My voice is giving me cause for concern (again). My neighbour told me I was suffering with an “incorrect feedback loop” when I told him I was unhappy with my clarity of diction, insisting that my voice was fine – but I can clearly hear the difference between my recent vlogs and those that I made 12 months ago. I film myself for my weekly vlog (with a multitude of retakes), finally resigning myself to the fact that my voice isn’t going to get any clearer, no matter how many times I try. The latest weapon in my arsenal is a cup of ginger and lemon tea, which I sip in between takes, and I feel that this does help a little.
I take the dog for her afternoon walk whilst transferring the raw footage from my camcorder to my MacBook, and then get stuck into editing it. All finished, uploaded and published by the time my wife arrives home from work, which is good. I light the fire while she prepares dinner, and then we watch a couple of episodes of Happy Valley on Netflix., which is proving to be very good!
