Heather in Neverland Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 A few months ago some video/tv producer type people came out to do a series of commercials and promos for our school and I had to speak in front of a camera with all the lights blazing down on me. I was SO NERVOUS. I was sweating profusely and trying not to stutter. At any rate, the first of the commercials is done and I am in it and I don't sound like a total idiot!!! :D They did such a great job and I am so proud of my school: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 It's funny because if you knew me IRL you would be able to tell that my voice sounds like I have a sock stuffed down my throat...and that is exactly what it felt like! As soon as they flicked the cameras on my throat went dry, I started sweating and my hands were shaking. I do public speaking all the time and I never get nervous but man, something about that camera made me almost pee my pants! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenL Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I would have never guessed how nervous you were! You did an excellent job! It looks like a fabulous school and an amazing opportunity for staff and students alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Awww, thank you. You are all so sweet. It was an interesting experience watching how they set the whole thing up...the different "takes"... how they took our various interviews and cut and spliced them to fit each other. And those lights are HOT! I will definitely have more compassion for ANYONE being interviewed on camera from now on because it was pretty intimidating!

Ibbygirl Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I think you did great, Heather. I couldn't tell you were nervous at all. When you smiled while you were talking you seemed very natural and comfortable. I think you did a great job! Your school looks so nice. That video really does a nice job showcasing it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 First thing my kids said: "Wow! She's PRETTY!" :001_smile: But I wish I hadn't watched...I've been so glad we didn't go to Malaysia (kept hs'ing, etc)...until today, lol. I would really have loved to meet & work with you. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyFL Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 That was fun! Seeing you "in person on film" lol was very cool. You were very professional AND warm. Nice job! I miss that long hair in your picture though. When I think of you, it's that picture that I think of (ending a sentence with a preposition and ruining any chance of getting accepted at the school).
