1) John's TED-talk voice did little to compensate for his lifelong habit of unoriginal thought.

3) Martha's incessant TED-talk voice stood out like the one Australian accent in the room, only instead of charming it was obnoxious. Her desperation for peer validation was as pathetic as it was irritating to anyone within earshot.

A singsongy, patronizing tone used to air your latest mundane idea that you appear to think is some kind of high-brow epiphany.
