presentation training the 2014 oscar awards ceremony
took place Sunday night hand and hardly for john travolta he had the most
memorable moment
terms of blunders of the entire evening up he was asked to introduce
Adina Menzel yet he pronounced her name
something completely different he call her
Adele de xem something not even
presentation training close to her name now I will confess
I do have trouble with pronouncing names I'm not used to you
I'm not saying only that easy time but this was something in the strip this
wasn't an award that was being kept secret
this was something where he was your sentry introducing someone about to
presentation training perform a song
completely butchered botched the name there is really no excuse for that
your a world-class performer John Travolta regular myrna
he is wildly successful highly-paid
presentation training he's being seen by more than 40 million
people that night practice rehearse
if and not guilty of this sometimes um
mispronouncing people's names but what I'm doing on YouTube okay a couple
hundred people see it
presentation training believe me if forty eight million people were gonna watch me
I would take the time to ask one two or three people
houses name pronounced and get it right people are very
particular about their names if you botch their names
they're not going to forgive you and now John Travolta is yet again
the butt of jokes throughout the internet Twitter et cetera
it was not a big speech to memorize impact
he wasn't memorizing anything had teleprompters
so rule here when you are giving a presentation
certainly you have a script in front of you do not
gas how to pronounce names ask people call the person you're introducing if
you need to and find out
exactly how to pronounce the name and then practice it
and make sure you get it right
