Michaels slide design was extremely effective, and creative. He spoke with great convivtion and really opened up the audiences eyes to the benefits of wood buildings. He even addressed the few concerns that he figured would be most common and mitigated them through depicting a scenario with his hands. He was obviously an expert on his topic and was extremely professional in the way he carried himself. I like the way he used the stage and walked around.

Michael has very good composure on stage. He speaks calmly and fluidly with great passion about his subject. With so much pressure on him at this type of evident it is obvious that he knows the topic well and wants to share his ideas to others. He is also able to translate his ideas well through simplistic and well organized slides. His slide work utilize words well without making the presentation look cluttered or disorganized. They look very professional keeping the same theme throughout of natural images and a bold prominent text font. The most interesting part of his presentation was the animations he used to convey his message in a better visual way. Big Mike confidently spoke about the issues people may have with his idea and gave his opinion on all the problems that people may have come up with.

Since the very beginning he seems VERY calm and confident. He speaks with the same tone for the first slides so he already gives the audience the idea there's something more that he wants to talk about. The slides all contain pictures that impress the audience. Also, he moves to next slide very smoothly and he does not rush his presentation just because he wants to be done with it. He smiles throughout the entire presentation and looks people in the eyes. He does not seem to memorize his arguments. Instead, he actually knows and internalizes his topic so he doesn't have to have notes with him or remember word after word. Each time he speaks, every word comes from his mind and heart. His slides are very powerful. The colors, the numbers and the text give people a clear idea of what he is talking about right away, even if he is the only one to actually know something about this topic. He has great slides, with few text and perfect design. He connects his topic to his personal stories, that everyone can relate to. He addresses the main critics to his topic. This makes his thesis solid, very solid. He thought as people's mind. Great conclusion statement.

From the very beginning, Michael Green not only attracts my attention, but the audiences as well. Green begins and finalizes his talk with confidence and refrains from stuttering or rambling. As he spoke his first words, he opened his arms to the audience, offering his story and sharing his experiences with his viewers. My first impression within the first 7 seconds was a knowledgeable and  collected speaker. Following these first moments, I was immediately drawn to his cause.

Additionally, Green manipulated his slide work to parallel the simplicity and of his own words. He explains his ideas using terms that appeal to the general public and avoids using concepts that would only be understood by fellow architects. He continues to note societal perception and applies his theories to the lives of everyday people.

Throughout his presentation, you can tell Green is very passionate about this topic. This passion is conveyed through a confident vocal tone. He builds his credibility in the beginning by showing slides of his own buildings, which shows he knows alot about this topic. Then he introduces a problem and suggests a creative solution. Not only does he just explain this major problem, but he provides many specific statistics building credibility and intelligence once again. He also displays those statistics on his slides allowing the audience to internalize the numbers. Another strategic element of his presentation is that he addresses the opposing views on his issue. He shows the audience that he is aware that people will doubt wood buildings, but he assures them that these issues are not problematic. His non verbal signals were very good aswell. He moves around the stage casually, and uses his hand to create a. The whole time he is also smiling  making him appear more intelligent and it helps him convey his message. His final slide was also powerful by saying "The Race is on" keeping his presentation fresh in the audience's mind!

Michael Green- 5 keys to a good TED talk

# data[].attributes.body
Michael Green started off with an image of his grandpa and his son, two innocent people, that instantly made struck a connection with me, and probably did with every one else. No one can deny the ethos struck when talking about loved one. in those first 7 seconds, he struck a great impression. Green spoke smoothly, and never once look at his slides, always gazing at the audience. He used great images, that very very short, and not too wordy. He cited facts, and statistics. Green used hand gestures, walked around the stage, and appeared very confident, always smiling. Up to the last seconds, he said something flashy, to keep our attentions, and to make us think about his presentation.- Jared Shiffert

The presenter started off his presentation very well in the first 7 seconds. He grabbed my attention by showing me his grandfather and his son. He seemed very powerful and strong in his presentation. His hand gestures and visual aides kept my eyes busy and attentive. He is very passionate about his wood and you could tell that he internalized all of his information that he was talking about. This made his presentation better since you could tell that he was not reading off a script.

He starts off the presentation looking and sounding confident .The first thing talked about was his background with wood and where he learned to work with the material. The use of hand motions by green really pushed his ideas and helps show the importance of the topic at large.He doesn't even look at his slides but the dialogue goes great with the images shown on each slides. Using rhetorical questions allowed for green to engage the audience and include them in the presentation.

Michael Green have very good slides.  He had slide that gave very good statistics about what he was presenting about.  When he talked about the trees and wood he have good slides and his vocal projects went up when he gave surprising facts.  He gave us very good body language when he was talking about something and showing us sizes when he was using his fingers or arms.  His slides were very good because it gave out messages for a reason why not to get rid of tees in the forest.  He uses a powerful pose before starting his presentation and before talking which was good. Overall I think that Green's presentation was very good.

Michael Green has a lot of obvious passion for wood buildings. he spoke evenly and with conviction, making sure his listeners knew what his argument was. TED also worked hard to increase the impact of the video, showing powerful angles when and impact was needed, and more subtle framing when familiarity was needed. His body language and tone of voice worked very well to pull the audience into his argument. He made very good use of his visuals, augmenting the presentation as opposed to breaking the flow. All in all, Green showed his audience that he knew what he was talking about, and in doing that he used a multitude of speaking and presentation techniques.

He never looks at his slides, but he knows exactly what is up there and how it corresponds to his talk. This proves he's confident, knowledgeable, and commanding on stage. Green moved around the stage, but didn't wander, he seemed comfortable. The pace of his walk wasn't frantic, it was smooth. He smiled a lot, showing not only that he was relaxed, but that he was confident on stage. His hands never stopped moving. This led to more movement and more interesting visuals, other than the slides. When he brought up a question, he answered it with many details and explanations. He addressed issues that the audience may have and explained how they are resolved. Green used inflections in his voice during different slides. This led to more a more interesting sound. This could be listened to without the slides because of the way his voice betrayed what he really felt. Overall, he did very well vocally, physically, and in his slides.

In Michael Green's presentation, he starts off very well by beginning with a good opening slide and beginning with a very calming voice. You can also tell he is passionate about his topic because of his tone of voice and his enthusiasm during his presentation. One thing that also kept me interested in his presentation is his use of non-verbals, like his hand gestures, it let me know that he actually knew what he was talking about and he was very relaxed while speaking. Also, not looking at his slides also let me know that he came very prepared for this presentation. He shows his credibility by stating facts and elaborating on those facts.

Michael Green: Body Language and Effective Content

# data[].attributes.body
Michael Green is incredibly confident and this is conveyed through his body language.  When the camera opens, Green pauses for a second before beginning.  During this time, although he is not speaking, he stands up straight and with his legs spread, a power pose.  This nonverbal communication governs the audience's view of Green as a confident and competent individual. When he starts speaking, he projects his voice with a pleasant and excited tone that conveys his passion.  From the start, he uses his hands, helping to interest the audience and draw their attention in.  His delivery makes him a likable presenter, and one that the audience is ready to listen to eagerly.

Green also includes many facts throughout his presentation, but they do not bore the audience.  Personally, I have no interest in wood, but he relates the topic to larger themes, such as sustainability, overpopulation, deforestation, and urbanization, topics that affect all of us and matters that concern everybody.  Then, he provides sweeping facts and statistics like the percentage of people living in cities (50%) and projections of future stats.  Green supports these facts with images and in order to really convey the importance and magnitude of the facts, he shows slides with the statistics written on them.  He also chooses images, keeping them in black and white and the text in color.  Furthermore, Green acknowledges the negatives associated with his proposal for wooden skyscrapers, and actually lists and addresses each possible point of downfall, drastically increasing his credibility.  His content compounded with his images and his accounting for setbacks makes his presentation effective and interesting for the audience to view.

Michael Green did a very good job on his presentation. The way how Michael talked and used hand gestures was constant movement and he never stopped using hand gestures. His power pose and body gesture was calm and really and not showing any weakness to the audience. Michael used really good slides but also showing a animated slide while hes talking for examples. Michael also mentions about green house gases and using some other method to replace green house gases. His voice projection was really calm but strong and he wants his audience to hear what he is saying but also leaving a message to the audience after his presentation.

Michael Green did a very well job in his presentation. He spoke with a calm demeanor, confidence, passion, and urgency. Green's use of hand motions and gestures was done very well, and he used them to get points across. Green doesn't depend on his slides and visuals, but instead uses them to add to his presentation, and he builds off of them and vice versa. He didn't stand in one place the whole time or speak in one tone, he actually moved across the stage and projected his voice and emphasized his voice when speaking on important information. Green got his audience involved with rhetorical questions, and delivered precise answers. Green proposed an ingenious solution to a growing problem in the world, and did so in a very professional manner.

Michael Green: Wooden Skyscraper Presentation

Michael Green's presentation embodied many techniques that the senior thesis class is striving to learn and any great presenter wants to take advantage of. I truly believe Green's slide design was a key portion of the impact he made on stage. The use of varying text size, text font, and colors within his slides allowed him to stress statistics that he could not with his voice and gave the audience a few more seconds to digest the statistic heavy presentation. I also believe his thesis was decent, but his incorporation of the thesis throughout the presentation is what made it better. Green continually referenced back to mother nature which really tied the presentation together and made the audience feel like his initiative was for the preservation of something so close to all of us. Finally, I think his voice projection was suitable. He stressed points that he needed to sink into the audience in order for the presentation to be successful and asked himself questions the audience was thinking and answered them in a soft but vibrant manner. He spoke with inflection appropriate to the content and was comforting to listen to. He often repeated the phrase "I believe" which was slightly inspiring and made me want to join in his journey to increase wooden skyscraper building projects. His movements and gestures on stage were minimal, but I think if there were much more it would have taken away from the somewhat calm presentation he had, and I overall think he did a fine job of presenting a thesis for an interesting but seldom thought of topic.

Michael Green: Vocal Projection/ Presentation

# data[].attributes.body
In Michael Green's presentation, he incorporated several techniques that make up a great presentation. Green's voice was calming and confident throughout his entire presentation. He used some inflection in his voice to emphasize certain facts. He also maintained a smile on his face as he touched on a somewhat serious topic about the environment. His voice provided a good outlet for his information as he words were smooth and understandable for the audience. In addition to excellent his vocal projection, his presentation was well-planned and clean. His presentation included visuals, statistics, and animations. All these elements helped communicate his information to the audience. The visuals were easy to follow and were not distracting as he continued to speak about his topic. With his voice and added visuals, Green presented a topic that some would find boring, in an interesting and captivating way.
