Well, your video was good for one of your first videos. I am not sure about lighting and such and therefore will not try to give advice on that since I could do no better than this, but I can speak on the act of speaking itself. One area that I might suggest some practice is in the use of voice inflection. Although, I understand that this kind of blog is seeking to be real and not a show – I know that you lost me because you did not change the tone of your voice. Even in general conversation I believe that it is important to have voice inflections although in a blog such as this the level of those inflections will be dwarfed in comparison to a public speaking engagement. This is hard to illustrate in words, but I might suggest noticing people in conversations over dinner or at a party. Those that are truly engaged in the conversation normally do more than just sit and speak in the same tone, but they become more animated, although again less than what might happen on a stage.

Got it. I’ll make sure the next one is well lit and make several other adjustments. I’ll be a pro at this before the end of the summer

Like the video Alex. Keep um coming! Just a little technical note: think about the lighting when you’re recording. Your face is a little dark in this video which results in bad visibility of your facial expressions.

Possibility is transformation for the world. I’m schedule to begin SELP on July 19th and can’t wait to meet up with the friends I have made, it’s going to be great. I’m not sure which project I will have yet, but I’m thinking that I want it to be online, I like this medium.

Thanks for the video Alex. You made me go back to my advance days. What’s your possibility? If you do get a chance, do SELP as well. It’s empowering.

Thanks Tom. Yes, I wasn’t trying to sell anything, just relaying my experience. I’m glad you like the quality, there will be more to come.

I’m impressed by the quality of the audio and video churned out by your mbp. I think I might have to ebay my thinkpad. More on point though, the video was raw and honest. It feels genuine and not like a pitch. I don’t feel like you’re trying to pull one over on me
