Hillary Jones This clip illustrates the dangers of stereotyping when adapting to an audience based on demographics. It's a clip from NBC's The Office.

 

Include your links below:

 

Mark Stankiewicz added this clip to give you a tutorial on how to use the PB WIKI program.

 

Ryan Aukerman This clip includes a step-bystep process of how to use Turninitin. The clip comes from Turnitin.com and can be a great help.

 

Ryan Aukerman This clip from YouTube is basically a broader overview of the problem solving steps, much like what we did in class. The basic steps of problem solving shown here can be very necessary to follow in any problematic situation, just as it teaches us in our reading's.

 

Ryan Aukerman This clip illustrates the use of the communication model. The puppets are the messengers in the model and notice the channels, interferences, etc that they use in their storyline. This clip comes from YouTube and is a humorous, but interesting look at communication.

 

Sam Kline added these clips that he though represented a good informative speech.

great speach I think that this speech represents a lot of what an amazing informative speaker should sound like.

 

Sam Kline added this speech which is from South Park, and it shows a clear and well thought out speech, with examples, and it clearly outlines an entire sequence. Kartmen gets revenge!

 

Sam Kline added this speech from the movie Wedding Crashers. In this scene, two characters are discussing a wedding speech and this clip shows the difference between a good Occasion Speech and a bad one. Fast forward to 4:39. Crickets Speech

 

Katie HuberThis  clip the music video of Beautiful Liar by Beyonce and Shakira, shows a great example of an introduction. They capture the audience's attention by the wierd fog thing, and then they state their purpose which is 'nobody likes to be played.' They also introduce themselves by singing their names. The transition into the actual song is when Beyonce says 'hey' as the musics changes and she becomes clear in the fog. The video takes off from there. This music video provides an example of an effective introduction.

 

Caitlin Burnham added this humorous clip from The Office demonstrates an attention getting start to a speech.

 

Caitlin Burnham added this clip because it gives good tips on diaphragm breathing so none of us pass out during our speeches!

 

Caitlin Burnham added this clip from The Office because it shows what not to do when using visual aids.  Michael is supposed to be giving sales reports but decides to take things in his own direction...

 

Mark Stankiewicz added this clip because it is one of the best speeches of all time, but most likely won't count as one of the three he needed. Jimmy V brings a tear to most eyes in the crowd with a lot of emotion.

 

Joe Kincel added this clip of the inspirational speech from Independence Day. He grabs the attention of the soldiers by stating the importance of the situation and what will happen.

 

Katie Castellano added this clip from YouTube which is from the television show Friends.  It shows Joey giving a toast and saying what his emotions are and than acting them out.  When you give a speech you should be more discrete and not have to tell your audience what emotion you are feeling.

 

Katie Castellano added this clip from YouTube.  The first ten seconds of this clip show Addison, from Greys Anatomy, practing her speech in front of a mirror.  It's always good to practice your speech in front of an audience, and if theres no audience a mirror works just as good!

 

Katie Castellano added this clip from YouTube.  It is from the movie "Remember the Titans" when the coach gives an inspiring speech to the players at Gettysburgh.  It catches all of their attention from the beginning.  The players are tired and out of breathe but they all turn their attention to the coach.  I feel like this is a great and inspiring speech.

 

Lisa Nemiroff added this clip http://youtube.com/watch?v=P2yvpOHuvZA&mode=related&search=

which is a man who explains way for the get rid of stage fright in six steps

 

Mark Stankiewicz added this clip. It is an example of a memorable speech by Gene Hackman in the movie "Hoosiers." This is the Regional Finals. It brings out the emotions of the players with some good Pathos. It prepares them for the game.

 

Jennifer Martin added this clip because the man being interview really knows what he's talking about when it comes to overcoming a fear of public speaking. The most interesting thing he mentioned is that people tend to just get nervous simply because they expect themselves to because society says you should be nervous in big groups of people.

 

Lauren Grimes added this clip from Monty Python's Flying Circus. In this clip David Thomas is interviewing for a job where the boss is completely joking around with him. This shows the worst example of a job interview, although it is deliberately trying to be funny.

 

Lauren Grimes added this clip about "How to Break Up." It is an illustration that takes you step-by-step for how to break up with someone and what people go through during that time. Very funny!

 

Lauren Grimes added this clip "Great Moments In Presidential Speeches Compilation" which starts off with monumental speeches in history and moves on to the rediculous things President Bush has said. This clips show things not to do and not to say when giving a speech to anyone, especially the United States public.

 

Joe Kincel added this clip from the 2005 film V for Vendetta. He starts his speech by "referring to the speech situation" and the exigence that caused him to make this announcement about his plans. He proceeds to ask a rhetorical question about the countries present state and proposes a change.

 

Kara Warr added this clip from the movie Tommy Boy. It is a audio clip not a video clip. It is at the end of the movie when Tommy is making a speech to the company. This demonstrates the language that SHOULD NOT be used when speaking to co-workers.

 

Joe Kincel added this clip of President John F. Kennedy giving a speech in West Berlin. He clearly adapts to his audience by speaking the native language at the beginning of his speech.

 

Ryan Staloff added this clip of the infamous Herman Edwards "we play to win the game speech." He uses great hand and head gestures to show his emotion and get his point across. He is also very conversational in tone and clearly adapts the audience.

 

Jennifer Martin added this clip of Maddon's music video for "What it feels like for a girl" because the lyrics talk about the gender roles and their stereotypes.

 

Jennifer Martin added this clip of an extremely campy "gameshow" where students have to come up with thesis statements. Although its cheesy, the points made by the host at the end are good sugestions for writing a thesis.

 

Brielle Colby added this clip of a delivery that is way too fast.

 

Brielle Colby added this clip of a speech that uses great language and wording. Jen really pulls at your heart strings during this speech.'

 

Brielle Colby added this clip because it shows some people perceptions of homosexuals. It also is an example of language that is allowed to be said by some people and others the language is off limits to.

 

Danielle Krueger added this clip of Chris Farley playing Matt Foley (for SNL,) a motivational speaker. Although Matt had a strong delivery, this persuasive speech shows how you can use volume to get your point accross.

 

Danielle Krueger added this clip of a sportscaster giving the latest news. This is an example of poor delivery and sloppy vocal fillers. Once the sportscaster gets flustered and realizes how bad he's doing, it almost gets hard to watch.

 

Danielle Krueger added this clip of Ashley from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air saying grace because it is a great example of an attention grabber, although it was not an appropriate prayer for the audience.

 

Chelsea Levine -- This clip can be found on this website (http://tv-links.co.uk/show.do/1/5355). It is a Sex and the City episode, season 6 titled An American Girl in Paris: Part Une. Fast forward to the time 25:35 where you will see the character Samantha giving a speech at a breast cancer benefit. While the sweating and hair fixing are good examples of what to avoid when giving a speech, Samantha also effectively relates to her audience, gaining their attention and respect.

 

Chelsea Levine -- The first scene in the theatrical trailer for clueless is Cher giving a speech in her debate class. An example of horrible audience engagement and using the word "like" as a vocal filler way too much. http://youtube.com/watch?v=sFR9TNsByLk

 

Chelsea Levine - language choice, enough said. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VqB78xJd3KI <-- Borat.

 

Katie Huber This clip shows an effective use of a visual aid in an unusual setting. The coach is faced with the challenge of getting his team fired up to play after a big loss the previous week. He uses his powerful speaking skills with a demoralizing video to capture his team's attention. The video emphasizes his point that they played poorly the previous week and needed to regain their Pride. His destruction of the tape at the end of the speech visually shows that the team needs to erase last week's memory and move on to future goals, like winning and regaining respect in the community.

 

Lisa Nemiroff-This is a hillarious clip on a speech cartmen gives that he hasn't thought about not hurting his audiences's feelings. He also didn't have facts that were very accurate...Basically cartmen's speech is an example on how NOT TO give a speech

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WCN2yRB0-8Q

 

Lisa Nemiroff- Borat is trying to figure out how to give a good speech to the Oklamhome Republic. He makes his audience do a moment o silence which is a little to long, but also he is very innapropriate and uses things that offend most of his audience and makes them feel very uncomfortable

http://youtube.com/watch?v=4ePAxYw4IUo

 

Kelsie Biehn-Only part of this clip is what I was looking for so disregard the rest.  The clip is from Wedding Crashers like Brielle's but it's when Rachel Mcadams is giving her maid of honor speech, and at first she tried to make a joke but it wasn't the type of atmosphere to use comedy when her audience is expecting a more emotional speech.  So when she realizes that her audience weren't responding to the comedy she switches her emotion to more sentimental and see's her audience become more responsive and interested.  I thought that this clip was a perfect example of how a speaker is suppose to relate to the audience and evoke a certian emotion from them depending on what your setting is and what your topic is about.

 

Kelsie Biehn-I was told that I had this problem in my informational speech, which was talking to fast.  Hopefully in my policy speech I improved on it but in this clip is a demonstation of a man talking entirely to fast making it very difficult to even understand what he is saying. 

 

Kelsie Biehn-If you disregard the subtitles this clip is a good example of someone who is unprepared for their speech, she uses a lot of fillers like um and like.

 

Aimee Carricato - This first clip is an example of using too many rhetorical questions that do not connect to the audience in anyway. This next clip shows how your body language can be portrayed by your audience, and teaches you to read how people are acting. My third clip from Grey's Anatomy is Meredith using a speech to persuade McDreamy to ultimately choose her.

 

Ryan Aukerman This Clip is an example of how to use pathos. Britney Spears recovers a Pepsi commertial from the 1950's and it can be very nostalgic for some. The nostalgia is a good way to connect to an audience. Britney Spears is also an idol for some people of her generation, in which grabs two audiences at once. The clip is hosted by YouTube.

 

Alan McBride This speaker in this clip is performing a monolgoue from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is important to notice his presence and how he pronunciates certain words, which at some points creats a strong dramatic delivery. Also look at his hand motions and overall movements which add to the message he is trying to evoke.

 

Matt Kujava - This clip shows boomhauer from the tv show King of the Hill and he talks very fast and very unclear.  Something that we should never do in any of our speeches.

 

Matt Kujava - this clip is from SNL and it is of Eddie Murphy going undercover as a white person.  It is very good criticism of whiteness and it plays into many sterotypes.

 

Matt Kujava - This clip is from V for Vandetta and it is the best example of how to use alliteration.

 

Ryan Staloff- This clip is from a Budweiser commercial.  It does a great job in showing a flawed delivery in which the speaker's rate is way too fast. It also makes a mockery of an occasional speech situation that the priest gives in a wedding.

 

Kara Warr- this clip demonstrates the use of pathos in the advertising world. Coca-cola is trying to make the african american community feel emotional about how far they've come and that coca-cola has always been right there with them.

 

Tamar Brill-  The top 5 candidates of the Miss Universe 2007 Pageant answer questions from a celebrity panel.  Question and Answer sessions are a traditional judging round used in pageant competitions. Although 4 out of the 5 contestants speak different languages, an audience member can still judge the contestant by her confidence, poise, eye contact, and enthusiastic attitude.  Some of the contestants, more than others, serve as a great example of a polished speech.  Despite the language barrier, it is obvious which contestants are more experienced and natural public speakers.

 

Tamar Brill- Sex & the City reinforces sterotypes of Homosexual flamboyant behaviors.  The three main homosexual characters persent throughout the serise are Anthony, Stanford, and Marcus. The clip reveals homosexuals as colorfully dressed, overly emotional, and sexual.  This is evidenced by Stanford and Marcus' plans to attend a Gay & Lesbian adult "Prom."  The male homosexual couple are also proud members of the decorating committee for the event.  Anthony also brings up a controversial issue relating to wheather homosexuals are born homosexual, or are influenced by later experiences. 

 

Tamar Brill- This clip highlights President Bush's numerous public speaking errors.  His errors demonstrate the importance of being familar with the material before giving a speech.  It is truely amazing how the mispronunciation or a single word choice can alter the entire impact of a speech. With that, we can not underestimate Bush's experience in public speaking.  Despite Bush's infamous flaws in several speeches, he has presented many memorable speeches throughout his term.

 

Kara Warr-This clip shows different facial expressions and how they are important. Facial expressions are very valuable to a speaker when he or she is giving a speech.

 

Katie Huber This clip from Animal House shows a great example of a persuasive speech.  Bluto does a fabulous job of identifying the problem, which is that the brothers were giving up when their house was being taken away from them.  He then provides a very motivational speech saying why they can't give up.  He uses good inflection and pitch and is clearly passionate about his topic.  He has great audience adaptation with his language choice and by asking what happened to the Delta he used to know.  Also, he is convincing considering the end of the clip shows all of the brothers agreeing with him and running out of the house to change the situation, which shows the "action" step of a good speech.   

 

Jesse Weidner  This clip from Family Guy illustrates how one can easily be distracted by making a mistake or laughter.  Osama's speech loses all credibility and he is no longer able to make his point because of distractions.  Nobody, including us, can take him seriously now.

 

Jesse Weidner This clip from Office Space shows Joanna's boss giving her a talk about her "flair."  The boss does a terrible job relating to his audience, in this case Joanna, and fails to get his point across in an effective way.  The speaker has to make the audience feel comfortable and included and this clip illustrates the reaction if the speaker fails.

 

Jesse Weidner This clip from Anchor Man shows how when you are unprepared to speak, things can go badly wrong.  Ron goes into the situation not knowing what to say and he ends up getting himself deeper and deeper into trouble the more he speaks.  It is essential to be prepared and have a plan to get back on track when something goes wrong.  It is quite noticable that he is struggling as he goes on, and the audience loses interest, giving up on the speaker.

 

Ryan Staloff- This clip shows that no matter how prepared you are to give a ceremonial speech, emotions can always get the best of you.  The pathos is very strong in this speech and makes everyone, including himself, very emotional. Michael has gone through a lot of bad times in his life and it all built up in this speech.  His ethos is also strong in this speech by default as he is being inducted into the hall of fame.

 

Eric Chesen-This clip shows an inspirational speech and demonstrates how to use personal experience to make your speech more effective on your audience. Al Pacino uses very good Pathos because he exerts his emotions on his players as well as getting everyone in the room emotional about what he is talking about.

 

 Ashley NoceraThis clip illustrates the importance of "attention getters" in public speaking because they grab your audiences attention and focus, and they let your audience know what you will be talking about right away

 

Ashley Nocera  This clip is a great example of a creative attention getter, a very organized and outlined persuasive speech with great eye contact and body language.

 

Ashley Nocera  This clip is an AMAZING use of visual aids that help tell a story without being distracting

 

Natalie Wetherell. This  http://youtube.com/watch?v=pRFBLeGLDmc clip is a speech given at the OC graduation by Taylor Townsend and demonstrates the use of an attenion getter and excellent transitions.

 

Natalie Wetherell. This clip http://youtube.com/watch?v=gOziJi-1hHE is of Blue October's Hate Me Video. In this video, there is an introduction and then a bridge where the tone changes an the music beings.

 

Natalie Wetherell. This clip of a talking point by host Bill O'Reilly is an excellent example of a Problem Solution speech. He begins his talking point with an attention getter, emotional appealr, audience adaptation and finalyl thesis. He explains the scenario of a dangerous child predator and gives suggestions to solve this problem. He includes a visual aid which represents the problem with judges who do not give strict enough punishments.

 

Alan McBride- This clip promotes great uses for visual aids. It depicts a man talking about visuals he sets up for young children to learn about the Bible and how it is important to grab their attention.

 

Alan McBride- This clip from Seinfeld depicts Elaine leading a toast in front of a group of people. It is a short, humorous toast and shows one what not to do when giving one and also afterward when she breaks into dance. Notice the reaction to the people in the audience.

 

Eric Chesen- This clip goes down as the most inspiring and moving speech in the history of public speaking and stands out to me because it shows a man, in Martin Luther King Jr., standing up for what he believes in which is a similar trait to myself.

 

Eric Chesen-added this clip because it is a mix of showing what a tyrant ruler speaks like to his people, and a funny satire of a serious ruler.
