One More Time (??)

Doing a live stream video, knowing that almost all of the people I know can watch us, me and my Ate Debbie, made me anxious at first. I had thoughts of like the what ifs and the positive buts. I knew that we are going to have this as one of our activities this semester, but we have this saying of you will never be 100% prepared until the very moment you start doing it. So I took the fall and went live.

Keribells!!!

I was a nice experience for the both of us [me and my sister] other than the fact that live streaming is one of the trends recurringly done by Facebook users, we were able to speak our minds in front of an audience; things that were not said on a daily basis. For a second, I actually considered doing it again. Lol!

Because of the fact that I, personally, are not used to doing video logs and the like, I had to make the interview as light as possible. Also had to incorporate an interviewee that I am comfortable to be with, thus my sister happened. I thought of doing a formal interview with my sister, but it will only result to being the most awkward thing we have ever done — so that’s crossed out. Second thought was to let my sister make a tutorial, if she was willingly to which I knew she would not for some reason that I chose not to argue with her about. Haha! My last and successful thought was to do a sibling tag which is one of the millennial types of interview done by youtubers with their siblings.

yup, this is how it’s done. kidding!

Interview proper, at first, the eye icon on the screen made me very conscious because the number beside it tells the viewers currently watching your live stream. In the middle of it, I started getting the hang of it and got comfortable with it. I got to think straighter, act naturally, and ask questions properly than the earlier part of our streaming. So comfortable that I sang at the end of it.

exactly!

All in all, as what I have said earlier, it was an experience that I would be glad to do again but I guess I have to stock up some courage again. Haha! Anyway, here’s the video that you have to watch with your head titled 90 degrees to the right. I have done it this way because the space for a portrait would not suffice for us to fit together in the frame. Hehe. Peace out!
