Nope, but, if I am really serious about continuing this I will take your advice. Although even if I do another amateur one I will probably make a plan as you suggested.

have you ever taken a public speaking course? if not I'd suggest at least getting a couple books from the library on the subject. being aware of a few key elements dramatically improves delivery.

for next time I'd say get your argument clear in your head for each point that you will be refuting. then have your notes consist of each of your opponent's claims. go through your opponent's claims and refute them one by one. conclude by refuting your opponents conclusion.

Thanks for the feedback.

Lighting can be dealt with next time, camera, at a later date...

okay. while you make true points your delivery isn't compelling. 90% of whether an audience has confidence in a message has do to with the method of delivery and not the content.

this is one of the reasons I advocate making cartoons, it has broad appeal and eliminates the need for charismatic speaking skills, which few truly have.

Lolz, that's not mine, mine is the response, I wanted you guys to watch the video first so you could see what I was responding to. I pointed out Reagan was not a free marketeer in the response.

Thanks for the comments guys :)

Yea sorry about that, I totally didn't see it for a second.

What the hell is that guy talking about?

reaganomics =/= free market

government colluding with corporations =/= free market

you can not make claims about what the free market will or will not accomplish based on historical data because there has never been a free market in which to test these claims.

Edit: fixed. will watch your response.

You did a pretty good job. One comment I would like to make was the swinging around back and forth on your chair in the beginning (you fixed that in the middle though which was great).

Another thing might be to write down some arguments or quotes beforehand, since a couple of times in the video you forgot what you were going to say.

I also like how you pointed out that he was not actually a libertarian. I was thinking the same thing when I was watching his video, and I think it would do that guy some good to read some Austrian Theory and see how these problems were caused by the Federal Reserve. I have yet to read Road To Serfdom (it is on the top of my list of books to read next), so I do not know how good of a recommendation that was to him. I also have not watched his other videos so I do not know his exact stances (although I could guess from just watching his video).

Good video, you will get better over time, everyone has to start somewhere, and you did a much better job than I ever would.

But I suck. But, this guy really angered me, so, I had to take my nerdrage out on someone.

Really, watch his video - such a moron!

I wish I could improev: hopefully, if I do it for some time, I will get better :)

My video is the response to his.
