I hope this works as it is my 12th attempt at saying hello to everyone in person. I thought this was going to be easy but I can't even look into the camera lens. I was inspired to do this after visting K.O.R's site.
Here's the link to the vid but you have to promise not to laugh:

I've been working up to it for about two weeks. I thought it would be easy to just look at a camera but it's almost as hard as looking at a human but I kind of like it so will practice being more relaxed and learning to communicate better. I will need scripts for sure as once the little camera light goes on I'm kind of like a deer in the headlights type of thing. I will attempt to be be non abrasive.

Yes. Can you start out the next one with "In a world where..."? Like the preview voice over guy at the movies. :-)

My voice is what I hate the most about myself as it sounds 'detached' from myself and I got kidded a lot about the way I talk when I was a kid.

I agree you have a great voice and like you I hate my own voice, I sensed you have a warm quirky sense of humor and feel any further videos would help inspire others - good luck

Me and my aspie son are about to start doing video's and like you was thinking I will need scripts, but feel maybe better to have a few questions and just rant away, be our true selves - why hide the aspie in us :alien:
