    Hi, checking in! I believe Cuomo has good organization skills but needs to present better overall with a better tone and body language.

  3. Hello, checking in. I thought Cuomo overall was a good speaker. He got his points across and had a good opener. Maybe a little better tone.

  4. Hey checking in! hope everyone is safe and healthy. Cuomo seems like an honest straight forward speaker. He's good at getting the point across while also reiterating the details, yet he shows no emotion while stating these facts. Brad i miss you ;(

    Good Morning professor Brady. I hope u are doing well, I hope the rest of the class is doing good as well staying safe. I watched the video and went over the power point for the persuasive speech. I've been trying to keep up with the news the best i can from what I've seen i would say that Governor Cuomo is a good speaker. When he holds a press conference I always understand what hes talking about, he has his power point and visuals next to him, helping the audience digest the information. He also does a great job being a leader, having stern and comforting tone, he gives the audience honest answers. But his speech are not all facts and gloom I also appreciate his ability to include some humor in his speeches.

  7. Hi professor Brady! Missing you a little too much today. I hope the rest of the class is doing well. I miss seeing everyone and hope everyone is safe. Thank you for posting a video, it helped me understand the topic a little more and of course seeing you is always nice. I also wanted to know if "Fake News" was a topic I could give my speech on.

    1. Hi Fary! Great to see you check in today!!! BRAVA!
      I love the idea of creating a persuasive speech regarding "fake news". It is a very interesting and valuable topic in that it does permeate the gen z mindset in this post modern media realm.. YOU will have to develop a persuasive speech that takes a POSITION on Fake News.. you must see the other side... then go back to your position. I think it can be creative, compelling and persuasive!Do your research! LOVE IT!

  8. Professor Brady, hope you and your family are staying safe. I'm sure we are all missing you and your songs. I think Cuomo is very knowledgeable about what he's saying, he's very clear and articulate, and he makes the audience understand and feel how serious this pandemic is and how serious it is in New York right now. One thing I think he should work on is using more vocal variety.

    1. Hi Brian! Excellent work evaluating vocal variety and clarity!
      Glad to see you check in!! I look forward to hearing from you in fishbowl on Wednesday!

    Good Afternoon Professor Brady and to the class. I hope everyone is staying well and making smart choices right now, and always. I have watched your two videos. What is wrong with scaring your neighbors? Let them see the real you. I have also go over the PowerPoint and speech schedule. I look forward to researching a topic and learning more.

    Between Trump, Cuomo and de Blasio, Cuomo seems to be the most prepared and knowledgeable on what he is talking about. He delivers his points well, he is organized and respectful of those he is talking to. I think he puts the President and Mayor of NYC to shame, just my honest opinion.

    I think that Cuomo is very organized when he speaks, he keeps the public involved and knows exactly what everyones needs and wants to hear from.

  12. Hello Brady! I hope all is well on your end, im fortunate enough to say thats the case for me and my loved ones.
    After watching Cuomo speak I was able to tell that he was exceedingly knowlagable about the topic which he should be, he also had his thoughts organized so that whoever was listening or watching was able to understand him clearly and understand what points he was trying to convey to his audience.

  14. Hi Professor Brady! I hope you and your family are all healthy and doing well! I am really sad that we cannot meet in person anymore and I know that my T/R classmates probably feel the same because we always had so much fun.

  16. Hi Brady! Hope all is well. I miss being in our fun class, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I think Cuomo is a really good speaker. I've been watching the news almost every day since this started, and he really tries to comfort people and ease feelings. He's very smart in tying his own experiences with the situation into his speeches. He talks about struggling with his own family when it comes to his daughters and mother, and many people relate to that and find comfort in it. It's a very smart skill to use during this time.

  20. Hello Professor Brady! I hope your family is well, and thank you for being so organized with everything and clear it makes it so much easier. Many New Yorkers have mixed opinions about Cuomo, however through this pandemic he is still able to gain peoples attention and get his point across to everyone. Governor Cuomo also has a distinctive voice, if I were in my kitchen and the TV was on without looking at the screen I would be able to tell it's him. His use of vocal variety I feel is what helps him the most.

  21. Hello professor Brady, I hope all is well I’m sorry I’m a little late! I have been watching Cuomo almost every day through this mess and I have to say I think from a speaking standpoint he does very well. When talking to the public he knows how to get the point across in a clear and simple manner. Cuomo appeals to the audience by creating a family-friendly environment and sometimes even comical when having his brother on live.

  22. Hello Professor Brady, I’m sorry for the late post. I have been busy with other online classes and figuring out when all of my due dates are. To answer your question I am doing well, although things are a bit hectic. I hope you and your family are doing well, and staying safe. I have been watchin Governor Cuomo pretty much everyday, and I feel like he is a good speaker. I always walk away from the conferences feeling very informed about the situation.
