Video Tape Yourself

[MrSandman]

Thats just it, go video tape yourself. Tape yourself talking, walking, singing, doing housework, playing with the dog, cooking a pizza..whatever.

You wont believe what you see, or dont see. If you dont like what you see, you can start to change very easily.

If you are really feeling gutsy, hide the camera and video tape youself talking to a girl (dont go launching into a porno now...that can get you in trouble)

Peace out

Tape-record almost anyone's voice, play it back for them, and they'll ask "Do I really sound like that?"

I'm used to hearing my voice on tape, I'm a vocalist, but seeing myself of video tape is a shock. "I look, move, gesture, and talk like THAT?"

Sometimes it is difficult to imagine what went wrong or right in a conversation when all of your clues come from person you're communicating with (and often, they're being very polite). It's difficult to see what you're doing wrong or right unless you can actually SEE what you're doing, or someone (besides her) is there to drop hints.

When I worked in sales, I was told that the closer I came to closing, the more I'd make this face and posture that communicated desperation. My shoulders would hunch, my eyes widen, and my eyebrows raise... had no idea I was doing this but when I finally saw what I had been told and made the change, I became more successful.

Imagine if you weren't aware that every time a woman gave you attention, you became so nervous and fidgety that you scared her away? You might go through life thinking that women didn't like you because you were too fat, ugly, or unintelligent - and while all of those things could be true about you, the reason behind your constant rejections would remain an enigma until someone clued you in OR you had an opportunity to witness it yourself.

When I was in forensics (the speech one) I often taped and videotaped myself. It really is surprising to see yourself on tape and go "Holy ****! I can't believe I look/sound like that."

Through that I was able to change my posture, speaking style, etc. and be a little more convincing in my speech.

That's true. That's truth in epic porortions.

know why u sound different on tape? Its because you hear your voice after it traveled thru your skull thus changing it.

Not really dj stuff but it's an answer to one of life's common question.

This is so TRUE!

Try tape yourself dancing for example, you will notice right away what needs to be improved.

This is a great idea.Improving one's dancing becomes easier as the person dancing will have a third eye view of exactly how they dance and how they are seen by other ppl

Taping oneself in pick ups and sarges is also a great way to improve a dj's voice & bodylanguage which is very important in a your game.
