And the BEST PRESENTER is.....{E01}

SO, you've watched a whole load of clips on presentations and of presentations. Who would you say is the best presenter?
Randy Paunsch?
Ed Tate?
Doug Jeffrys?
Dick Hardt?
TJ Walker?
Or Microsoft dude? (Should he even be on the list?)

So what have you learnt from all you've watched? In groups, come up with your steps to being an EFFECTIVE PRESENTER using P.R.E.S.E.N.T. Is it the same as your first draft? If it's different, explain the changes made. If it's the same, explain why you've not made any changes.

I think TJ walker is best speaker among them. But i think he is too much of face expression until it distract others.

i do not agree that TJ WALKER is the best speech.i know that he delivered his speech really well but i think he use too much facial expression that make his speech quite interesting at the very beginning of his speech but later on it quite boring to listen to.

I think the best presenter goes to the one who had present the speech of the last lecture.I chose him based on the way he present his speech.He was using power point and use some photos to describe about himself which is so attractive.He told everything about himself.For example,he is already married and has 3 children,he also has PHD,a story of him when he was small and so on.
Besides that, he also made some jokes which made the audience tend to laugh and were enjoy along his speech.Honestly, I am so proud of him because he can deliver his speech successfully.It is because the audience including me did not felt bored during his speech.

A good presenter is someone who has the ability to steal peoples attraction and to make others fall into his or her presentation.Obviously as for me i would like to choose the presenter of "The last lecture" as the best presenter among all because after listening to a few first presentations i got tired and sleepy but once he performed his presentation, i was automatically awaken and all my attention were on him.He gave the audience a sense of impression where everyone just kept quite and focused on him.His presentation were not bored because he inserted some photos and less words in his slides.Cracking some jokes and communicate in a very effective way ensures tat the audience enjoy the presentation very well.He has not much time left to survive but he shows us how a presenter should look like.A positive thinking,a confident and a cheerful person.

Best Presenter? A person who able to tell people something in detail but not bored. In this case, "The Last Lecturer" is the best presenter in my opinion. He presented his lecture with full of humour sense. He seem very relaxing and enjoyable when giving out his talk. He even can do push up during his talk! Amazing... On the other hand, his powerpoint was also very attractive and fantastic. Although the slideshow looks simple and brief,but it contains all the useful information. Just one picture but detailed by his words! People will not feel bored as compared to a talk which their powerpoint is full of sentences and dull. Lastly, "The Last Lecture"-A presenter who able attract his audiences and make his whole talk interesting and cheerful...

From al of the clips that I'd watched,they were obviously shown that the presenter of "last lecture" was the best.As we know,he's going to die soon because of pancreatic cancer but he still can do some exercise even on the stage.It means that we can do anything to attrack the listener to give their attention on our presentation..One more thing I want o share with all of you that he was died today,on friday.If you don't believe me,you can go to thos website:

Hope his family will be strong to face this situation and we can be a good presenter like him or maybe better..

The best presenter is................ TJ WALKER!!!!!
.He is confident speaker.Very confident!After wacth his presentation,i honestly want to say that i had learn how to craft and deliver a memorable speech or presentation to any audience. How to connect with an audience, convey confidence and create strong eye contact.Raja Gopal,in the previous comment had said that TJ Walker made much of face expression.it is true but in my point of view,he does not distract the audience.For me,with his expression,we can say that he is very confident with what he is going to do.Besides that,i'm proud of him because with that situation,TJWalker still can crack the jokes to make his presentation live and all the audience enjoy it.I still remember his advice, "don't turn back of audience".Now,i realise that give a speech without any graph,pictures and any others prob are bored and i will never do that.TJ Walker had reminds us to not talk with the mouth facing the screen.If i want to talk about TJ Walker,it have no ending.too much i can learn from him.so,TJWalker is the best presenter that i know

In my opinion,all the presenter is good. But their ways to delivers their speech have make the difference between them. A presenter not always in a good form.Sometimes they may do a mistakes. Like the presenter 'Microsoft dude' for example; I do not think that he is a bad presenter. Maybe that is the first time experience for him. We do not know the real situation. And how about TJ Walker? We know that he was a great speaker; but do you know about his first time experience?Maybe his experience same like microsoft dude. For conclusion,we cannot think negative when someone do mistake when presenting,otherwise we must support them. For the whole clips on presentation I watched at mini theatre, I will choose Randy Paunsch. His speech has touching my heart and latest I had be informed that he has passed away lately.And it was a sad moment and i respected him.

Best presenter???for me Randy Pausch is the best of all...The way he managed his speeach,his slides,his body language and his tone are very attractive.He could make me laugh and cry at the same moment.His battle with Pancreatic Cancer even though ultimately lost,give us this awesome example of courage and wisdom.(now his gone)
'To present' and 'to stand on the stage (behind the laptop),give some talk and pushed the ENTER button' is a very different thing. I'm sure you know who's i'm talking about.Dick Hardt sure have a good slide but the way he present surely as bored as the 'Microsoft dude'.

I think i agree with some of our friends that choose TJ Walker as a best presenter.He as a great presenter known well about presentation.He still can make a joke even though talk about the serious topic.The way that he want to give a tip also different between other presenter.He use a example to give a tip.I always want to be like him.

Still remember the presenter who keep present using the slide show?Yup...i am his admirer,i very appreciate with this kind of people with can present somethings using a very special way like showing pictures instead of one word.I am sure this fresh kind of present will be more tempt compare to the 'talking a lot' presentation.

Obviously,TJ walker is the best presenter among the others.Woh!!!I am totally attract by the way his speaking.Look at him,his body languege,face expression,selfconfidence,and his polytone sound.This are all the charecteristics should be in a good presenter.He really good than enough.This are the reasons why i choose him.

After view the comments of my coursemate,i realised that the best presenter for most of them is TJ Walker and the "The last lecturer".So,in my opinion i think that both of them have their strength and weakness. For example, TJ Walker can present his speech very smoothly but his body language is too exaggerate while the 'the last lecturer ' is very interesting but lack of communication with the audience.

Who is the best presenter???
Everyone was choose TJ Walker is the best presenter included me. But Doug Jeffery also the one who can caught my attention to listen.
I felt very touch to Doug Jeffery the way he present to audience,
I like his slide show and the way he present his history and future.
TJ walker got many video clips watched by us. The way he present is confident and can control his volume well to make audience to give attention to him.
If Doug Jeffery compared with TJ Walker sure TJ Walkr will be chosen as best presenter because Doug Jeffery got a bit bored.
In my view, the best presenter is can bring out the points to audience so can get what he wanna to say.
So if TJ Walker represent by a company to promote some new products, i think the sales will higher than expected.

In my opinion….the best presenter is TJ WALKER!!
That’s because he had attracted my attention to heard what he said. He not like Microsoft guys who not uses eyes contact with the audience. The languages that he uses are easy to understand with suitable expressions on what he said.
So….clear and…comfortable…..he uses all the body languages to get the audiences attention…
He full of confident when given the speech in front of the audiences…I hope I will be as him when give a public speaking. He also know what his topic clearly…he does not fold his hand like the Microsoft guys…
He uses a suitable example in his presentation…..

Look like a competition between TJ Walker and Randy Pausch.For me,both of them have their own ability to deliver their presentation.The Last Lecture is very touchy.Deeply in our heart we feel it.Meaning,the presenter had done the best communication with audience.TJ Walker has very good personality with his body language which help him to be the best presenter.

all in all.. TJ WALKER deserve to get the tittle as the best presenter.. i absolutely proud of him as he managed to deliver his speech with full of intonation and i'm sure that for those who don't know much in english language can still understand on what he mean to say from the expression of his face and the body language..

i think the best presenter is the last lecture. he gives all he want to says in just a speech and using slide shows, he put everything in about his life and not for sympathie but for telling the truth about him that have a few month to breath in this world. i realy realy respect him for being brave enough for giving the speech although he know what will happen to him.

for me, i really like Ed Tate because he uses good body language and he had a good interaction with the audience it looks so easy the way he did it, but when you want to practice it to real life, then only you will know how hard it is.

As I said, I think TJ Walker is the best presenter as he is very confident.His appearances,his performances and his presentation skills are very good indeed.He even can crack some joke during his speech...But of course he can present very well since the topic he presented is about how to present well by using Microsoft PowerPoint.
Hopefully, i can speech like him.
