Even though this is probably the most unnecessary thing for me to do, I made another vlog going over my presentation, just for fun. In it, I address my general talk theme as well as how well I think I executed the TED Commandments. However, I the rest of this blog aside from the video, will go more specifically into the details of my talk. So without further adieu:
(aka: Liv embarrasses herself on the internet, one last time)
(it's a bit lengthy, but I promise it's worth it! I mean, who doesn't want to see me be awkward on screen?)
(but if it really is too long... you can always skip the TED evaluation and just watch, like, the last 5 minutes)
So, hopefully you've come to this point having watched the vlog, if not: WATCH IT! *cough* Anyways, I think my presentation had a lot of really good metaphors that helped reinforce and concretize this abstract idea of 'foundation.' With something as vague as that, I'm pretty satisfied with how I incorporated my Genius Project into it, as well as other things that my audience could relate to. As mentioned in the vlog, I think the commentary on the education system and how students stop valuing full comprehension and continue to progress through school was a nice touch.
LASTLY, I'm really glad with my script. I think I used some really good metaphors that helped concretize the abstract idea of foundation. Overall, I'm really proud of myself today, and I am truly proud of this project; it's unlike anything I've ever done before, and I'm glad I can close the door on it satisfied.
As always, the reed means a lot to me. Thanks for sticking with me; it's been one hell of a *concert.

HEY!!! {]:D I'm so proud of you, Liv!! Way to take that Extra Mile even after everything is over! I'm not entirely sure what's going on and what post I'm even supposed to comment on but here I am. I'm sure your talk was A+ amazing, and I really wish I had seen it!! Honestly I can vaguely recall the first day you ~pitched~ the idea of learning how to play the oboe, so this has been one heckin of a journey. I've seen my son grow up into fine cuisine ! It's so cool that you took the so called "failure" and turned it into a success, because honestly it's more of a success than a failure, and I'm glad, most of all, that YOU are happy with yourself!!

Thanks so much!!! And really? You remember that! Wow. A good ole time. Thanks again, ahh!
DeleteI didn't see your presentation but I wish I could have. I heard it went pretty well and your blog seems to back up that claim. I don't think you need to worry about how you did in regards to playing because you sounded ok the day we rehearsed. Lastly, I think it's great that you were able to get some closure on the project and finish satisfied with yourself. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex! I'm sure your's went well, too. So... when can I hire DJ-enerate for my next party?
DeleteCongratulations on finishing the TEDTalk and making an entire new vlog to go over it (so extra, I love it)! Like the above comments, unfortunately I was unable to see your talk, but I did hear you talk about making reeds at Montco and if you talked with even half as much passion as you did then I'm sure it was absolutely fantastic! Congrats again, and I look forward to hearing about future adventures with your reeds (if you continue to make them that is). Great job!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, thanks mom! I do plan on continuing to make reeds, and I hope to maybe, possibly, perhaps have one for the spring concert :)
DeleteHey Olivia! I (like everyone else here,) would like to congratulate you on your talk, as it truly was incredible. It's been amazing seeing you evolve over the course of this project, and I admired the optimism and perseverance that you showed through everything. I hope you continue to make reeds, and that eventually you can use them and make that fabulous oboe sound even more awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Ali! Your talk was also so, so good, and I really appreciate your comment. :]
