   You are so much more comfortable when you create and talk at the same time. Give that a try again, I enjoyed the squash!

   It might help you if you would rehearse what you’re going to say before hand…

   your train of thought is broken and punctuated with too many ums which might not create the audience you would hope for…

   Have an objective party view your video and critique it for you. If you have to do it over, you’ll just be better and more fluid. No loss, everything to gain.

   Too much technique for a little message.
   Try to put life before technique.
