1. (Director, Producer
Andrew Screenwriter, voice actor)
Stanton:
The clues to a
great story

2. Thesis
“The greatest story
commandment is this:
Make me care.”

3. Andrew started off his speech by building up a joke that got
a huge number of laughs, which then led him to explain to
the audience that “storytelling is joke-telling.”

4. Andrew continuously kept the
audience’s attention through the
use of various movie clips that
illustrated the main ideas of his
speech.

5. Andrew’s use of real-life
examples, minimal usage of
presentation slides, and humor
further solidifies the overall
idea of what makes a
good story

6. III
Thou shalt
reveal thy
curiosity and
thy passion.
Andrew best follows
the third commandment.
Throughout his speech, he
clearly displays his excitement
and inspiration with every life
experience he brings up.
The best example would be when
he tells the audience about how
seeing Bambi as a child filled him
with a sense of wonder and
amazement.

7. In terms of dynamism, I give Andrew Stanton:
5
out of
5

8. With the exception of one or two word stumbles,
he spoke confidently and made sure that what he
was saying was reaching to his audience.
His tone was consistent
throughout, and he
also had his pauses
properly timed.
The decision to open up with a joke not just to
entertain, but to illustrate a strong point was a
great way to grab the audience's attention. He also
maintained a positive and passionate attitude.

9. The only thing I would say about Andrew’s presentation in terms of
improving dynamism is to move around little bit more to get a better feel for the audience
and not seem as stiff. But this is just a minor complaint.

10. Spread ideas and
Andrew displayed great use
move people of Durate’s Second Rule. The
clips that he presented were
the right ones to show how
an excellent situation/story
can move an audience and
make them feel for
characters.
(A good example is when he showed
Bambi, you could hear the audience
give out a collective “Aww” when they
see him stumbling on the ice)

11. Naturalness
One of the tips mentioned by
Garr Reynolds, I felt that
Andrew did give off a good
sense of Naturalness. While
most public speakers often
times feel formal and
professional, I felt that Andrew had a good
blend of both professionalism and
casualness. It never felt as if he was in a
meeting, it felt as though he was
genuinely sharing his experiences
with the audience

12. One of the things I learned
from watching Andrew is to
make sure that I read over my
speech before hand and to
make as much eye contact
with the audience as possible.

13. Another big thing that I
learned was that it’s ok to
open up with a joke or two
and that public speaking
doesn’t have to be so formal
and serious all the time.

14. Unlike Andrew, Ken Robinson’s way
of presenting is more factual and
analytical. Ken is also a little bit more
formal and organized and doesn’t
stumble over his sentences. Whereas
Andrew had to look down more to
read parts of his speech, Ken had his
eye contact with the audience for
most of his speech

15. Both Andrew and Ken decide to inject
humor into their speeches, making sure
that the audience holds interest. Both
of them also speak confidently out to
their audience and have an air of
relaxation. They are afraid to share
their own life experiences to the
audience as well

16. When it comes to public speaking, don’t be afraid to
inject a little humor into your speech to keep the
audience engaged. Be loose and don’t be too rigid or
nervous; talk the audience as if you’re having a
conversation so you’re not as distanced from them.
One last thing: be passionate about what you’re
presenting, the audience will feel that genuine
enthusiasm and be invested in what you have to say.
