It is intimidating to memorize every little piece of it, and Leonard seemed pretty stressed out. A TEDx Talk has to be 18 minutes or less, and if you are not an experienced speaker, this can seem like forever. One thing Leonard had a lot of difficulty doing the first time he tried giving his talk, was remembering all the key components in the right order. Think of the sections of your talk as sequential steps. If you are sharing a part of your story that is supposed to be fun, uplifting and/or inspirational, pick up the pace, smile and bring energy to the words. If you are talking about sad memories, you would want to lower your pace, lower your tone, make a softer body language movement, and lower your voice a little. Your emotions should match the situation. Instead of just reading your script off of your paper, try to recall what your feelings are at the time of the story or section that you're describing. You have to really buy into and reel in those emotions. But, when you're making a serious talk like what he was, you can't be laughing and joking around.
He didn’t seem to be taking it seriously. Leonard was smiling at the sad moments and laughing over them. When Leonard was reading this script, he was just telling. Buy into the emotions of what you're talking about. These are the 5 steps you need to take to deliver an amazing presentation, even if you’re nervous as hell.
