I’ve been doing a television show on PBS for 25 years now. Its a show called MidAmerican Gardener. It’s definitely local but if you like plants and gardening it can be an interesting show. Of course, if the panelist are bad it can be as bad as a Saturday Night Live skit. There is an art to being a good host or panelist on a show. So when I’m on one and a person is struggling I know their struggling, even if they don’t. Transitions, watching the hand signals from a director and knowing what to do, bailing out another guest who is struggling. It’s part of being on TV and understanding how to follow structure without making it look structured. Our show changed directions lately and hired a person that was a TV anchor for a number of years but didn’t know much about plants. Five minutes into her show you could see that she had done tons of live TV. She flowed through things that others stumbled. She was a true professional. And it doesn’t matter that she doesn’t know much about plants because she makes sure that those that do on the show are the stars. She is merely there to guide and direct.
I had always been the fill in host over the years and thought I was pretty good at it but after watching a pro I realize I can be a lot better. I don’t really get enough practice to be really good at taking the lead role and that’s really all it takes. Practice. Public speaking is nothing more than that. Practicing. Going through drills. It’s like training for a race but a verbal race. A good test is have someone give you a card with a random topic on it and try and give a 5 minute talk about it without saying “Ummmm” or a pause more than 3 seconds. Most people would find it tough. Especially if its a topic you really don’t know anything about so you’re pulling it out of your ass. A lot of people don’t think they need to be good at public speaking but pretty much any time you meet someone new you are public speaking. The speech is just to a crowd of one. But its off the cuff, a new judge, and some times uncomfortable, just like a speech.
When I go to NamesCon I will know in 3 minutes if the speaker does it regularly. It won’t matter how good the content is if its delivered poorly or nervously. You’ll be feeling For the speaker instead of just feeling him. It will be interesting to see how the grades come out

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
Thanks as always. Laptop.com is on the NamesCon auction. So probably not there as an expired domain, IMO.
*on=in; expired=expiring
I should probably be fully awake before writing comments. 🙂
Thanks Tal. Totally forgot about that. I missed the “Reserve not met” part
