I’ve been asked why I never go live when recording. And here’s a real talk list of reasons (with video proof) of why the live life just isn’t for me:
- look, unfortunately I’m a looks conscious creature, I will admit. And good grief I make the ugliest faces when recording. Like, what is happening in my face? It’s a mess. I’m a mess and I don’t need to think about the mess while I’m mid-scene.
- RSD messes with my brain basically every other moment of narration, so I don’t need it to also happen in real time in my happy place.
- I don’t like doing things that I’m not excellent at. I don’t like trying new things. I am a secret practicer. So if I stumbled on a live or didn’t like the direction I was going in a scene, I would think about that exact moment every night while trying to sleep for at least 8.7 years.
- apparently my brain can only manage to hit the record button on one device, and I forgot to hit record on my computer. You know, the actual important record button. So yeah. That was a bummer cause I felt like I was killing this scene but apparently it was too taxing for my wee lil brain.
Anyway. Go listen to This Violent Reckoning by because it will rip your heart out and fix it in so many ways 💕 (and I never went live with this book, so the good stuff actually got recorded 🤪)
