The project for this class is to get in front of your camera and start speaking. Whether it's a camera you already own, or your phone or webcam, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you show up and begin sharing.

Here are two prompts that you can follow, depending on what resonated for you in this class:

I. Utilize the techniques that I shared in the class to make a short video:

Be creative - can you utilize the information that I share in this class to prepare? Whether that's scripting out your ideas before hand in your speaking voice, or using editing software to hide cuts that you make in certain areas, how can you create a seamless presentation of your ideas?

Remember, it's not about getting it all perfectly right when you sit down to speak on camera. It's about giving yourself enough quality pieces to create a final result that you're proud of.

II. Raw Speaking:

If you're more compelled to do something that feels uncomfortable and will make you grow, I challenge you to set a timer for 10 minutes and talk without making a cuts. I did this 5 and a half years ago and I have attached the results. Even five years later, despite not having done anything other than recording and posting the video, I'm grateful that I did it.

If you feel up to it, it would be wonderful to see what thoughts and ideas you can capture on video. :)
