    You see this ability to weave intricate, richly structured sentences not only in welles, but other well-known luminaries such as sowell, friedman, etc. Many can do this on paper; few can do this on command, ad hoc, on-the-fly.

    No doubt, the way Orson Welles delivered sentences was unique, he was so cultured, well read, he was such an interesting personality that it's impossible not to enjoy hearing him speak. Somebody once said that Peter Ustinov was God's gift to interviewers and TV hosts and I think the same can be said about Welles, never a dull moment when he was a guest. His interventions in the Dean Martin's Roasts commanded respectful attention due to his eloquence and humor, he was an extraordinary individual and a great artist. Thanks for the video, Blessings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.

    Welles made many great films, at least a handful of which rise far beyond Citizen Kane, although people neglect them. He was one of the greatest and most creatively diverse artists of all time. Compare Kane, Chimes at Midnight, Touch of Evil, The Trial and The Other Side of the Wind. You would think they were made by different directors, and yet all succeed despite the enormous limitations and interference he had to deal with.

    Thanks for putting this video together. I've admired and coveted Orson's speaking style for years. I'm going to apply your razor-sharp insights so I can talk more better and shit.

    That War of the Worlds interview was a master class in manipulation. Welles knew when The Charlie McCarthy Show (the most popular radio program at the time) would go to commercial. He timed the reporter's frenzied description of the Martian attack at that precise moment because he knew radio listeners would be channel surfing to hear what else was on. The Great Man manipulated the reporters as well, seemingly oblivious to the terror he created. No matter what Orson said you believed it because of his intellect, his imposing figure and his penetrating stare. He would have been a dangerous politician.

      It’s a known Hoax now, If you didn’t know. Mass Fake news. They did a poll and the majority of people didn’t even really panic or go “crazy”. The news made up all the hysterical stories and it went down on paper as a great historic moment of hysteria.

    He was intelligent, charismatic, both confident and self-deprecating. And his voice had a wonderful tone. Could listen to him all day. Appreciate your analysis. I don't imagine he thought about his own speech in this way, he just had a good brain and education.

    I appreciate your Subject matter and the Subject you’ve chosen to study, i am not sure in your ability to detect the How and Why however regarding the point you’re trying to make with Orson, but ill keep watching because even if you’re not correct, you have correctly identified a TRUE MASTER and for that ill continue to listen in.

    Welles, who came from the Chicago area, was well-read, particularly in the Elizabethans. He didn’t go to university, so he hadn’t lots of books filled with jargon. He had elocution instructors and a background in radio.

    Orson is one of my heroes. He was a tremendous liar, a liar extraordinaire. He speaks in the language of storytelling. All those pauses he uses is to think about how he can embellish the story. That’s why he’s so interesting in his interviews.

    "People around the country thought that this was an actual alert that had to do with World War II." Not at all. "The War of the Worlds" was broadcast on October 30, 1938. Even though the Nazi threat was very present in world affairs, with the Munich Agreement allowing for their annexation of the Sudetenland having been concluded only one month earlier, World War II didn't begin until Germany invaded Poland almost a year later on September 1, 1939. If anything, the radio play's broadcast on Halloween night had more to do with the resulting frenzy than the fear of a war that hadn't started yet.

      No. You missed the most important element that Welles had: knowledge, and a great culture in various subjects, including talking itself. This gives you the confidence needed to give any kind of explanation without hesitation, a wide vocabulary and solid concepts.
      What you explained is what medieval philosophers called flatus vocis, empty rhetoric, just the elements of the form and art of speaking. In other words, sophistry. But Orson Welles wasn't a sophist.

    From mid 4 minutes to 6 minutes you’ve completely lost me in a word salad trying to turn a Man into some DEFINITION of tasks he uses to explain his method of Expression.
    By 9 minutes im realizing you are not REALLY familiar with the material you speak on, by the end i think you’ve just presented some Techno-Babble on word phrasing and i am completely unconvinced in the point you were attempting to make regarding Orson Welles.
    Try reading My Lunches With Orson by Henry Jaglom for a look at the man behind the mythos. He was far more bad ass than any example you’ve used for him here.

    You don’t simply PAUSE as a matter of course to “be like Orson” one Pauses so they can interpret the question, compose a direction to answer it, then they speak.
    Don’t just duplicate the action without understanding and following its purpose.
    Your presentation feels inauthentic is why i state this, you seem very scripted at appearing unscripted.
