To spare you the drama of wondering what happens in the video above…I didn’t make it to the next round. But that’s ok! As I’ve said before, in the past few weeks I’ve learned so much about myself, my abilities, and where I thought my limits were that I wouldn’t trade that knowledge for all the followers on twitter.
This experience has changed how I approach my life, and for that reason alone this contest is a personal success for me.
My interview for round two was published last night! I’m the third contestant…just look for the girl with the Microformats logo. This is the first time I’ve even watched my segment, and it’s unbelievably exhilarating to see myself fitting into this kind of role. It’s felt like ages since I last filmed up at the Mahalo offices for this, and now I’m so excited again that I can’t wait to go back!
What do you think? Let me and Mahalo know in the YouTube comments.
During the third round of the Mahalo Vlog Idol competition today, Sarah Atwood and I got to talking about the skills necessary for a good host, most notably the importance of geek cred. We both agreed that it’s easier to take someone technical with good presence and polish them up to become a better host than it is to take a professional host and teach her to "get it," and I expect the fans of Mahalo Daily would agree.
Next,
