Much like writing — projecting confidence is a big part of it. It’s a skill that can be learned and, also like writing, don’t stop! You do it every day for 2 years you’ll get much better at it (and grow a following) more than if you tried it out a couple of times.
I still go “uhhhhh uhmmm aahhh” and am not the best at talking but it gets easier every time! Totally recommend it.
I try to livestream every day when I get into it but it’s been hard lately with the kids home and quarantine. I still put up a youtube video every day of talking about whatever I feel like — sometimes comic reviews, sometimes writing stuff, sometimes industry drama (these get the best clicks and keep the other ones growing).
When livestreaming usually talk about the guest’s books, books in general, whatever our common interests are. As long as someone isn’t frozen socially awkward it works really well.
Thanks for doing this Lawrence!
