Yesterday I made my acting debut in a video to go on my
profile. Unfortunately my debut would also be my retirement. The weird thing is
that I’m not a shy person and I’m more than comfortable giving long speeches
in front of huge crowds but the second the camera turned on I froze like a kid
getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar. The first thing I started out
with was, “Hi! It’s me... ugh, umm.” Followed by my boss stopping the recorded
and saying, “did you just forget your own name?” Well yes, yes I did and now he
knows I will never leave this job for an acting career. After about a thousand
tries of messing up due to forgetting the right words, blushing, squinting my
eyes and not smiling I took a deep breath in, thought about how I will never be
famous now, breathed out and messed up again. After about an hour of what would
have been an amazing blooper reel we finally got three “good enough” takes and
I was back to work putting up job ads for video bloggers that are the opposite
in front of the camera then I am!
