This is great. It's like an answering machine message from a friend who's had an experience and they need to talk to someone about it. I don't know how much NPR you listen to, but Snap Judgement's Glynn Washington, and Prairie home Companion's Garrison Keillor (as well as Q's Jian Ghomeshi [Canada Proud!]) are great people to listen to when it comes to delivering a story. I'd also suggest writing down just a basic narrative structure down. Nothing restricitng, just something to help you organize your thoughts and eliminate the ums and Ahs. A lot of what you're doing here reminds me (in a good way) of Ze Frank's A Show.
Thanks! In regards to structure, it was my intent to have none, unfortunately that cost goes to the listener.. I just wanted to have myself fully unrestricted in expression so i could think and talk without being nervous. This was a test and experimental and just fun, I'd love to see other Hubskiers(?) give it a shot and I hope to give it a second try at least. Oh my god I just opened the playlist and I'm captivated. This is incredible. Holy hell.
Ze Frank: the most influential video blogger most people have never heard about. I'm glad that I can show him to someone and change their life. Edit: maybe it's not fair to say "most people" have never heard of him. I mean, of course MOST people have never heard of them, because they either don't have an internet connection, or don't have a connection good enough to access youtube, or have better things to do with their life, or just don't know what to search for. I guess I'm just trying to say I wish that more people knew about him and I feel special for having experienced his videos. I want other people to feel special. he's a "Doer" as well as as "thinker" and that combination allows him to bring a community together.
The craziest thing is that I knew about Ze Frank from those hilarious voice-over videos of the Octopus and the Honey Badger :D The username was immediately familiar. What a guy.
