Al Gore WeDay Speech

   Al Gore, former us vice president and activist delivered a speech at We Day, Winnipeg.  The amazing speaker delivered his speech being very calm, using emphasis, using affective pauses and eye contact with the audience.  These are things that improve his career as an activist and make him one of the greatest public speakers introduced to this blog.

During the speech, Al Gore stayed calm, but still showing emotion during the entire speech.  Having lots of experience, the expert speaker remained at peace in front of the grand audience of thousands of screaming and cheering teenagers.  Although, he did do this with sufficient of emotion.  This improved the speech because the speech was a very emotional one.  These are key things to making the speech affective on the audience.

Also in the speech, Al Gore used hand gestures as a component to the delivery of the speech.  It was usually affective (when he was counting, emphasising, etc.) but could sometimes be a bit more like flapping hand motions.  Also during the presentation, Al Gore used affective pauses that held the audience in suspense.  Then sometimes talked fast making the crowd take in the information at a varied rate.  Keeping the emphasis, pace and gestures make the speech more interesting in many different ways.

Al Gore is one of the best public speakers introduced to this group.  I think that this group can learn many great things from this speaker.  Being able to maintain calm, use gesture properly, use affective pauses, and using emphasis are many things that all great public speaker know.
