Potential TedTalk Concept

TedTalk on Performing in front of huge crowds

Main ideas:

·         Get in your own zone

·         Black out the audience (or the lights will do that for you)

·         Speak clearly

·         Speak loud

·         Have confidence (even if you don’t, act like you do)

·         Get your performance across whether it’s singing, dancing, acting, or public speaking

·         Make sure you look around at the audience so you are engaging them (even if you can’t see them directly, by looking around it appears that you are)

·         Stand strong (this shows confidence)

·         Let your personality shine through

Notes: Speak to the class about performing in front of crowds of people. This could be helpful to shy people, ones that don't like public speaking, or just that ones that need a few extra tips to help them with their nervousness. I can relate to this and speak about personal experiences as well.
