19 - Why a remote director helps your video content or podcast episodes

Recording solo episodes while looking at a wall is an intimidating experience for many or most creating videos or podcasts. We naturally worry about rambling or sounding monotone, especially when we attach our business reputation to the content.

This is an entire skillset to develop! You can shorten this learning curve if you choose to work with a remote director. You can get real-time feedback on your pacing, prosody, or even how you communicate ideas.

1. Why recording solo feels unnatural for professionals new to performing
2. The kinds of problems a remote director solves in real-time
3. How to stop comparing your... chapter 1 to their chapter 10
