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)

GO EASY EYEBROWS
this gal is inspiring for sure. Thanks Katie !
As a vocal coach, I could not agree more. I laughed and almost cried listening to Katie Kat'speech. Let's sing guys, let's sing!
Gr888est.
I can't carry a tune. Therefore I cannot sing. Simple as that
That mic should be ashamed of itself!
Beautiful singing, too bad the mic kept bottoming out.
I love singing, i just don't have what i call the sound space to feel i can use it to it's full potential. Sometimes i wish i could move to the middle of nowhere just so i could. Tell me i'm not the only one afraid of what the neighbors will think.
Listening to your voice in a tape is horrible
Makes you don't want to open your F mouth again
Imagine hearing you own voice singing in a tape as a bad singer.
I did thanks to this
Well I suck
Should probably fix the typo in the description that says "If there's room and it's appropriate add;" I don't think that is supposed to be there.
Omg, thank you so much! It's just so spot on rn for me! She's amazing!
excelnte conferencia…
Beautiful lecture and beautiful song. Thank you, Ms. Kat.
The mic can't handle her.
Like you said people who have had a stroke can sometimes sing much better than they can talk. People who stutter can also sing fine even though when they talk they stutter. People often with neurological disorders have a good ear for music.
music heals when medication can't. I have epilepsy and I love music. When I was at school when my epilepsy started my education turned upside down but my music could never be taken away from me.
your are amazing and beautiful!
hi guys, the greatest results that ive had was with the Bens Singer Blog (just google it) definately the most useful idea that I have ever tried.
One of the Best Tedx ever…
Alzheimer's patients often can still sing in stead of talk, especially if it is songs they knew in their youths. Also we have had reponses from non-responsive patients in hospice care in the last days of their lives.
PS What a shame about the microphone she is using at the end when she sings Dvorzak and the mike can't handle the volume. Beautifully sung otherwise.
When she sang happy birthday????? teach meeeee
too many unnecessary words
I teach singing and I am very happy to know that these ideas, which I employ in my work, are surfacing all over the place. Singing is a human right and everyone should make it their own. Singing does not exist as a "thing" – it only happens when someone starts to sing. She is doing a good thing, telling people about the power they have, but do not always use. I love the idea of saying 'making noise' rather than 'warming up the voice' … it's true. Most people have wonderful noises that they make that simply don't have the "singing" label. Moving away from destructive self-criticism is the most important message!
who else is here from mrs. papizzo
i can feel your passion through your speech and i thoroughly encourage you to continue following your passion and you're right , singing can help people get though bullying , i was bullied but through singing became confident in myself and so wasnt bullied singing is a true gift which all should use
"most people who claim to be tone deaf are just unfamiliar with their voices. most of our wrong notes are really just the result of nervous tension"
"You do not have to write your own lyrics to sing. Reinterpretation offers you the opportunity to say something deeply personal through words and music that you identify with. With that framework already in place, you don't have to search blindly to express what's inside of you, and you gain the opportunity to learn about yourself"
love it.
