Interview with Elizabeth Esther

As I recorded video for The Relevant Conference this lady was the only one to say yes right away. She actually said yes before I explained the question! I was amazed! Most attendees I had to coax into doing a video, and give them time to think. Then I found out that Elizabeth Esther is used to doing her own video blogs as well as being on TV. When I heard that I decided to “interview” her. Enjoy! [cause I surely did]

Here’s a list of the tips we talked about:

Sit up straight
Don’t wiggle
Apply lip gloss liberally
Don’t overthink it
Listen well when interviewing
Look at each other when interviewing
When talking to audience look directly into camera
Do vlogs to help yourself become comfortable before going on TV
Try to keep to 2 min. or less [please excuse that this one is longer]
Really be yourself [only copy Elizabeth Esther]
It takes time to figure out your online presence; it’s ok to experiment

P.S. I picked that picture of Elizabeth Esther from her site because I think it makes her look like Judy Garland – a young Judy Garland, of course.

P.P.S. Next time we should totally sing Broadway tunes together!

Guest Video of Vlogging Tips

This is Wendy from Babies Gotta Have It. I first saw her videos on Newbaby when Kate couldn’t even sit up. I still like watching her even though I have no use for diaper bags or strollers. LOL She’s just fun to watch and, okay, I admit I love her curly hair.

I think she should have starred in the movie Motherhood instead of Uma Thurman, because Wendy actually is a SAHM in New York. Other than that, I don’t know if it resembles her life or not.

Anyhow – Wendy’s videos are always lit nice and easy to understand with a bit of humor thrown in. She’s a good vlogger to imitate.

P.S. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway for a year’s worth of hosting. You have until Aug 24, 2009.
