#giving a speech

[csuitebitches]

Do you think you speak too fast/ too slow?

Here is what I learned from a speech coach.

warm up:

start this exercise by taking a deep breath and saying “aaaaah” - try to extend this to 30 seconds. Now if it doesn’t go till 30, that’s fine. Aim to work your way to that. If you can work it up to 30, go for 45/60 seconds. Do this 5 times.

next. Download an app called Metronome beats. It’s basically what singers/ musicians use for beats.

Settings: keep beats/bar as 1,

clicks/beats as 1

start at 90. It will start with a click sound and continue “beeping.”

Match your words to the beep. One beep = one word. Now slowly, increase the beat by 5 till you reach 110. Increase it at your own pace but try to spend at least 20 seconds on each number (90 for 20 seconds; 95 for 20; 100 for 20….) That’s when you stop.

either start by reading something out loud and matching the beat, or select a topic and speak freely.

do this every single day. This will help with your breath, if you’re speaking on a topic it will help you think better and improve over time. The best way to further complement this exercise is to improve your vocabulary. Try to learn 1-3 new words a day and incorporate it in your vocabulary.

This is a great tool to use when learning new languages too. You can practice your speaking skills and see how fast you can remember/ read words.

you need to listen to Bruce Springsteen’s live albums not just his studio stuff because his crowd work has three modes it’s either “Clarence you should walk me on a leash” or “one time I fell down the stairs and I still think about it….do you still think about it?” or “this songs for my dad who only loved me sort of which was worse than not at all. he’s not in the crowd tonight. or maybe he is. if you see him please god tell me.” and before anyone can react to any of that he’s hootin and hollerin and Clarence Clemons is doing things with a saxophone that are now illegal in more than 15 US states

#the descriptions of the people in tmagp 8 really were giving off an ai generated vibe to me so i tried to make them look like it too #like the whole bit about their speech being just meaningless noise. vague impressions of people but nonsensical once you look more closely #tmagp #the magnus protocol #illustration #tmagp 7 #tmagp 8 #fish art #tmagp title cards

eddie's wedding speech is like 'people always say to marry your best friend. well, unforntunately my husband's best friend is a lesbian, so he had to settle for second best' and steve is like ':/' in his sweet steve way but he finds it so funny too

As any self-respecting Zane stan, of course I've seen Decoded. And of course I loved the sweet but subtle character moment of him being bashful and awkward when Jay brought up the statue.

For the longest time, I've always interpreted this moment as Zane being his typical humble, bashful self. And while I'm sure that's true to an extent, recent events from Dragons Rising have led me to consider an alternative interpretation.

If I may bring your attention to this quote from DRpt2:

"Zane had impressive shoes to fill. No one could live up to him, maybe not even Zane himself."

I dunno. There's just something about the fact that Zane's own legacy has outgrown him, that he's overshadowed by the memory of his past self, that rather than a testament to the love his friends and community have for him he instead sees the statue as an insurmountable burden he can never hope to live up to...

Which brings me to yet another blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment from the Shadow of Ronin video game (I know it's canon-ness is debatable, but hear me out for a sec)

While everyone is gathered around Nya and speaking to Borg via hologram, Zane is...gone. He's off in the distance, standing at the base of his statue, just...staring at it.

God, and when you add this all up to Zane's Ice Emperor baggage...yeah.

#it does of course lead me to wonder about the scene in s4 #where everyone is trying to rally community support for the war effort #and zane gives his lil speech at the base of his own statue #id like to think zane had simply chosen to speak at the park only to discover 'oh hey weird theres a statue of me' #bc its not like anyone wouldve had the time or consideration to tell him about it considering everything else going on #that moment when youre trying to rally civilians to help you fight an army of snake warriors and you accidentally run into your own memoria #'well one of is is going to have to change :/' #ninjago #destiny post

#MEAN to him #dungeon meshi #very Laios to give a lengthy and heartfelt speech of appreciation to his friends right when theyre all in the middle of chewing their food

Love it when media portrays humanity as unbeatable simply because of how goddamn stubborn we are. Not because of our brains or technology or hardiness. No, we’re just thick headed bastards that don’t know when to give in.

#and its true #humans are pursuit predators #we took over partially because of our ability to track and wear out our prey by following them #by the way #this applies to any media with one of those ‘we cannot give up hope’ speeches #anyway #idk if this applies #but #humans are space orcs #maybe? #oh well #uhhh #humanity #yeah idk how to tag this #you should just revlog

i know insults are merthur's love language, i know that, but god if it still doesn't get me how both of them can make a scathing insult sound so goddamn tender. like, fuck, in the crystal cave when arthur gets hit by that arrow and merlin says: "listen to me, clotpole. i don't care if you die, there are plenty of other princes. you're not the only pompous, supercilious, condescending royal imbecile i could work for. the world is full of them. but i'm gonna give you one more chance." that's a love confession !!!

#sami rambles #colin morgan absolutely bodied that little speech like fuck #don't believe me go and give it a little watch #never have i heard a man down more bad than merlin listing off all of arthur's worst qualities #but he's MY pompous supercilious condescending royal imbecile #YOU FUCKING IDIOTS YOU'RE IN LOVE #bbc merlin #merlin bbc #merlin #merlin x arthur #arthur pendragon #merthur

[id: 10 gifs from season 2, episode 21 “the maquis part 2” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show commander benjamin sisko, and major kira nerys in sisko’s office.

1st & 2nd gif: sisko is standing inside his office, he talks to himself ““establish a dialogue.” what the hell does she think i've been trying to do?” kira comes into sisko’s office, she calls out to him, “commander.” but sisko picks up once more from where he stopped with his rhetorical question, “just because a group of people belong to the federation,”

3rd gif: the camera cuts to kira. sisko is still talking, “that does not mean that they are saints.” kira interrupts sisko, “excuse me.” but sisko asks her instead “do you know what the trouble is?” kira shakes her head before replying, “no.”

4th & 5th gif: the camera cuts back to sisko, who walks from behind his office to stand in front of kira. “the trouble is earth.” sisko starts to reply, and kira interjects with a “really?”, sisko continues, “on earth, there is no poverty, no crime, no war. you look out the window of starfleet headquarters and you see paradise. well, it's easy to be a saint”

6th gif: the camera cuts to a close of kira, she is listening to sisko, “in paradise, but the maquis do not live in paradise.”

7th, 8th, 9th, & 10th gif: the camera cuts to show sisko pacing back and forth, before stopping in front of kira. he is clearly frustrated and agitated by starfleet’s response to the situation “out there, in the demilitarized zone, all the problems haven't been solved yet. out there, there are no saints, just people -- angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with the federation's approval or not.” /end id]  

#startrekedit #deepspacenineedit #deepspace9edit #scifiedit #deep space nine #deep space 9 #benjamin sisko #kira nerys #my stuff #* #** #ds9* #ds9** #long post #ds9 #im still in early season 4 but this is top 10 sisko moements for me like the switch from the starfleet rule book clearly states we should do #x in this situation to going to the demilitarised zone himself and realising that the rules do not justly apply here and trying to convey #this but then star fleet goes well they are still federation citizens surely they will understand the rules or w/e and then this speech??? #didnt include the makes sense to me / im glad someone understand bc the of the length but it was such a good ending to the scene imo #esp when kira tells sisko ok you should def give the same speech with the same emotion and belief to the cardassian legate
