Speech ?'s

Who is Speaking?
Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Primer, Nikita Khrushchev

Why is it imprtant?
The Kitchen Debate was the first high-level meeting between Soviet and U.S. leaders since the Geneva Summit in 1955

Why do I feel it is interesting?
There are differing vocal patterns and nice white noise to work with visually. Also, the ending segment would be nicely ironic to make into a video showing Khrushchevʼs words in print.

What is the emotion, mood, tone, personality, feeling of the speech?
I think it is hard not to find the speech a bit humorous. Two political power houses bickering about translation and whoʼs better than who. And theyʼre in a Kitchen! But thats not really important in this case.

What is intonation, emphasis, what is loud, stressed, or soft. Where are there pauses...
I wan’t to call out everything, including crowd interaction and possibly even the Russian.

What do you FEEL should be loud or soft, long pause or ruhed?
Exactly what is

Is there a call to action?
When listening to it what are key/emphasized words? “your hand” makes for a nice resolution.

How does it make you feel?
I didn’t know what I was listening to at first. But then after I figured it out I almost rolled my eyes.

How do imagine that the audience felt?
It seems like the crowd is predominately American... but the speech takes place In Moscow. So I don’t know. But they seem to act as proud Americans.

Could there be another interpretation of the speech?
I’m actually sure there could. But I do like the reality of it in itself.

Write/find a short bio, of the person giving the speech.
Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States, in office from 1969 to 1974. He served as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961, the only person to be elected twice to both the Presidency and the Vice Presidency. A member of theRepublican Party, he was the only President to resign the office.
The office of Premier of the Soviet Union (Russian: Премьер Советского Союза) was synonymous withhead of government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Twelve individuals have been premier. Two of the twelve premiers died in office of natural causes (Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin), three resigned (Alexei Kosygin, Nikolai Tikhonov and Ivan Silayev), and three held the offices of party leader and premier simultaneously (Lenin, Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev). The first premier was Lenin, who was inaugurated in 1922 after the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR. Ivan Silayev spent the shortest time in office at 126 days in 1991. At over fourteen years, Kosygin spent the longest time in office, and became the only premier to head more than two government cabinets; he died shortly after his resignation in 1980.
The Council of People's Commissars (Sovnarkom) was established on 8 November 1917 by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) Government. Article 38 of the 1924 Soviet Constitution stated that the Council's powers, functions and duties were given to it by the Central Executive Committee (CEC) which supervised the Council's work and legislative acts. The Council of People's Commissars published decrees and decisions that were binding throughout the Soviet Union.[1] In 1946, the Council of People's Commissars was transformed into the Council of Ministers (Sovmin) at both all-Union and Union Republiclevel.
