JangroCast #1: Video Blogging is Hard!

If you're new here, please subscribe to my RSS feed. And follow me on twitter. Thanks for visiting!

Videoblogging is hard! (spoken in the Barbie “math is hard” voice).

The production part isn’t hard. Actually, it’s much easier than I thought it would be. It is just tough having something concise to say and being animated when saying it. Radio is much slower paced, and I think people don’t mind that because it can just run in the background. At least I hope so.

Anyway, so I thought I’d give audio a try as well.

I apologize for the clicking sound. I’ll figure out what that is. And I’ll work on the um’s!

In this 20 minutes, I talk about the people that inspire me to get out of my comfort zone and try these things, both the usual suspects as well as a 10 year old, some business stuff (servers), and Twitter (of course) .

  1. Thx trish. u r kewl. srsly.

  2. I agree, its hard especially when you are starting out not to focus too much on the fact that theres a camera on you. People often come across sounding monotonous or stiff faced. A trick is to try or really have a conversionation. This will help you look and sound relaxed and authentic.
    Cheers

  6. Dear Scott,

    I really enjoy the podcast performance that you have placed here on your weblog. I will be following along to see how may more of these podcasts you produce.

    In other words… yes - i have been affected. I speaks in lol cat language for half the day.

  7. Very nice modified block letter format, Brian.

    I almost forgot what it looked like.

    thanks!

  8. Hi! It is hard, but it is a matter of practice, and I think you did it just fine,
    the next one will be even better.
    I think the way you can improve is:
    1) Just do it first
    2) Look it over
    3) Re-do
    This way some minor aspects will be corrected.

  9. Personally, I prefer YouTube videos and using that platform to drive me massive traffic. It helps if you know how to get massive exposure on YouTube,,,
