Chapter eight goes into detail about playing music during a presentation a presenter only has about thirty minutes in those thirty minutes you must catch the audience attention and have your audience remember everything you covered during your presentation “You have them for less than an. You want to make it an experience they’ll never forget”. (pg. 141) Music can take your audience through different emotions states from being sad, to anger, through happiness as mentioned in the book according to Weinberger. Another thing about playing music is that we as the audience are not aware that music takes us through different emotions “we are not even consciously aware that the music is dictating our emotional state”. (pg. 142) Depending what type of music is being played we tend to react towards the music we can either be sentimental or brave “Like it or not, sappy music tends to make us feel sentimental (even if we don’t want to)”. Overall the music the presenters chooses it must fit the presentation you are conducting you don’t want one that will but your audience asleep nor bored them to the point the audience will just get unfocused because the music isn’t right.
