Hello

My name is Rob Layton and trying to become a sportscaster, but having no success as of yet. I need some advice and maybe a mentor to help me out. I want someone to look at my blogs and tell me how to make it better. Plus maybe some advice on making podcasts and videos. Here are my links: Twitter.com/RLaytonSports rlaytonsports1.wordpress.com sportsrants.com/robreport

 

You plan on tweeting some time this year?

 

I tweet my work to my twitter page twitter.com/roblayton87

 

OK, that's better. The other one hadn't been updated since 2014.

 

Still more recent than the last tweet from the Times' Executive Editor:

 

If you're an aspiring broadcaster, shouldn't you be posting video or audio rather or in addition to writing a blog?

 

Damn, how many layoffs since then?

 

Gawd dammit Beej......fess up.

 

I forget to add my Youtube page. youtube.com/user/RobLayton87

 

Goddamnit, everyone is being too nice to Rob.

Noobie alert!

He's been on here almost 24 hours, and no one has said: fetch me a beer, Noob!

We are slipping around here. Quit slacking everyone. Unleash the hounds!!!

 

Someone who knows more about video can clean up what I am about to say.

I think you need to realign your computer camera, or switch to something else, so you are straight on in the frame, as you would be on TV.

I have the same problem when I teleconference, but it's not as much of an issue, nor is there a whole lot I can do about it. But if I were recording those sessions for others to view later, I would try to improve it.

Also, I think you need to add some "up and down" to your voice. I have the same issue there, too. It takes work to improve that.

 

And we all missed that so much.
