FUN AND INTERESTING MEDIA Week 5, 6, 7, 8, 12

Greetings!!

So today, we're going to be doing something a little different. Rather than recreate 4 separate articles that got lost somewhere in the cyber verse, I'm going to combine these 4 weeks in one GIANT segment of FUN AND INTERESTING MEDIA!

Today's segment was not provided by ENDS 101, rather I happened upon it myself!!

Ambassador of Inspiration: James Arnold Taylor at TEDxRainier REVIEW

"In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)"

So let's get started! This video was so inspirational and TRANSFORMING haha get it get it, watch the video then you'll see ;) First and foremost, James Arnold Taylor( whom i'll be referring to as JAT) is a favorite voice actor of mine and such a nice man. He voices some of my favorite characters, such as Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, from Cartoon Network's Star Wars The Clone Wars.

He starts so strong, I was drawn straight away, and his energy is just so positive throughout the whole thing!

My favorite part(s) were when JAT was imitating voices and doing little skits, even though the audience seemed like a tough crowd, I loved the way JAT handled everything!! Another favorite part was when he spoke about his experience with his voice. You truly felt the emotion in his words, and the pain he felt when he told he would not be able to speak again. But then...the energy changed again, and he told us how this experience transformed him, and how he learned from this experience, rather than let this bring him down.

I love superheroes so when JAT started to talk about how he loved superheroes too and kryptonite, my love of him grew!! He said to find your kryptonite and be weary of it like superman, to make sure it won't bring you down, and I definitely agree with him. Plus, I'd like to add the kryptonite he was talking about doesn't have to be just one thing, it can be several, besides there are several different kinds of Kryptonite Superman has to worry about!

JAT is incredibly talented, and I love hearing him speak. He is so awesome and inspirational! He really knows how to reach out to people! Which is a really admirable trait in a person. Another admirable trait in a celebrity is one of cherishing his family. When JAT spoke about his family, I could tell that his face lit up, and he was filled with pride and joy, which I really enjoyed :)

He closed his TED talk with some words of inspiration and encouragement, and used another voice impression to emphasize his point, JAT truly was meant to bless the world with his voice and entertain us in every way possible. I'm glad I could hear his message and keep it with me for the days ahead!
