A Website Without Video is Like…

Posted on 23 May 2010 In: Multimedia
Jerry Bader asked:


Jell-O Without Whip Cream

Do you like Jell-O? It’s okay I guess; I mean it’s not a hot fudge sundae is it? But if you add a little whip cream, then my friend you’ve got something worth calling dessert. My question to you is, does your website have that something extra, that dollop of whip cream on top that says, “oh mama let me at it,” or does it just lie there squirming in your dish with the sound of Peggy Lee’s voice ringing in your ears, “is that all there is?”

If your website disappointments, you need something that provides the ‘eureka factor’ and that can be provided with a creative, informative Web-video.

The Chicago Bulls Without Michael Jordan

How the mighty have fallen, at least in terms of brand personality. I mean it’s not like the Chicago Bulls stink? It’s just that without MJ they’re not the Chicago Bulls of old. When Michael played we all watched, he was magic, he wasn’t just a great basketball player, he was a great personality and he gave the team it’s character; no Michael, no personality.

Is your website like the new Chicago Bulls, a talented group of players with skills but no singular personality? Time for a humanity injection, add a Web-video featuring a signature character host who can generate some excitement and establish your unique business personality.

Television Without Sound

You’re watching your favorite television show, say CSI, the Vegas one not Miami, and the phone rings. It’s your mother. You turn the television’s sound down so you can hear her but you’re still watching the show. You love your Mom but Grissom has just discovered a new miniature killer clue and you need to know what is going on, but your Mom is carrying on about how your Dad needs new dentures or something Frustrating. No audio, no information.

Does your website have the same effect as watching television without the sound. It’s there, people visit, but they leave without getting your message. Time to add a little life to your presentation in the form of a Web-video that tells your story out loud.

Words Without Meaning

Have you ever reread someone’s website copy several times and still not understood what the heck they’re trying to tell you, or maybe you understand every word but still can’t figure out what they’re selling?

Words have meaning, they are meant to convey a message not hide it. A lousy video script is no better than lousy print copy. Your Web-audience has no patience for mumbo-jumbo that masquerades as information or for text and dialog that says nothing in as many words as possible in an effort to attract the search engines. Words have meaning, say them with style and deliver them with conviction.

The Rumba Without Rhythm

Have you ever sat at a wedding and watched people dance? There are the people who know how to move, how to respond to the their partners and to communicate with the slightest of gestures or movements. And then there are the others who look like they’ve got something icky stuck to the bottom of their shoes and are trying desperately to remove it.

If you want to communicate to your audience, you have to use all the techniques available. Communication is more than just copy, its voice, gesture, movement and meaningful dialog.

Romance Without Kisses

Ah the first kiss, something special that can seal a relationship or sour it forever. Your landing page is like that first embrace. Is yours as exciting as it could be, or is it like the guy who spends the entire first date talking about his double entry booking keeping skills?

A well-crafted, expertly presented marketing message is like a seduction; if you’re not generating any excitement don’t expect to produce any sales either. Boring mission statement gobbledygook and keyword-laden palaver are not the same as an enticing video. An engaging business story, well told, is like a juicy wet-one planted right on your audience’s lips.

A Joke Without A Punch Line

Everybody likes a funny story. A good joke is nothing more than a short story with a set-up, an escalation, and a twist, but the real key to a good story lies in the telling. Even comedians with second-rate material can get their audience’s howling if they know how to deliver their material.

It’s all well and good to repeat the mantra, “websites are about content,” but if that content isn’t delivered with some style and panache, don’t expect anybody to pay much attention.

A Song Without A Hook

Hit songs are highly structured stories with verses that function as chapters or acts, and a chorus that provides the hook that sticks in your audience’s heads. Add a toe tapping beat and some instrumental flourishes and you’ve got something that people will listen to over and over again.

Does that sound like your website presentation? Are people willing to come back to your site just to watch your presentation, or does your website leave visitors with a ‘been there, done that’ impression?

Information Without Knowledge

Just because you’re in business doesn’t mean you’ve got to be boring. And just because you dump a lot of facts and figures and bulleted points onto your Web-pages doesn’t mean you’re making a convincing argument for anyone to buy your stuff.

Web audiences demand more. If you won’t give it to them, you can be sure someone else will, like maybe your competition.

Interactivity Without Purpose

Can we all just stop and take a breath and think about this whole interactivity thing. Let’s all get interactive, why? I mean what is interactivity anyway? Is it developing a hugely expensive game that people can play on your website to avoid working, or is it getting them to click on the “Tell Me More” button?

I vote for the interactivity that leads to opening a dialogue with a potential client, one that gets visitors to pick up the phone and call you to discuss their needs, not the one that generates a “Game Over” message. Of course that assumes you’re willing to actually talk to customers.

Frequency Without Resonance

I happened to like vinegar on my fries, okay it’s weird I admit it, but the Dutch like mayonnaise on theirs, even weirder. I once had a chef in a Tucson restaurant come out of the kitchen and confront me when I asked the waiter for vinegar (it’s a Canadian thing). The chef approached the table and asked who ordered the vinegar? I reluctantly raised my hand. “You must be from Canada,” he said, “I’m from Victoria, where you from?”

Good advertising is all about delivering a message that resonates with your audience. It doesn’t matter how many times you run an advertisement if that advertisement doesn’t make an impression on your audience. You can’t be afraid to be creative or even a bit weird.

Humor Without Laughter

Dr. Max Sutherland in his e-mail newsletter report, “False Alarm Theory: How Humorous Ads Work” describes how laughter is a hardwired residual mechanism that developed in our ape days as an ‘all clear’ signal once a danger had past. The ‘all clear’ message is passed on from one ape to another, until the entire troop is screeching with the ecstasy of survival.

A guy slips on a banana and breaks his neck – that’s not funny. A guy slips on a banana, jumps up and looks around to see if anybody saw – that’s funny. Humor is based on creating some sense of uncertainty or tension that is ultimately relieved with a humorous punch line or comforting resolution. The safe or amusing resolution creates a chain reaction in the audience that signals, “hay guys, all is well; everything is back to normal.”

Without tension there can be no relief, no opportunity for an entertaining resolution that creates a cascading viral reaction among your audience. So don’t expect your website to be passed on to friends and colleagues unless you deliver a compelling presentation that offers the opportunity to signal the rest of the world that all is well.


Easy Writing Guide For a Best Man Speech With Jokes

Posted on 23 May 2010 In: Weddings
John W Dixon asked:


You can be humorous in writing your best man speech with jokes and anecdotes to help you tell your story. It is easy to write funny toasts and speeches if you have some tips and tricks to help guide you in writing.

I am not a professional wedding speech writer. I am also a best man like you. I wrote my best man speech with funny jokes in a few hours after reading some guide online. I know that you too can write your own humorous speech and toasts. Just follow the tips and tricks that I will enumerate below.

So without further ado, let me share some of the wedding speech writing tips that I learned on the web.

1. Make a draft of your best man speech. Remember that you don’t have to worry about grammar or spelling at first. The draft was meant to be full of mistakes. However, if you think that your drafts are full of spelling and grammatical errors, then you must know that you will have to edit and re-edit it to perfection.

2. Use short sentences when filling your paragraphs. Just use 3 to 4 sentences when populating your paragraphs to keep your speech short and simple. You have to know how to keep everything short because you don’t want to tell a 5 minute story with a lame punchline at the end.

3. Engage your listeners/audience by using colorful and descriptive words. Use the old creative writing adage – show, don’t tell. It sounds hard to do but all you really need to use are metaphors and imagery to help people visualize what you are saying.

4. Do not use fancy words so as not to alienate your audience. Just use regular, conversational English and you will not go wrong. Using fancy words that can only be found in the dictionary or thesaurus is more annoying than entertaining.

5. Rehearse your speech with someone else. If you have someone that you can practice your speech then it will be very beneficial for editing your work, and even to see immediate reactions to your jokes.

It’s great top rehearse with one or two of your family or friends. It will make the speech writing process faster and much more dynamic.

So you see, writing a best man speech with jokes are as easy as ABC. I tried all the tips above and I made a good delivery at my friend’s wedding. If you need more professional speech writing guide then just click http://www.weddingspeechesforall.com


How to be Cocky & Funny

Posted on 20 May 2010 In: Art And Entertainment
Dan Bacon asked:


The combination of being cocky and funny (C&F) at the same time is like rocket fuel in terms of sparking attraction with women.

It’s very powerful.

Cocky & Funny basically means to use arrogant but humorous behavior and words.

Because of the inclusion of arrogance, insecure or ’self-hating’ women usually don’t respond well to it. They may feel that you are too good for them and will often become too nervous/intimidated around you, or try to verbal spar with you by over-using cocky & funny in return.

However, once you learn how to communicate in this way, you will notice that the beautiful and sought-after women will suddenly start paying a lot more attention to you and treating you very differently.

They will say things like, “Wow, you’re different than most guys I meet” which can be translated to “Wow, you’re not trying to **** up to me like every other guy. Nor are you trying to kiss up to me because I’m beautiful. I don’t even know if you really want me…do you like me? Somehow, I feel like I’m going to have to impress YOU in order for you to like me…I’m intrigued!”

Here’s an example of cocky & funny lines in action:

Her: Hey, you’re a really interesting guy…I like that.

You: Thanks, but compliments like that will get you nowhere with me okay? I’m not sleeping with you tonight. I’m not that easy.

Her: Haha!

You: I mean, I have feelings y’know? I’m not just a piece of meat!

Her: Haha! I can’t believe you just said that!

What she means is, “I like it, please treat me like that again!”

A guy who is clueless about flirting with women will think that he offended her and quickly say something to withdraw the cocky & funny comment.

Clueless guy: Oh no, I was just kidding!

Woman: Oh, okay…hehe.

What she really means is, “Oh, okay…so you don’t have any balls after all? Well, I guess you can be my new girlfriend. Let’s continue laughing together you little girly-man.

I just lost a massive amount of attraction for you. You’re the kind of guy who’d be all soppy in the bedroom and your nice, placid behavior would turn me off.

If I were to actually hook up with you, I’d be the one ‘wearing the pants’ in the relationship and frankly, I’d prefer to be in a relationship with a man, not a woman.”

Now, you might be reading about being cocky & funny with women and thinking, “There’s no way I could pull off the cocky and funny attitude. I don’t know that a woman likes me for sure, so why would I risk her laughing at me for suggesting such a thing?”

Change your mindset and realize that ocky and funny is simply the language of verbal flirting.

If you use cocky and funny lines and behaviors in the right way, a woman will know that you’re flirting.

Now, you might also be thinking, “Well, I don’t want to act like that…I just want to be myself.”

Then you’d better get used to achieving the same old results that you always have with women!

If your current behaviors aren’t getting you the results you desire, you need to change the way you interact with women.

“I **** Men Who…”

Women will often test your motives by making comments like, “I **** it when men stare at me like I’m just a piece of meat. I want a guy who actually cares about me and wants to take care of me.”

Comments like those are perfect opportunities for you to be cocky & funny.

A girly-man will lie and respond by trying to prove that he is the ideal guy for her, “Yeah, I know…guys only care about one thing. I’m not like that at all…”

Don’t respond like that. Don’t be ashamed to be man.

Be honest about your desires for women while being playful. Women appreciate it, BIG TIME. They also place you in a different category (potential lover) to the girly-men (potential friend).

Here are some cocky & funny lines you can use as a reply to such a comment. Remember, be playful when saying them:

- You obviously don’t know men very well. We’re all like that.

- *Yawn*…boring. Have you finished yet?

- You: But…I’m confused now…

Her: Why?

You: Well…because you are just a piece of meat! :) I know, I know – there’s SO much more to you than your looks and body…and you probably have an awesome personality too, I’m sure of it. But, at this stage, I still only see you as a piece of meat.

Remember: Once again, be PLAYFUL with cocky & funny. It’s not meant to hurt women or demean them, it’s meant to be FUN.

With the last cocky and funny line above, you should be smiling and JOKING.

Enjoy!


Killer Best Man Speeches: Part 1

Posted on 19 May 2010 In: Weddings
David Black asked:


Let’s get straight to the point here: Great best man speeches can be tricky to pull off unless you prepare well. It’s one of your main duties as best man to deliver an entertaining speech that’s memorable for all the right reasons, so you’re bound to be a little nervous or anxious to do a good job. Good preparation for public speaking is the ultimate killer of nerves. Here’s how to make sure you’re confident and ready to do your audience proud…



Learn your lines. A good way to do this is to practise at home, in front of people. It might feel weird doing this at first, but it’s a great way of getting used to your routine.

Avoid drinking too much alcohol until after the speech. That way you’ll have your head together and be able to remember your lines easily. It’ll also save a lot of embarassment if things go wrong.

Say it with a smile – If you look like you don’t really want to be standing there giving a speech, your audience will feel awkward.

What ever you say, say it with a smile. You’ll feel better, makes it much easier for your audience to laugh at your jokes.



Use plenty of one-liners and funny stories to spice things up a little – it’s your job to entertain.

Don’t waffle or go on for too long.

NEVER mention the groom’s ex wife or ex girlfriends!





There are plenty of places online to find good material for your speech. Take a look at this best man speeches page for some more useful tips on delivering a successful speech.


Are auburn jokes really bad jokes?

Posted on 19 May 2010 In: Humor
Jhoana Cooper asked:


It seems that auburn jokes are taking the world by storm, much the same way that blonde jokes were a decade ago. Auburn beauties are envied by some and seen as temperamental by others. Some of the really bad jokes about auburns tend to focus on Lindsay Lohan, of whom there is enough material for an entire joke category.

So what is a blonde in a room full of auburns? Invisible. This is one of the auburn jokes that went around about brunettes years ago. Some of the jokes are considered funny, especially if they are one liners. Bad jokes tend to take up too much time and do not make sense. Unlike blonde jokes, auburn jokes often have to rely on the other person thinking that auburn haired women – and yes, the jokes are usually about women – have a certain personality. Many of the bad jokes about auburns are really just blonde jokes in disguise.

Auburns have had an easy time of it up until now. The world was so focused on blonde and brunette jokes that auburns were ignored. This left an entire joke category open to those who write jokes. With famous auburn haired women such as the notorious Lindsay Lohan bursting onto the scene and wreaking havoc wherever she goes, attention was soon diverted to auburn jokes as well as auburn haired women. Many of these jokes are disparaging to those with auburn hair just as blonde jokes are disparaging, in many cases, to blondes. But most people who listen to these bad jokes and who have auburn hair love the jokes. Many feel that it is about time that those with auburn hair got some attention in the joke world.

Bad jokes come in two categories – bad because they are not funny and bad because they are offensive. Most people who make these bad jokes do not mean to offend. Jokes are meant to be taken lightly and most people will laugh the hardest when the joke is directed towards their group. Most blondes get a kick out of blonde jokes just as auburns get a kick out of auburn jokes.

The funny thing about jokes, no pun intended, is that they can usually be rearranged to fit any group of people. How many auburns does it take to change a light bulb? The answer can be 10 – one to hold the bulb and 9 to turn the ladder. This is an example of one of the bad jokes that have been labeled at just about every ethnic group as well blondes. .

If you are looking for jokes, even bad jokes, you can find them by going online. The great thing about the internet is that you can have a ton of information right at your fingertips. So go and find some jokes and then tell them to the auburn haired people you know. It is all in fun.


3 Rules for Writing Articles

Posted on 19 May 2010 In: Humor
Jim DeSantis asked:


Writing articles is nothing more than common sense coupled with a spell-checker program and a little imagination plus the 3 Rules I am about to share with you. First, though, let me tell you about how a high school dropout learned how to write by copying former CBS News Anchor, Walter Cronkite and by using his local newspaper. All he did was apply the “3 Rules for Writing Articles”.

I know you want to know the rules right now, right? Let me say, these are not my rules. These are rules known by all good writers. I did not invent them. They were taught to me and I simply use them every day.

Here they are:

Rule #1 – “Tell them what you are going to tell them”. This, of course, is your headline, like my headline – “3 Rules for Writing Articles”.

Rule #2 – “Tell them”. I am already doing that, right? I started with the first sentence at the beginning of this article and I am telling you right now!

Rule #3 – “Tell them what you told them”. This is the summary, a sentence or sentences that bring the whole point of the article into focus to give you something to remember. This Rule is applied at the end.

Back to our high school dropout.

He simply took a cheap tape recorder, recorded Mr. Cronkite’s newscast every evening, played it back and typed exactly what Mr. Cronkite said. He studied it to see how the three rules applied. He did this over and over and over until he could write his own version of the story. When he felt confident, he showed his work to his wife and best friends for critique. He even recorded himself saying the stories into that little recorder, over and over and over. His dream was to be a radio newsman.

Our high school dropout also took the daily newspaper and re-wrote lots and lots of stories, reorganizing the facts, creating his own catchy headlines. Most important? He applied the “3 Rules” to every article. When he had articles he had some confidence in, he showed them to his wife and best friends for critique. He followed the 3 Rules for several months, working on his writing after getting home from his regular factory job in the evenings. He did this for hours and hours and hours. Practice, practice, practice!

So, where did all this hard work get him? You will be amazed!

Our high school dropout landed a part time job on Sunday mornings as an on-air newsman at a local radio station! His writing and passable radio voice got him that job. His fellow factory workers laughed at him. Made jokes. “You? Come on, get real!”. But, did he quit there? No! He kept working on his writing and voice delivery. Hours and hours and hours!

Within 3 months he was full time on the graveyard shift. He quit the factory job and sold cars during the day to make up the difference in income between the factory and Radio.

About 3 months later he was on days, Monday through Friday, in prime afternoon drive-time! He quit selling cars because he was earning more than the factory job. Within 2 years he was a local TV News Anchorman! Two years later he was Anchorman and News Director!

Now, I must point out another key factor in his success. Many professional broadcasters and writers helped him grow along the way. He was never afraid to ask for help with how to improve his writing and delivery on-air. Pride never got in his way. The pro’s were more than willing to offer advice and valuable tips! It was better than a college education.

Now, you may be thinking, “Jim, you made this guy up. This story is unbelievable”.

Well, friend, that high school dropout is me!

My broadcast news career spanned more than 15 years. I won several national, state, and local reporting awards. I was a paid stringer for Associated Press and United Press International.

Need proof? On my main blog (see Author Box), you will find a photo of me posing with Walter Cronkite in a promotional session for my news program. Imagine that! I actually got to meet and have dinner with my idol who was then my peer!

I also have promotional photos with Mike Wallace, Dan Rather, Diane Sawyer and photos with many other famous people. I have interviewed every type of news maker from Presidents of the United States to killers. I have rubbed elbows with movie stars, the rich and famous, and with folks at the Soup Kitchen. It has been a great life!

Am I bragging? Maybe. But, the point is, the “3 Rules for Writing Articles” plus determination and practice helped me to become a successful writer and news reporter. They will help you, too! I have given you the starting point. You can find other writing guides on my main blog that will help you become an accomplished writer as well. And, in case you have not guessed, I have just completed the “Tell them what you told them” rule!

Yours for success!

Jim DeSantis

A Simple Video Blogging Start Up Guide

Posted on 18 May 2010 In: Computer Games
Terry Leslie asked:


Text blogging has served many e-commerce companies very well. Text blogging has opened up a new client base, offered a chance for the company to do some valuable self promotion, and of course, has been a fun way to enhance the e-business community. However, the video is now trying to get in on its share of the action. Video blogging offers the same benefits of text blogging with a lot more pizzazz and a little more bang. Many companies are now starting video blogs that can either be clicked on directly or may be shown as part of their home page for the accidental tourist web surfer.

Video blogging is bound to increase in popularity. There are fewer limitations in video blogging than text offers. For instance, if you wanted to attract a specific age group, you might come out with a silly blog backed by some popular music or you might back your video blog with some light classical to attract another age group. Your video blog will allow you to create messages that are directly specified to your target audience.

Video blogging allows you to show off a product line, a pay out scale, or any other aspect of your business with a little more creative expression. Text does not allow the user to hear vocal tone, expression, or hear any of the audio cues that can signal sarcasm, gently humor, or even anger or disappointment.

Think of video blogging the same way you would think about doing a specific television commercial for your intended audience. However, not only are you doing it for less, you are able to use a wider base to reach more people and there are fewer restrictions… although I wouldn’t recommend being offensive. What video blogging allows you to do is take more risks (humor, visually, etc) than you could ever even consider when using just text blogging.

Your product or products often end up being almost secondary. If you can offer your audience a well thought out and creative approach, many people will order on the spot based on the rapport you are able to develop just with a single video blog. And best of all, with a few pieces of specialized equipment you can do it yourself in your own home without having to shell out rentals for space and equipment.

If you are going to produce your own video blog, pay attention to the lighting you have available. Natural light enhanced through some strong spot lighting often works best. Using a high quality web cam prevents distortion and quality sound equipment (sound is optional) will prevent feedback.

You will need some video editing software to help clean up your production. Again, since you can do this yourself, you are saving a fortune on what would otherwise be professional services for editing, writing, and filming. This very simple procedure requires nothing more than the ability to think creatively, good equipment, and the ability to read the directions that come with all pieces of equipment or software.

Not everyone is into video blogging, and that’s ok. Targeting your demographic is vital to creating a successful video blogging experience. Once you know who, how, when, and where, the why pretty much becomes an incidentally answered question. Motivate people and you will make more sales. Entertain people, and your sales will also increase. Enjoy yourself, have fun, and encourage people to be a better race your sales will fly through the roof.

When creating a video blog, don’t be afraid to take a few chances. However, if you have any question in your mind that you might accidentally offend someone, start from scratch. Sometimes what starts off as a little side joke turns into someone’s political persecution. Stay far away from any type of ethnic, sexual, or remedial jokes and improves.

Change your video blog regularly. Once your people have seen it once they are going to start pining for something different. Keep your clientele well entertained and your sales will reflect your efforts. If you have numerous demographics to reach, you might want to rotate which demographic you are reaching. Chronically changing your video blog will also help to keep your general audience entertained. A person can only watch a rerun so many times before they know the ending by heart.


Funny is Money

Posted on 14 May 2010 In: Art And Entertainment
Thom McFadden asked:


ef=”http://lifestand.com/articles/funny-is-money” title=”Permanent Link to Funny is Money”>Funny is Money

Today lets chat about why funny is moneyand break this down.

CHA-HA-HA-CHING!

In any relationship, be it professional or personal, humor can be part of the glue that holds it together and moves it forward. Making a customer laugh can get a waitress a bigger tip. A humorous salesman can relax the customers and make them less critical, hostile or aggressive. For actors, the ability to make others laugh can be essential in getting ahead – in casting sessions, the actor most likely to book the part is the actor with a sense of humor because he will be fun to work with on the set. With friends, family or spouses, humor can disarm a tense situation and lead to a more relaxed environment where honest communication is possible. When you make other people laugh you, relax them and yourself.

BENEFITS OF HUMOR

* Humor is health

physically, mentally, and emotionally If youve ever had a good belly laugh and felt GREAT afterwards, then you understand the physical effect of humor on your mental and emotional state. And, since the physical act of laughter also has great health benefits, when you make others laugh they instinctively know you are good for them. Laughter causes the full action of the diaphragm, thus benefiting the whole cardiovascular system, because of the amount of oxygen taken in during laughter. Endorphins kick in, boosting your mood whether you like it or not. And, during laughter, the whole body is revitalized by an internal massage! When you laugh, you cant help but feel better; your body wont have it any other way.

*Humor is empowerment

Because when you are funny, it gives the appearance of being in control of the situation. This puts people at ease.

OK! you say, sounds good, but how do I get to be funny?

BEING FUNNY

Think funny! Humor is easier to recognize than to analyze. Who makes you laugh? Imagine their face now. Doesnt just thinking about them make you feel good?

So, be like a writer. Writers are told to write about what they know; laugh about what you know. Look at life with your eyes wide open. Observe yourself or anything closely enough, and youll soon find something funny about it – guaranteed! Humor can be from any source, from anything, and from anyone. Its a universal language, which can be adapted to any situation.

Then share your humor! Tell your latest joke – share a funny story. I always make my students learn to tell three jokes so they can understand rhythm and timing, they also learn to externalize their humor (you will get more laughter if you are animated so get your hands and face involved), and theyve always got at least a joke handy if they dont know what else to say.

Choose the type of humor that stretches your comfort zone. But protect yourself and be tasteful: Swearing is just a chicken sh*t way to shock the mind.

REVEALING HUMOR

To reveal humor you need to know the three different flows of rhythm that run through your body: flying, flowing, and molding.

If youre familiar with the television series Seinfeld, you find all three. The entrepreneurial neighbor, Kramer, is flying. His movements are staccato (sharp, snappy); hes all over the place. Jerry Seinfeld is flowing. Everything rolls off his tongue, and his rhythm is legato (smooth uninterrupted movements). And hapless George Costanzawell, hes molding. Molding demonstrates the least motion of the three types of energy. Someone who is molding stands in one place, acting as the fulcrum of the energy that they project to the audience.

Try it yourself: model Kramers rhythm. Make bird-like, staccato movements. Fly in your living room! Feel the emotion that is aroused. Youll start talking faster and gesturing more. Or try flowing like Jerry with uninterrupted, legato movements. See how charming you become. Literally float your body around as you talk and move like youre in a swimming pool.
