HORSEPOWER & HEELS

cute

Do me a favor...always...no...never.. yeah NEVER say "ladies and gentlemen" or "folks" when talking to the camera. This includes tv interviews when your famous. This is one of my BIG pet peeves when listening to radio or interviews or mostly home videos. People have this impression they are talking to the whole world and they say things like "you heard it here ladies and gentleman" or "that's right folks"...puhleeeze. Nobody is watching your home videos of your kids soccer game, or you doing some jackass stunt.

If you are talking to an audience, the point you should be trying to make is you are talking to EACH person, not everybody. Look into the camera when replying to questions. Use the word "you" when telling stories instead of "me". ex: you're at the line and you are just waiting for the yellow to trip the whugitzer valve....etc. It's about involving the listener or viewer not isolating them by demoting them to "folks".

Write this down, Im givin you pearls here!

I've got some comments about body language, too but I'll wait for the next video.
