A Random Thought on the Awards Announcement...
So, two weeks later I find myself looking at the text of the awards announcement again - in part because I've also been swapping emails with NGC/PMG about mailing addresses and in part because I just really like what they said about my note set - and I notice the video they have and decide to watch it.
So... a bit of context but... 2 weeks ago I was tasked at work with recording demo / how-to videos on how to use our software. These are supposed to go on YouTube as a Marketing tool (to show the capabilities of the software) but also has a teaching resource for licensees. When I agreed to make these at first I was supposed to do no audio and they were going to have someone paid to record GOOD audio later. Then I agreed to record audio that they could strip out, explaining as I went along so they could use that as the basis of scripts. Then they decided that they liked what I was doing so I got asked to just record the audio myself. Shoulda seen that trap coming a mile away.... anyway...
I got a new $130 gaming headset with a directional boom mic out of the deal.
They also asked if I might consider recording my face / myself as I talk to have it inset into the videos. I don't want to do that. I like my soft t shirts too much and I look tired too often.
Shirt says, "I used to be a people person. Then people ruined it. Again... Anyway...
The point I'm getting to is I was impressed with Rick Montgomery's line delivery. After 2 weeks of recording and listening to my own voice has shown me, getting through 100 seconds of talking / reading from a pre-prepared -script without tripping on your own tongue is a lot harder than you might think.
