Music Blogging for Content and Gender

I’ve never formed an opinion about a blog based on the sex of the author. To be quite honest, there are several music-related blogs I read daily that could be written by a man or a woman and I wouldn’t have any idea one way or another.

You brought your A-game yesterday, La Shawn. Our hardwork paid off and the feedback forms showed that people got a hold of our excitement and really gained from attending the session.

Well done!

Way cool LaShawn. I hope C-Span covers this event. The speakers line up is very impressive. I would love to hear the discussions on immigration reform.

I have done some limited speaking and teaching and preparation is very important, but confidence in yourself is key which directly relates to knowledge of your topic. You will shine.

I love reading about people’s out of body experiences.

Seriously La Shawn, congrats on being able to speak in public. I get all red in the face when I have to leave a message on an answering machine! Tis why I’m a photographer and blogger, and not a televangelist. (now there’s some people who have no problem getting up in front of people and looking silly!)

Have you considered expouding on your recipe for beating the jitters? I’m thinking this would make for a very helpful article for those less experienced in public speaking. I would definitely be interested. (Details, details!)

Now that you’re prepared, La Shawn, just have fun with it! You’ll do fine, I’m sure.

Congratulations, you’ve climbed another mountain. When speaking before large crowds, I always find it helpful to pick out a friendly face about halfway back in the crowd. I talk to that person and hope they don’t fall asleep on me! LOL

I totally agreed with your last post, but the comments were closed when I got to it!

As someone who would rather have multiple root canals than speak in front of a live audience, I can only imagine the joy you are feeling having beat the jitters today, LaShawn! Congratulations! I am rejoicing with you!

Lashawn:
Enjoyed your candid reflections preparing for the presentation. Many of us have been there. But you better get good at it, as your voice is heard more and more you will be speaking more and more.
Your values and sense of reality are so refreshing.

Well, Congratulations on the continuing education. I had wondered why there was not a post in your blog today, glad to know you had a blast and I look forward to hearing about it and seeing the pix…

And we ALL want to know what “Glenn Reynolds has to say…”
