Zak Ebrahim does a great job with the way he speaks. I think
he spoke clearly, he projected, he didn’t fidget, and he made eye contact
properly. The only part about his speech that was a little off for me was how
he just stood in one spot the entire time. Was he engaging? Yes. But honestly, I
feel like if I were in that crowd, I would have had a hard time keeping alert.
The topic was very interesting and he made great points but the fact that the
level of his voice didn’t change and he stayed in one spot may have lost me a little. He didn't use visual aides. I can maybe see why his volume didn't change at all though; he stayed on a serious subject and didn't give an option to change the way he addressed his audience.
I think that part of what made the speech okay to watch and engaging was the
camera angles and how they moved around.

Isabel Allende makes an all around great speech. She
projects and speaks with a purpose. Isabelle connects with her audience on a
personal level and uses a topic that is relatable with everyone: aging. She
uses serious points and uses humor to get her point across. Visual aids and
photos are utilized to better put her point across. Her eye contact is effective
and she locks onto individuals in the audience and interacts with everyone to some
extent. She uses a friendly and almost conversational tone while changing her
volume levels and using appropriate transitions between ideas. She just did a great
job overall with her presentation style.
