i really dislike being in front of the camera... being behind it and in the editing suite is so much more enjoyable, for sure.
for what i'm saying to be understood by ppl other than my family and friends (i.e. ppl watching the show) i've had to slooow everything down.. because i DO talk waaay too fast (i'm told), and move too fast (i'm told.. feels fine to me!). i never saw a problem with it most of my life -- until recently, that is. with the show, and having to slow down, and with something a friend said not too long ago. i had left a message on my friend's dad's answering machine, and my friend called the next day to tell me that he couldn't understand a word i said because every word was strung together and spoken way too fast-- no i hadn't had any wine. i couldn't believe he couldn't understand *any* of what i said.
then, as soon as we started the show in june, which i edit along with warren, i did notice that i needed to slow my speech and mannerisms down to be understandable - or at least to make what i said not seem "racy mechanical", if that makes sense. so i've done that -- slow waaay down for on-camera -- since the first episode.
but i don't like to! it doesn't feel right!
