CWG: The Holy Spirit and my first video recording
Recently I responded to an invitation to speak at the upcoming online CatholicConference4Moms. The speakers send a digital video recording of their 30-40 minute talk to the coordinator whose video editors prepare them for viewing.
Public speaking is my least favorite way to market my writing, but a video seemed doable. After all, I could practice relentlessly and do more than one take, right? So I prepared my talk and used iMovie to record it and play it back. After the shock of seeing and hearing myself give the talk on video for the first time, I got rid of a few nervous habits and simplified those complicated phrases my tongue tripped over. I knew better than to memorize the speech as if I were perfectly orating the Gettysburg Address or The Night Before Christmas.
