The fun music for this webisode of VlogDiva is by ‘Matt Taylor Music’, found at GarageBand
The background is my lovely purple and green living room in SW Florida. This webisode has some good info and fun characters, though I feel that I got a bit too wordy in places.
I put lots of time into these webisodes, so please give me a cheap thrill and leave a comment and let me know who your favorite character is from this video.

That was plenty of fun, I am sure you put a bit of time into making it! I am looking forward to your next videos! And wow, you are on top of the yahoo groups! How do you find time to read em all?

Monique, good stuff in the video, good points to remember and act on.
Constructive criticism: I liked the music, but, sorry, as a music bed it doesn’t work. It was distracting to have vocal music under your talking, and sometimes made it difficult to hear what you were saying when your speaking volume dropped, for instance, at the end of a sentence. When the video started with the music going and before you started talking, it sounded like you had music or a party in your place or the neighbor did while you were shooting the video.
Something I learned a long time ago when I was working in radio: in general, music with singing doesn’t work well for a music bed under talking — instrumental only, if youmust have music…
Best of luck with your vlog.

Hi Sam,
Thanks for the good advice. I like having music because it adds energy, but now that you mention it I see how music with vocals can be distracting. I’ll try pure instrument for next week’s vlog.
Cheers

Monique,
Well, that effect I have doing almost all my videos like that, hmmm…I started vlogging in July 2005…The idea hit me around the middle of Sept, I use Final Cut Pro…if you check the Freevlog site, Extras, there is a video I made that will explain exactly how I do it…I hope you find it worthwhile…
Feel free to comment/mail me with any questions/advice/anything!

As far as your message is concerned, I think listening is the most important.
Keep up the great work!
3 ideas:
1. Look into getting a shotgun microphone, you can get a good one for under a $100.
2.Titles would break the pace
3. Finish off with a quick summary of your ideas to wrap things up.

I think I’ll try that Lavalier mic that some folks reccomended.
