disfluencies<\/strong>
My “amateur hour”<\/em> production of commentary while watching “The Immigrant” fell victim to volume mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n

The “learning curve” lesson is that “while I’m streaming\/recording” I<\/strong> don’t hear the sound that is going to the stream – so the music volume on the movie was too high making the recording of my commentary unusable.<\/p>\n\n\n

File this one under “learning experience” – not a big deal. I could have easily re-recorded the commentary, and it would PROBABLY<\/em><\/strong> have been better the second time around.<\/p>\n\n\n

I continue to work on curbing my “filler words<\/a>.” Occasionally I’ll hear someone point out that too many “filler words” makes you sound unintelligent (or, they probably say “stupid” – and I just realized how successfully I have weaned myself from using THAT word).<\/p>\n\n\n

ANYWAY, having been “paid to talk to a captive audience about a subject I have extensive knowledge” (some call it “teaching”) – I always point out that MY<\/strong> filler word usage is directly related to how prepared I am for the lecture\/talk.<\/p>\n\n\n

Still it is something I need to work on …<\/p>\n\n\n
