1. Robert Gupta Between music
and medicine
Jonathan Hammock_Public Speaking 1211

2. THESIS:
The thesis of Roberts presentation was
how the beauty of music has the ability to
heal and to speak where words fail.

3. To capture the audience
attention, Robert started off the
presentation by playing his violin

4. • Robert kept the audience focus by telling some
of his personal stories. He used his humor to
keep the attention of the audience’s. He also
emphasized on the healing power of music, and
totally surprising the audience by playing his
violin for the second time.

5. • Robert used the fourth TED commandment, his
speech was mostly on his life stories that helped
him chose his path as a musician and a doctor.

6. FOR DYNAMISM, I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE
BETWEEN MUSIC AND MEDICINE A FIVE!!

7. Robert Gupta was very well spoken and showed his passions to the
audience with his humor and story telling. Also showing off his violin
skills made the presentation feel much realer and what made it
interesting.

8. Tips by Nancy Duarte, Robert was able to keep the first and second
rule in mind. He was able to treat the audience as king and spread is
ideas to move people. He showed his passion for music by playing
the violin for the audience.

9. I learned from this presentation
that well spoken life stories that
other people can relate to can
help bring you presentation
together.

10. Also having a personal story can help
you ground the speech. Robert talked
about the hard chose he had to make,
ether to become a doctor or a musician.
Every one has to make rough choces
so a topic like that would be easier for
the audience to relate.

11. Similarities:
The similarites of Sir ken Robinson and
Robert Gupta are the way they both
give personal and life lessons for
examples to catch the attention of the
audience.

12. The Differences:
Robert Gupta spoke on a more emotional
level talking about his personal experience as
a musician and the hard choses he had to
make along the way. Sir Ken Robinson spoke
more from a objective view with cold hard
facts.

13. SOME TIPS ON SPEECH DELIVERY

14. Believe in yourself and
what you have to say. If
the people see how
passionate you are about
what you have to say,
then people will listen.

15. LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE AND USE SOME
HUMOR!!!!
