I am Brazilian and I listen to his speeches to study English. He expresses himself clearly, speaks slowly, and it’s easy to follow what he wants to say. The best English teacher in my opinion.😊
Really like the examples … editing Obama into a series of quotes illustrating the same theme is fantastic! Wish there were more examples of his humor strung together
Obama is literally one of the best speaker. I don’t agree with his politics,but I am not taking his speaking skills away from him, teleprompter or not, doesn’t matter. Great speaker
Great video, Michael! Can’t go wrong with learning from the GOAT 😍 question for you personally, I noticed that your hand gestures were pretty animated throughout the video. Is that something you consciously try to do for videos? I ask bc I LOVE in person interviews bc it’s so much easier to build rapport in person but I have zoom interviews coming up and I’m looking for ways to improve engagement thru the camera
@djsgolfer714 I've gotten a LOT of feedback on my hand gestures this video 😂I can't help it, it's an extension of the energy that I feel when speaking. Since many people found it distracting, I was more mindful of it in recording my most recent video (3 reasons why public speaking will change your life) So it's actually the opposite, I have to consciously *not* try to use so many hand gestures. The biggest tip I can give you for Zoom interviews is to up your energy level. Practice speaking with emotion. You may want to watch the "how to speak with conviction" video on our channel in case it helps, as well as the "how to stand out in a job interview" video. Hope it's valuable to you! Good luck with the interview process, keep me updated on how it goes
I can't find the link to receive the e-book Secrets to Speaking Under Pressure mentioned in the video. I see the link to the email course but not the e-book. I'm sure it's here somewhere...
Exactly what I've noticed! Barack's speaking style is engaging and relatable. I remember how he uses summary prompts to capture attention-it's such a simple yet effective technique. His analogies, like comparing us to chimps, really make complex ideas accessible. Joining the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x taught me that being vulnerable and showing humor connects us with others. It’s all about being authentic! Keep honing your skills, and you'll find your unique voice, just like Obama does in his conversations. Authenticity really is key in great communication!

@@Ultraspeaking your analysis was clear, structured and useful to anyone who needs to communicate in an memorable and impactful way, to groups small and large, or even one person in an interview. So thank YOU!
Thank you for the good points, if I may, perhaps you should avoid the constant movement of your arms and hands for every word you say, it distracts the concentration of watching your video presentation to the point that it prompts me to cover the bottom part of the screen to only see you from your shoulders up. Ironically the same tendency to use arms and hands movements to reinforce the spoken word is used by Hakeem Jeffries, the democratic leader of the House of Representatives, an excellent communicator and leader otherwise.
thanks for the suggestion Rodolfo. I agree -- especially when I watch the intro, I'm noticing a lot of arm movement. It's something I'll be mindful of moving forward!
Isn’t a basic lesson in public speaking to use your mouth more than your hands (unless you’re Italian, that is). I’d say you have plenty of room for improvement in getting your hand-waving more under control.
He needs to learn how to form a sentence first. He says “I have all the best words” which in and of itself is a very strange sentence to say; not to mention that he uses and pronounces words and names incorrectly.
Being overly, inappropriately informal should be one of your points. You keep calling him “Barack”. Unless you are a close personal friend, he should be addressed as President Obama or Mr. Obama. Respect, man.
I saw her "open" for him in a Grand Hyatt New York ballroom in 2007. She killed it - he was weaker by comparison. She just has more natural confidence. I think it's called "dad who loves you." That's my guess. I say this with compassion. He's still great though, overall.
President Obama is an excellent orator and a great example of a leader and phenomenal human being! He is the epitome of president…unlike the embarrassment called Donald Trump!
Obama is likable and a great orator, but is factually in error making half the nation upset. Interesting that Obama made the analogy for the legal checklist for using legal force to chimps since he is completely wrong on the law in this matter. Lawful gun owners have a long checklist before using lethal force that is anything but chimp like. For example, is there a 1. real risk of substantial bodily harm, 2. is it reasonable to be in fear of injury, 3. is there subjective fear, 4. can I retreat, 5. was I the aggressor, 6. can a non-lethal option be used to control the threat, etc. Gee, what if the conservatives tried to be likable, charismatic and great orators then maybe their arguments would be more popular and they would win more elections rather than being aggressive, irritating and threatening?
What you are deliberately overlooking, perhaps because you practice it and teach it because it is what brings money to you, is the hypocrisy, the insincerity of all speakers trying to blindfold his audience through psychological manipulation. You call that a great asset, perhaps because your standards are not up to the challenge.
Of course he can. He’s been interviewed countless times in informal settings where the entire conversation was off the cuff. Also Q & A at news conferences. Elegant speech always.
He can. More likely forget a few points. I give 2 hour long lectures on a methodology I invented and I use notes. Do you want to be accurate? Or say you did it all without a teleprompter?
That’s a silly statement. Most people use teleprompters when giving speeches (or notes, back in the day). Speeches are designed. If you are comparing this to Trump, who does also use have written speeches on teleprompters, but ignores them - Trump is more like a stand up comedian with a line up of talking points in his head. He looks for things that gel with his audience. That’s why he sounds completely insane to any one who thinks about what he actually is saying
It’s nothing in this video. He’s naturally a good speaker. It’s all about confidence. Giving examples mostly annoys others. Also you should notice he’s not a good listener and often his interviewers don’t feel comfortable with him. He is a powerful speaker not a meaningful speaker.
Are you crazy? I’m constantly asked for examples when I speak. And he’s not there to listening to someone else--HE is the one being interviewed and expected to give a full and thorough answer to even the shortest question. He’s a journalist’s dream interviewee! Yes, I have a degree in journalism. And as a college professor, I give lectures on a regular basis.
He’s a unanimous-jury convicted felon and can’t enter 18 major countries even if his convictions are overturned. “Have you ever been convicted of a felony,” is required to enter other countries, even as POTUS. Nobody cares if it’s been overturned. Total embarrassment for the U.S. Reagan most be rolling over in his grave:
Why do you want a president who can’t enter 18 major countries because he’s got 34 unanimous-jury felony convictions? It makes no difference if they’re overturned or if he follows through on what he said and declares himself dictator on Day One-he still can’t enter the UK, all of Europe and most of Asia. Why do you want to ruin America’s ability to lead the world? Without a president who can go visit other countries to sign trade agreements and such, our economy is ruined. Mad Max World here we come.

(1) Summary prompts.
(2) Analogies & examples.
(3) Be vulnerable.
(4) Show your sense of humor.
Vulnerable means hurt? I don’t get it
@@sandrareed7266 It could also mean being candid enough to openly speak about the weaknesses or challenges one has.
Uff... what a way to put it simple... Keep doing this ... Spread these ALL OVER PLEASE... America needs this
Thanks

thanks Paulo! Agree there are way more examples of humor that we didn't capture in the video. He's a funny guy!
Thanks for watching :)
His presidential campaign speech brought him into limelight as one of the world's greatest orator. I still listen to that speech till today.
It's great that you speak about communication and not about manipulative rethorical strategies!!!!
Most eloquent speaker.
But the worst POTUS and illegal too, being Kenyan born.
Obama is literally one of the best speaker. I don’t agree with his politics,but I am not taking his speaking skills away from him, teleprompter or not, doesn’t matter. Great speaker
No teleprompter. That is just nasty political envy.
He's truly a very great orator
He’s a highly skilled orator and his training as a lawyer plays a part in that. Most lawyers are usually good speakers, they have to be.
More breakdowns plz 🤩
Great lesson man!! One more subby, Roland from good old Germany
thanks Roland!
One of the best communicators of our generation. No wonder Trump jealously hates him.
Hussein Obama is the divider in chief
He retired 16 years ago
We are talking election 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸
Biden out and the B**** of SFr will be defeated🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ha Ha, so you are deceived by his words, if you want to know you have to see the act and result of his action, not words. Poor you!!!
Obama definitely lives up to the hype - such a great communicator. Would love to see a breakdown of Jocko Willink.
GOOD

Our 4ever Pres. Wonderful speaker! Great content.
I read Obama's speeches and i like to discover his art of translating that great writing to lively speeches.
Agree, even if he had speech writers, he could deliver them masterful.
Let's remember his professional speech writer/ writers, as well.
Very good work, thank you

Barack Obama, is classy, articulate and a source of pride for those who aspire to rise.
Open? - Real ?? Yes ! 👍

How about you coach Donald Trump, he needs it badly. Irrespective of the political leaning he is bad bad speaker
He wouldn’t take any pointers. It’s always about him.
First of all, no one can coach Donald Trump because Donald Trump doesn't think that anyone knows more than he does sooooo...😒🤷🏽♀️
He's lucky his audience isn't overly discerning.
He needs to learn how to form a sentence first. He says “I have all the best words” which in and of itself is a very strange sentence to say; not to mention that he uses and pronounces words and names incorrectly.
Na trump is a good speaker, it’s just different style. Obama is just better all round but trump has a lot of charm to
Good moming Obama you was the best perisde❤❤n for america people i very happy that joe was the next and kamla be the best💙💙💙💙
Starting to see this in the Harris campaign as well.
So basically content doesn’t matter just present with confidence and charisma? Bologna!!!
Youre using the bottom line thing in this video lol
😅
Today fracking was the imp part of the debate
Being overly, inappropriately informal should be one of your points. You keep calling him “Barack”. Unless you are a close personal friend, he should be addressed as President Obama or Mr. Obama. Respect, man.
Chill bro lol
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG, you're making me crazy! To you, he is not Barack. He is Mr. President, Mr. Obama, President Obama. Show a little respect, I know he's earned it.
Exactly
I agree, I cringe a bit each time. Not from embarrassment, but from pain.
Who? Barack?
Really, calm down
He is talking about the human, the person, not the job or the office he inherited. For me it is powerful that he calls him Barack.
I don't mean this as an insult but President Obama's public speaking has similarities to that of a WWE superstar. It's very effective!
So where's the insulting here?
He should do one on Trump and call him Donald the whole time
If you are unafraid to think.You will be unafraid to speak.
I'm not for holy dingy. I have goals okay. We usually can afford dry cleaning. That never becomes poor.
That's why they call him One Take Mike!!
😊
That is the one thing I liked when you were in office and Trump
Michelle is more fascinating as a speaker than her husband

Please show me where any law enforcement is actually doing that these days? Or are they shooting at acorns and yelling “officer down”?
I’m not a big fan of Barack Obama however he definitely is a good speaker. Better than Kamala Harris I can tell you that.😁
She’s very smart she can become a good speaker

The serpent in the bible was a great speaker.
The Obama Method *Teleprompter, Teleprompter, Teleprompter, Teleprompter* . Fidel didn’t need a Teleprompter to speak for 6 hours
