1
I'm gonna be so honest with you right now.
2
If you wanna know how to vlog, just watch the girls.
3
They know exactly what to do.
4
Hour -long vlogs, 45 -minute long vlog, one hour, 30 minutes.
5
I'm not gonna lie.
6
When I first wanted to pivot into vlogs and talking head videos, I had to watch a lot of them.
7
I'm gonna be honest with you.
8
Because I don't know how you're getting an hour -long worth of footage.
9
I mean, even now to this day, it's still hard for me.
10
So that's my first piece of advice.
11
If you wanna know, watch them.
12
Because clearly, they know what they're doing.
13
It's just too goddamn long for me.
14
But besides that, I think the very first step you need to do is get the right equipment.
15
You want to get equipment that is fast and efficient for you.
16
That is literally the first step because if you're walking around with a big,
17
thick camera, you're not going to want to carry that around all day.
18
You're not going to want to vlog with that all day because the setup is just too big.
19
You need something fast, agile, quick, and efficient.
20
You want to be able to be somewhere and boop, you can record.
21
But if you got to set everything up, set the tripod up, all this, if it's not fast and efficient,
22
you're not going to vlog especially when you're first getting started
23
and now you might ask why because it takes two months work from
24
when you're feeling motivated to vlog to actually vlogging
25
that gap is too long it's too much slow it down
26
and make it fast you should be able to be somewhere
27
and vlog within i want to say 30 seconds but
28
if every time you're trying to vlog you're thinking about man
29
i gotta set this up i gotta set the lighting up here
30
there there whatever you're not gonna do it it's just too hard
31
so the first step is making it as easy as possible for me
32
i made it as easy as possible i currently have the sony a74
33
and the 11 millimeter lens and i also recently got the sony mic as well just
34
so that it is compact and light and i also took off
35
that big case that i used to have because with me
36
when i used to walk around with
37
that big small ridge cage it just made my camera feel more bigger
38
and it made it heavier but now it's fast
39
and efficient i also got this tripod
40
which makes it a lot easier for me to record
41
because all i got to do is this
42
and put it down i'm ready to record
43
that level of simplicity makes me more motivated to vlog
44
because look it's easy i can do this i can literally do this all day
45
and when my setup is not
46
that big to where i'm feeling overwhelmed to vlog
47
it's literally easy my problem now is how do i have enough footage to make my vlogs longer
48
or maybe that's just god's way of telling me them hour -long vlogs just not for me
49
because i'm kind of 50 50 with it so figure out
50
which one you like to do figure out your style that you want to go with and go with that.
51
But I'll tell you this, if it's not easy, you're not gonna do it.
52
Also, I highly recommend doing what you feel comfortable.
53
Just because you see somebody else waking up early in the morning at 5 a .m.,
54
recording themselves getting out of bed and doing all this stuff, that doesn't mean you have to do it.
55
That does not mean you have to do it.
56
For me, I can't do it.
57
Why?
58
Because it's not authentic.
59
First of all, I sleep naked.
60
That might be TMI, but if I were to record myself getting out of bed, I probably wouldn't have a YouTube channel.
61
So do what feels comfortable, to you.
62
I don't do that because that's just not authentically me, but if that's something that you would like to do, try it.
63
Also, if you're uncomfortable with talking in public, you know, you're outside, you don't want to talk in Target, you don't want to record yourself in,
64
you know, Best Buy or at a restaurant because you just feel awkward talking in front of people, how about this?
65
How about you just shut up?
66
How about you just vlog yourself in that environment
67
or you just record yourself in that environment and then later either add music or do a voiceover?
68
I mean, you don't really got to be that hard.
69
You're making it more difficult than what it needs to be.
70
If you're feeling nervous about talking in public, that's fine.
71
It's a very normal feeling to feel, but how about you just limit the amount you have to do?
72
So instead of going to a restaurant and trying to talk about the restaurant in front of 10 people because you're nervous,
73
how about you just record yourself?
74
And then on the back end, you do either a silent vlog or you put some music over it or you do a voiceover.
75
And then as you do that more and more times, you'll feel more comfortable doing it.
76
But you want to start off recording in front of 15 people
77
and it makes you feel nervous you're not going to do it because
78
that nerve is going to get to you start small with a small goal maybe record yourself record
79
it on the back end and then
80
if you like it do it some more
81
and then as you do more you'll start learning to talk in public you start liking it more
82
and you start to be less
83
and less nervous that's what i had to do also another thing
84
this is going to come more towards you know
85
that back end editing part
86
when you're recording your footage make sure you are actually recording in your proxy files
87
and what does that mean
88
when you're vlogging in public
89
you're going to capture like 20 30 different clips of you doing different things you talk
90
and all this extra stuff you want to make sure your camera supports proxy files
91
because it's going to basically give you the original file
92
which is probably going to be anywhere between two gigabytes to seven gigabytes
93
and also the proxy file is going to be like 200 megabytes
94
so that way when you're editing on your computer it's going to take up a lot less storage
95
so that your timeline is not going to get slowed down
96
or buffered so that way when you're editing you know you're editing on the proxy files
97
which are a lot smaller files and when you're ready to export it
98
and put it on youtube you can switch it back over to the full resolution
99
and boom you're good that's honestly one of the biggest things
100
that I had to learn because
101
when I have a bunch of different clips the files are just so large sometimes my computer cannot handle all that footage.
102
But when I use proxy files...
103
It literally saves my computer.
104
And it saves me so much time because I am not waiting on my timeline to finish buffering.
105
I'm not waiting on it to do anything because the files are so small, my computer can definitely handle it.
106
And being that I have the MacBook Pro, it is literally chef's kiss.
107
And the last thing that I'm gonna say about vlogging is this, when you're doing different things,
108
nobody is gonna know that you did that on a certain day.
109
So if you recorded something six months ago, but nobody ever seen it, to me, it's gonna feel like you did that yesterday.
110
To your audience, it's gonna feel like you did that yesterday.
111
Nobody cares that you did it six months ago.
112
You the only one that cares.
113
If nobody has ever seen it, literally, it never happened.
114
So yes, you can add that footage to your vlog.
115
With that being said, I'm currently in Chicago, so I'm gonna do a little vlogging myself.
116
I'll see you in the next one.
117
Peace.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
