Kevin Beal Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I made a second video. This time about gender equality. I don't think it's such the great thing that people love to say that it is, and here's my thinking on that: I'd love to hear what you think! 6
J. D. Stembal Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I liked the presentation, Kevin. However, there are a couple times where it's difficult to hear the words you are saying as you seem to be running out of breath. Slow it down, and take a few more pauses and breaths to allow the listener to mentally process. The second half of the video is a lot clearer to the ear than the first. Your second video is an improvement on the first. Modulate the volume of your voice to stress certain points that you think are important or powerful. If something makes you mad, don't be afraid to sound angry (you don't have to yell at the camera). I would have trouble talking about male genital mutilation without sounding indignant, as the practice really pisses me off. These are great first efforts! You have inspired me to get into the action. I hide behind the keyboard way too much. 1
Kevin Beal Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 The reason for running out of breath is actually because I have a pretty bad Cedar pollen allergy this time of year and I don't get as much air in through my nose. But I got the same flat delivery feedback from others, and it's a fair criticism. I'm still getting used to the camera, but I'd like to get better at it, for sure. Practice, practice, practice. Thanks for the feedback. It helps.
PatrickC Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 It's so good to see rich content coming from people from the board at last. It's so often been a bit hit or miss in the past with some notable exceptions. Best of luck with this venture Kevin and be sure to let me know if you need any help.

I think what you've been doing already, sharing and giving feedback and suggested topics, is what is probably most helpful. I really appreciate that
