It's been a busy day, so this post will be short.
I did a radio interview today. When I say "I", I actually mean Melanie and myself. We were promoting the start of our next beginners course in the "what's on" segment for BayFm. I was more nervous for this tiny little interview than for the 2 set restaurant gig I did tonight.
I realised that I would far rather dance in front of people than speak in front of them. This thought isn't really surprising. We all have certain things we are more comfortable with than others, and seen as how I dance everyday and perform regularly, I'm comfortable with it. However, if you were to ask most of the women I know, they'd take a radio interview over dancing in front of people any day.
Back to the interview.
Melanie spoke about the course and then everyone looked at me. I had no clue what I was supposed to add. Everything seemed to have been covered in Melanie's opening. So I fumbled something about community and friendship ... I don't know. I can't remember now. Whatever I said, I did it and hopefully next time around it'll be less daunting.
(P.S. We did a television interview a few years back for a local station. I didn't find that as scary as today's radio interview. Perhaps it's because the television interview was recorded and the radio one was live. Or perhaps it's because hardly anyone watches that station - if it even exists anymore - but they do listen to local radio.)
