In my very humble opinion, I find her too smiley and actually too polished. The best speakers don't sound rehearsed (although they have obviously rehearsed ALOT): when they deliver, they're inspirational, but somehow, they manage to speak on stage like they're chatting to their mates, so we feel like we're listening to a human, not a robot.
@@thentheb5466 - it depends how badly you want to nail it and how important public speaking is to you - but try recording yourself on your phone again and again and again - reflect, record, practise -I did my own TEDx talk this year - 'Domestic Abuse - not a gender issue' - not sure whether you feel this is a more natural delivery?
Does she talk like this regularly in daily situations? Cause it's horrible. I would never get anything from what she's saying cause I'd be too busy recommending decaffinated coffe.
good public speaking leader . I would like to appreciate your voice and public connection and the way you are speaking and talking to your intelligent audience confidently .
Many people here are criticising but few of them can talk like you Laura with confidence and with a good smile on your face. You really talk like a book. Best of luck.
What a lovely smile and great display of a good body language like her firm but relaxed hand gestures. She also got me noticed that may be I'm a stinky fish too but I'm working on it and hopefully I'll get through it as well.
I agree, but someone should have tested the microphone settings first! Its sad when something important gets destroyed by something that small. All 14 minuts, i was thinking about the snake from Robin Hood "Sir Hissss". So annoying.
Very true Laura Penn. you are a smart good public Speaker I like the way you speak to people . I would like to appreciate your beautiful speaking voice that is very unique and your confident public connection and the way you are speaking and talking to your intelligent audience confidently . Wishing you all the Best . I am a Motivational Speaker and Leadership Coach . i like the way you talk and speak confidently in a very inspirational way . Thank you so much .Regards
I am amazed that somebody who sounds so unnatural when speaking (with STRANGE and unnatural EMphasis and rigid, unvaried pace) feels qualified to tell others how to speak. It just goes to show that believing you can do something is no indicator of ability.
Too much stress on every word that difficult to focus on main messages and too many negative words and insulting others clearly shows arrogance... Didn't like a single word she said
A superb presentation. May I suggest in the interest of the speaking art, it is equally an intelligence that ignores the below-level presentations or mentions them indirectly. After all, we are all humans. Anyway, I liked this presentation.
She smiles throughout the whole presentation and her tone of voice use stays the same. It gives me the impression she does not mean it and is (over)acting instead. It takes me away from the content and that is a pity. Because what she is saying is relevant.
Well said.... Despite her highly polished-way of presentation, she sounds monotonous & mono-acting, bcos she had the same expression, same vocal-pitch through out the speech...? But, the speaking-tips she listed at the end are great: Confidence, Vocal variation, Message etc. (...In that order). Nice to see that she didn't give extra importance to 'Content'... But these days, many so-called 'big speech-mentors' wrongly give more importance to content and ignore Body language & vocal qualities etc of the speakers....?
I would like to hear your opinion of speakers, men and women, who have hair so long that it's in their eyes; also speakers who look over their glasses. Annoying! If they'd pin their hair back and take off their glasses, they'd hold my attention
A good speaker comes off as authentic, not contrived. Laura Penn's delivery appears canned, not authentic. This is not the type of speaking I connect with, but it is like so many of the presentations on TedTalk. TedTalk presentations are often formulaic.
I liked some of the messages but found that the way it was delivered was a bit cringy and cheesy. It didn’t feel authentic and lacked real emotion to connect with me as someone receiving this as opposed to someone who could do any better
Very good, but a tad unnatural. Too much pre-polished. Plus point is this one is going to be a go to back!rewind one for many future public speaking aspirants. My praise .and applauds. Yepic Yoga Babu.

I agree.....
Iv been trying to do this but I can’t speak like I’m human, just like I’m sounding like a robot

Thank you Laura T2000. You have made our machine family proud.

I admire her confidence, well done ...
Well done Laura -- love your energy!!!
Love her energy and confidence💪
What a lovely smile and great display of a good body language like her firm but relaxed hand gestures. She also got me noticed that may be I'm a stinky fish too but I'm working on it and hopefully I'll get through it as well.
Very interesting, love it, thank you👌✨
thank you so much, Laura!
This is meaty message, covering all things I need to hear about public speaking. Awesome!!! 👍🏼

Loved her energy n the message
I enjoyed this presentation. Lots of good reminders with an overarching theme "deliver a performance in a that makes the message matter!"
Thank you Laura in reminding me what not to do in my presentation!
Finally! A speaker who pronounces it as pr eh sen tation, not preeeee sentation
More than half the speech is about how bad other people speak.
Too many pauses and overemphasis on each word makes it look artificial.
Very very effective......thankful to you 👏
Excellent Laura I learnt from your presentation
Simply fabulous in all respects!
This oness make you sharp.
I am amazed that somebody who sounds so unnatural when speaking (with STRANGE and unnatural EMphasis and rigid, unvaried pace) feels qualified to tell others how to speak. It just goes to show that believing you can do something is no indicator of ability.
Great tips, Thank you
A Very energetic presentation that makes me take full of attention to the whole speech! Bravo!
Best Ted on public speaking nd to the point
Too much stress on every word that difficult to focus on main messages and too many negative words and insulting others clearly shows arrogance... Didn't like a single word she said
As if she is perfect...
I noticed that too
It's having lot of friction, not that smooth, we need to put high energy to liye her
And the unnecessary smiles
Soothing i loved it
Thank you so much. You helped me a lot 💋❤
Good context but the speakers' sounds too contrived.
Greatest understanding
On point!
Great. It's the truth
Best ted talk I've heard in a long time
Amazing presenting of how to present 👌
A superb presentation. May I suggest in the interest of the speaking art, it is equally an intelligence that ignores the below-level presentations or mentions them indirectly. After all, we are all humans. Anyway, I liked this presentation.
body language example couldn't be better than that.
Good work
Patience sister,
No one starts brightly without phobia!
You sometime belong to this class of speakers you now criticize instead of encourage.
Excellent!
A lot of critical judgement of others but no meat on the bone when it comes to performance!
Be in the here and now!
You got it simon.
Thanks 🙏

Fantastic!!
Watched at 2x speed. Still too slow.
wow. Make the attempt to be genuine and Converse and engage with your audience. What's a can piece of a presentation with no feeling behind it
I loved it. I enjoyed every word of it. She invites you to think not to listen and this is tge core of a good presentation.
Masterful presentation.
Well researched.
Dear laura Practice what you preach.
Best talk I have ever heard
Full of energy and good content, but she didn't sound natural. I just didn't enjoy her talk
Amazing
Thx Laura. ..
Thanks
Probably too many years in Toastmasters.
Great sharing
your body language is very nice and like all of them.
I'm interested to do humor storytelling. As a writer I have many contents or materials to tell the stories
Such a polished presentation! :)
Not a stinky fish one hahah

I lasted 30 seconds before I got annoyed. That voice is so clipped and unnatural.
Why do we accept such a low standard?
Very good, but a tad unnatural. Too much pre-polished. Plus point is this one is going to be a go to back!rewind one for many future public speaking aspirants. My praise
.and applauds. Yepic Yoga Babu.
👏
Smells like tilapia!
For giving a Ted Talk about public speaking she certainly isn't any good at it
what if a great presenter gives a worst idea and convinces an audience or an investor. purr..
I'll have whatever she's having
Don't put too many umm's in your speech.
Too fake...no connection with audience. Be better reading Shakespeare.
Might be that I put my ac down, nevertheless I got chillls
Ncy bt go slow
She is negative not good
Omg the lipsmacking
Negative and judgmental talk spoken so well.
Sorry but, I really didn't enjoy this. It felt like she was giving out all the time.
fantastic
