I struggle with speaking. I get really nervous and am a bit of a perfectionist so I am never happy with any recordings I do. I saw that this was one of the assignment options so I took the opportunity to work on my speech and also learn how to make it better. I was… Continue reading Ted Talk Practice

If you don’t already know, my radio show, Un-University, is focusing on college life in the pandemic. I think we can all agree it’s been a little… different. In this piece I used GarageBand (and my brother’s Xbox headphones) in order to record this TedTalk on gratitude. Gratitude is the one thing that has gotten… Continue reading Don’t Be Un-Grateful.

Let me set the scene for you. It’s Sunday night, I’m sitting on the floor of my dorm room, going through every option on the Assignment Bank because I had nothing else to do, and I find an option to do a TedTalk. I was, to say the least–excited. You see, I’ve always LOVED TedTalks,… Continue reading Forever Alone.

For this audio assignment I spoke as if I were speaking in a TEDx Talk. This gave me some more practice with my speaking skills and learning where to pause, how to pause, and use inflection in my voice. Yet, I am also already very familiar with this because I have had many speeches during … Continue reading Talkin like TED

For my last audio assignment, I decided to do the “Ted Talk Pronunciation Practice” prompt. I always struggled with giving presentations. The worst part was always getting my words jumbled around. All the random pauses and stutters are what I need to improve. Thankfully with this assignment, it’s just audio, which I think is a […]

I really enjoyed the Ted Talk Pronunciation Practice Assignment (3 stars). It was right up my alley. I enjoy public speaking and presenting to others, so I enjoyed this activity.
