TEDxBled pitch
Hi ๐ you're reading a pretty old post! I started writing on here back in high school and this page may not reflect my current views. Recommend checking out related articles and categories down below, I've likely published more recent thoughts on this topic.
TEDxBled is right around the corner and it's accepting random people to come give a talk. There's a competition going on and out of everyone who submits a video they'll pick the best two to come dazzle the audience.
Since this is a pretty cool opportunity and I almost have something worthwhile to say I decided to pitch a talk about my giving your future self a voice idea. It's nowhere near the high level of altruism and awesomeness of the other ideas pitched so far, but hey ... we can't all be spectacular right?
Talking into a computer is insanely weird for me, I prefer a crowd - it's somehow easier, probably because I can feel for a connection, get a few cheap laughs and generally feel how I'm doing and whether I should change the pace around or whatever.
After a few takes I came up with this:
The voice is crappy, the lighting sucks because you can't see my face well, but if I tried going for a different shot I'd have to clean my room and that just sounds too much like an excuse to avoid studying for exams.
It's a long shot and I probably won't be asked to present, but at least I tried :)
