TRANSCRIPT

The speaker I chose is Beau Lotto. The thesis of his speech was that things are not always what they seem. Not only does he demonstrate this through color, but also through sound, and thus reality.

Beau Lotto is a neuroscientist and owner of Lottolab. He uses honeybees, colors, and optical illusions to help understand the world.

These are a few of Beau Lotto’s most famous quotes:“The best questions are the ones that create the most uncertainty.”“Play is one of the only human endeavors where uncertainty is actually celebrated. Uncertainty is what makes play fun.”

Look at the chart and say the color, not the word.

Your Right brain tries to say the color but your left brain insists on reading the word

Lotto captured the audiences attention in his introduction, by showing an optical illusion. He challenged the audience with a question that seemed so simple but unless, you looked deeply it was difficult to answer correctly. He started his speech by asking them if they could tell which colors were the same on the board on both the right and left side. He engaged the audience making his introduction, fun and not boring.

Lotto maintains the engagement of the audience through keeping his slides fun, but still informative. The way he presented his subject matter also helped to maintain his audience, he did not just talk and talk about the technical aspects of the brain, but he gave examples of it. Furthermore, he ended his speech by leaving a thought/wonder in the audience’s mind.

In terms of dynamism I believe Lotto deserves a 5. His speech was very energetic, exciting, interesting, and informative. You could see that he really was interested in his topic. Instead of having his nerves bring down his speech, he used this to push his presentation. He also had a variety of different visual aids that helped to captivate the audience and make his presentation fun. Most importantly he interacted with the audience by asking them questions, and having them answer with hand raises; this tactic was very successful and also very smart.

I have learned many things from Lotto’s presentation. I have discovered the importance of visual aids and how they can help maintain your audience’s attention and interest. How these aids can help the audience remember more. How interaction between the audience and the speaker will help to calm a speaker down, and help those “butterflies” disappear. Most importantly, I learned that just shooting out information is not too helpful to the audience.

Some tips used from Garr Reynolds and Nancy Duarte, that were used in Beau Lotto’s presentation would have to be there was humorinvolved, imagery, and a ton of visual aids that helped to improve the presentation.

The main differences between Sir Ken Robinson presentation and Beau Lotto would have to be the interaction between the audience and the speaker. While Robinson’s presentation was informative he did not interact with the audience like Lotto by asking the audience questions and having them answer them.

Also Beau Lotto’s speech did not have such an urgent message as Sir Ken Robinson’s do. Lotto was trying to teach the perception of the brain. Robinson’s speech had a call to action.

Some tips I would recommend for my classmates would be to include a lot of visual aids in their presentations, interactwith the audience, make it fun, and just practice your speeches over and over.
