I get it. It was nerve-wracking for me the first few times, but now I'm used to the sound of my own voice. I sit down in front of my screen, hit the video icon, and start reading. I've gotten to the point where I'm thinking I'm going to read for every SUNDAY night post. Here's a link to my first attempt. If you like it, you can link up to the others and watch my hair grow! benwoestenburg.substack…

Love your video presence and animate voice and of course your stories. I have been trying my hand at videos and getting the feel of recording myself and doing interviews. I think maybe I need to improve my background and animate my voice more, so people don’t fall asleep as in a lecture hall. I would love to do a video interview with you. I have been trying out doing 15-to-20-minute segments. I just have to remember to hit the record button.
That would be awesome! Maybe we can discuss it further in the New Year, as I'm sure your holiday season will be just as hectic as mine. But yes, I'd be interested in that. As long as you know what you're doing, because I sure don't!
I'm already subscribed to you. But I see you're into heavy things. May I suggest you read something of mine? https://open.substack.com/pub/benwoestenburg/p/it-was-an-accident-steve?r=254e8w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
It's not off the table, but I could get emotional. It's your call.
Thanks, Ben! Excited to listen. I record the majority of my posts now too. And I'm finding it quite fun.
It's very satisfying. In fact I have to do one later today. The problem is I'm sitting here in my PJ's, the wife gave me a "to-do" list for Christmas needs, so I might not get to it until later in the day.
Ha ha! I mean readers might enjoy a post in the PJs. ;) I do mine audio only so can get away with pjs regularly.
Good luck with the to-dos. :)
