Her pace is pretty fast so she is able to get through all of the topics she needs to discuss during her speech, but she also takes occasional pauses to account for the laughter of the audience after a joke she makes.

She starts off the TED talk with a bag in her hands.

The speaker holds a suitcase while talking about being sent to summer camp during her childhood, which is a representative gesture.

She looks around at everyone making sure she makes eye contact with everyone in the audience.

She is putting different inflections on her words giving them life.

As Susan Cain is speaking within the introduction of her TED talk she is setting her story. As she is doing this she brings life to the quote “I had this idea that camp was going to be just like this but better (Cain, Susan).” She speaks with life and confidence about her idea of the camp experience she was about to have.

The setting down of the bag is well times she does it right when it is good to pause so it doesnt seem awkward or out of place. after she sets it down she picks up her speech from there like it’s nothing.

“It was like a keg party with no alcohol.” She says this is a sense of humor for the audience.

Susan begins to speak of the chant they would sing at camp. Instead of stating what the chant was she brought it to life by speaking it. By way of this the audience could almost feel and envision as if they were with her. She sings the chant “R-O-W-D-I-E that’s the way we spell rowdie.” She is able to grab the audiences attention through bringing life to this moment.

She demonstrates hand gestures when describing the cheer she learned at camp.

When Susan chants the camp cheer, she uses a more enthusiastic tone to show the audience her experience and how she was taught to present the cheer.

She is showing life from showing emotion in the words she is saying.

Whenever she is showing us the cheer that they did, her speed is way faster than it was before, considering this is an example of the cheer.

Susan Cain uses life in this part of her speech by acting out what she did at summer camp. It would have been easy to just say the simple chant or cheer they did, but instead she acted it out as if she was still at summer camp. The life in her voice gave the audience a better understanding of what actually happened.

Susan does a chant that she did at her camp and while she is expressing herself during the chant her eyes get wider as her voice gets louder during the chant. This gained my focus and i’m sure the audience was hooked as well.

Right from the beginning Susan starts off her talk by looking out at the crowd. By her eyeing the whole room the audience is engaged and ready to hear what she is going to be talking about.

The way she changes the tone of her voice to a more high pitched tone shows the care and desire she truly had for reading and her longing to get to go read instead of silly chants.

Even through just the first minute and 46 seconds of her speech, it is clear to the audience that she speaks with her hands, or uses demonstrative gestures. This also runs over into the poise category, as her gestures d not take away from her presentability and, in fact, may even be aiding her overall message.

When she talks about putting her books back in her suitcase for the summer, she speaks in a more somber tone to express to the audience how saddened she was by doing this.

Susan Cain is trying to project a voice of sorrow and being “mellow” as she is having to put her books away under her bed.

She actively moves around and makes simple hand gestures to match her words or emotions.

When Susan says the line “The right way to go,” she puts a lot of emphasis on these words. She is almost sarcastic while saying this, only because the people at camp were telling her not to read her own books. They did not agree with her introverted ways.

She paces on the stage, but it is not distracting from her topics.

In this moment she her passion for her topic shows and she starts to move a lot, speed up her tone, and even gets a little bit louder.

Susan becomes more powerful with her voice as she is talking how introverts lose themselves. introverts need to do what they do best.

When talking about introverts in the world she takes on a more assertive and powerful tone.

Her eyes are constantly moving it isn’t just her head going back and forth looking through audience.

Comfortable on stage. she fumbles here and there but it’s barely noticeable if you’re not paying attention to it.

Here is an example of one of the long pauses that she takes to account for laughter.

Susan Cain is able to bring to life her explanation of how she sat in grade school. She brings it to life by raising her tone and speaking confidently.

When she talks about the setup of her childhood classrooms(desks in row format), she moves her hands to show the “autonomous” rows. She even says “like this” after making the hand motions, prompting to the audience that she was describing something. This was a descriptive gesture.

When she is talking about kids being outliers because they are introverts her voice seems to project more as she tries to get her point across about the bias to extroverts.

Susan is able to bring life to her voice as she is making a controversial statement, her voice makes it humorous.

The humor that Susan brings into her TED Talk adds life to what is being said. The audience can be better engaged and relatable to the content.

She is keeping the audience interested in her Ted Talk by sounding joyful or more monotone at times depending on what she is trying to convey to the audience.

good brush off. probably was’t supposed to be a joke but she was able to laugh along with the audience. smooth like creamy peanut butter.

Susan was talking about people’s ideas bubbling to the surface and used hand motions to give a visual for that.

The speaker sort of bounces up and down while speeding up what she was saying because it was an exciting part of the speech. Her body language matched her pacing here.

Susan speaks mostly about introverts and extroverts and their typical habits. This is ironic because she first says that she is an introvert, yet she is giving a great talk about the same topic. The life presented in her voice would not give the audience the idea that she is an introvert.

I noticed after she finishes or gets her point across on a certain part of her speech she will stop talking and gaze at the crowd.

Susan Cain speaks of her husband and laughs at how he is an extrovert, but she still loves him. She brings life to this moment through the personal connection to the crowd. I feel as though people in the crowd can relate to her and feel the life she is bringing to the light.

The speaker motions her hands in quotation marks when citing something someone else said.

Here we hear one of those nervous words or placeholders that some speakers repeat to the point that it is distracting or takes away from their poise and message, that being “um.” However, with Susan she merely uses it as a brief moment to collect her thoughts and then bring about the message to the audience. She uses it a few times throughout the speech but keeps on rolling and does not let it become an obstacle for her or the audience.

Putting emphasis on these lines can better engage the audience and let them understand what is being spoken about.

She leans forward in order to engage the audience in a specific part of the speech.

When she is giving an example of something she seems to talk much quicker. I think this might be due to the fact that it is not as important to her message.

When she is developing a main idea in her speech, she slows down when talking about it so that the audience does not miss it.

She maintains a smile and cordial facial expressions.

As Susan continues through her TED talk, she begins to speak of psychology. She quotes “It turns out” with an emphasis. I do not mean relating to her voice, but the notice to the life she is presenting here. She speaks life and intrigued me (and probably the crowd) to listen to what she is about to say about the psychology.

When she talks about different people who have accomplished great things in history, she makes the audience laugh by talking about how they are mostly introverted.

Adding a question, open ended or not, can add life into a speech. Giving the audience time to think about these questions can give them a better connection to the topic at hand.

The speaker is able to slow down on solitude while still keeping a persuasive and formal motive when speaking.

Her transitions so far have been very clean. everything flows together and it never feels choppy when she moves to the next section of the speech.

Susan demonstrates eye contact the whole Ted Talk. With her having this aspect we can make a deeper connection with her and her talk.

She used hand quotations whenever she said “man”, implying it could be a man or woman.

Cain begins to read about an artifact of information. She quotes from it “Character the Grandest Thing in The World.” She brings life to this quote because she is citing it.

When she starts to talk about the world of extroverts and introverts, she starts to get a more serious tone as she speaks.

Speaker is able to keep a questioning voice while speaking on topics. It keeps people on their toes to hear what she is gonna say next.

“So now I would like to share with you what is in my suitcase today (Cain, Susan).” Susan brings life to this moment as she is about to present what she has in her suitcase. This can intrigue the audience to be present and pay attention for what is to come.

The gesture to the suitcase comes back to reaffirm her beginning claim, just like restating a thesis.

“Guess what? Books.”

She held up books from her suitcase to show to the audience.

She holds up the books from her suitcase to show the covers of them to the audience.

She holds onto the suitcase after closing it almost to support herself for a moment.

She closes her hands together while she pauses, almost in order to gather her thoughts before she started again.

when talking about her grandfathers favorite authors books, the speaker gets quieter and more sorrow than usual.

Susan Cain brings life to the TED Talk while she is speaking of her grandfather. She speaks with life and happiness about her grandfather. She speaks of his belongings and passions. Life is filled within her voice. She quotes “But he also loved his congregation (Cain, Susan).”

Susan talks about here that her grandfather gave many different speeches, but did not always have the best eye contact. Even though he struggled with this he still could deliver his talks.

Her facial expressions indicate a positive attitude throughout her speech.

Her energy shifts and she becomes introverted as she is speaking about being an introvert and how she had to make a shift in her work that is a more difficult task for an introvert versus an extrovert.

She shakes her hands back and forth to gesture to the entire crowd.

Slowly getting towards the end of her speech, she is getting a little bit slower while talking about how her, an introvert, feels at this event.

Susan walks around the stage making sure she doesn’t miss anyone on the sides of the audience.

When speaking about living in a cabin in the woods she is speaking as a joke (for both introverts and extroverts) and for a sense of humor in her speech

She is talking about our mind and how we need to think our own thoughts more. She uses hand motions around her head.

At the end of her speech I noticed how Susan never lost eye contact with the audience which made the audience feel connected with the speaker.

She is at the same pace mostly for the entire speech. She does a great job at staying at this pace and also knows when she should speed up and slow down. Which is only a couple times.
