around and use hand jesters. One last important thing is to make sure you have your microphone and make sure it is positioned just right for the audience can hear your voice. The last thing to having a good TED talk is to stay relax, do your best and have fun.
