I have recently started being active on my YouTube page once again; however, I’ve decided to be in front of the camera this time. Considering that I have no experience creating YouTube videos, I am essentially starting in a garage per se. That is to say, I am beginning in all its rawness, clutter, and lack of direction or clear focus, just an idea and moving forward with it.
Like a new band practicing in a garage, I am practicing in
the comfort of my apartment the ability to create YouTube videos, knowing that
the beginning stages are just becoming familiar with not only the instruments
but my ability to perform in front of a live audience, even though at first
they are my friends or the occasional stranger who pop there head in from time
to time to watch me perform.
It is the quintessential beginning of starting, like a band
in a garage, as I allot myself the freedom to mess up, to feel comfortable in
not knowing exactly what I am doing and knowing that it’s not going to be
perfect the first time, second or even the third time around.
As I tune my instruments, test out the sounds and adjust the
lighting, I learn what works and what doesn’t, plus the feedback from those who
had to suffer from the first performance as they helped me with advice or
encouragement to move forward. Who
knows, in the years to come, I may be the next Van Halen, Journey, or even the
prolific Pew Die Pie, YouTube's most famous YouTubers, but as of now, I’m just
practicing chopsticks in a garage, one note at a time.
