  Oh Noel...

  Thin skins are for bar room discussions. I meant nothing of the sort. I merely responded to someone who attacked the voice of a presenter. Heck, I paid $3000 for a coach to refine my voice so I could save many times that amount be doing myself what I'd paid someone else to do. It wasn't worth it. I concentrate on the smoothness of a demonstartion and my comentary then becomes paused and often mumbled. Not good enough for my clients so I still employ a Post production 'voice' to make sure my demonstrations are both smooth and professional sounding.

   

  I still say it is unproductive to critisize a presenter. Offering a suggestion (as I did) on how to improve the production then becomes constructive, not critical. As far as I'm concerned, I'm here to learn and get help... Maybe offer help if I can. Whay on earth you'd get the notion I was having a go at you is beyond me. If ever I  do have anything to say to you in that regard, rest assured I'll specifically say it to you and probably off-line because I don't think arguments in forums are productive either. OK?

  Not sure whether you're implying my comment about the audio is a "personal attack", but it is nothing of the sort!  I'm sorry if anyone misinterpreted it as such.

  Noel, I think the comment referred to my criticism of Chris ‘YE HAH! Orwig’, but surely the presentation is a highly important element of video tutorials, just as it is with Photoshop books — that’s why Scott Kelby is so successful.  His books make you smile or laugh out loud on every page, which means you keep on reading and learning. Scott is also a master of bringing together tips and ideas from his ‘Team’ and making them into a highly polished presentation.  Chris Orwig, on the other hand, is the presentation equivalent of fingernails scraped on a blackboard.

   

  I’ve written to Lynda.com with my concerns regarding the extreme overuse of phrases like “I’m gonna go right ahead” in general, and Chris Orwig specifically.  I have also emailed people like Nigel French (Design and Type titles using Photoshop) and Chad Perkins (Premiere Pro) thanking them for their obvious enthusiasm and the quality of their Lynda.com titles.  I got nice replies from both of them, but nothing from Lynda.com.

   

  You might argue that CO is also enthusiastic about Photoshop, but while his mouth speaks the words, his eyes don’t back them up. Compare Chris Orwig to Deke McCelland, and the wonderful Russell Brown.  The latter two are so genuine, and Russell delightfully eccentric. And both DM and RB are light years ahead of CO regards their knowledge of Photoshop.

   

  Of course it is far from easy to present video tutorials, as Doug says above.  I can still remember being forced in front of the camera while doing media studies (almost 40 years ago) and how dry my mouth became while I tripped over my every word while speaking gibberish.  I am currently filming for a promo for an April 2014 event, that has to be shown this time next year, and I absolutely know I shall be bring in talent for the VO.

  @ Noel: your comment was on subject and to the point.

   

  @Trevor.Dennis: you choose to continue a personal attack, based on very subjective arguments. Why do you choose to do this In a public photoshop forum and why did you choose to hyjack this thread? You made your point, sir, can we leave it at that please and go right ahead ?

  Looks like the 10 Am webinar is postponed, or cancelled.

  Well, the 10 AM webinar was cancelled because of technical difficulties.  We were told the webinar would take place tonight at 5 PM, so I've scheduled a timespot to watch it.

   

  Now I've received an e-mail from Adobe telling the 10 AM webinar has been rescheduled to May 7th at 10 AM and I've been registered for it.

   

  All references to ANY webinar has been removed from Facebook.  I'm still assuming tonight's webinar will still take place.

   

  ADOBE - I've tried several ways to find out about tonight's 5 PM webinar with no responses.  My life, what there is of it, does not revolve around your schedule.  Will there be a webinar tonight or won't there?

  Once you have registered for one of the Webinars, Adobe send you an e-mail with a hot-link and instructions.

   

  However, if your internet service is anything like mine, those Adobe e-mails get routed to the Spam/Junk folder so check there for them.
