My first Floxy Friday Night! X3

Published by Rarit E in the blog The Fancy & Fabulous Rarit E Blog!. Views: 445

So for those of you who weren't here just now. This was the first time i joined Foxy, Flash and several others on Floxy's Friday Night broadcast, and i contributed... absolutely nothing! X3

Why was i on the call with them? Well you might already know if you read Foxy's new Community Post, but if you haven't. I'm now a Forum Moderator. Where is your god now!? >:D

But enough of that, you'll be able to comment plenty about it in Foxy's blog, i assume.

As for the broadcast, i was horribly quiet, and i hated myself a bit for that. I was hoping to contribute at least a few funny comments if nothing else. One reason for being quiet may have been i'm a tad microphone shy, which is the complete opposite of what i am when i'm just posting stuff.

Another reason for it is probably Floxy Friday Night is litteraly around midnight for me, and that means two things. I'm tired, and my neighbors can possibly hear me speaking even if i'm not all that loud, which in turn makes me feel awkward for speaking in a different language in the middle of the night when possibly everyone around me can hear what i'm saying. But i don't know if they can actually hear me for sure. XD

There was also the fact in this case that mostly the discussion started and ended with technical stuff about games and whatnot, about which i know close to nothing. :p

In any case. If anyone has some good tips for me to actually be able to squeeze my voice into a live conversation, please post them here. I intend to join more Floxy broadcasts when and if i can, but i really wanna get rid of that "not talking at all" bussiness. I was that "awkward guy silently laughing in the corner", and i really want to change that next time.

    I was one of the first to congradulate you sir Rarit E :3

    there is no shame in being microphone shy. A good stratagy is to push yourself and not let yourself avoid your fear.

    I missed the friday night broadcast? And Rarit E was in it?
    >.<

    Watching Olympics right now...I suppose it's worth it

    But Jhera, the Olympics weren't even on during the broadcast time for you... were they?

    Congratulations (for like the third or something time xD) on the new position Rarit E! It's ok, I had pretty much nothing to contribute either. I got over my "oh geez I'm in a public call where everypony can hear me" shyness after the first time I was in the Floxy Show. So yeah, my first time I was super nervous. This was my second, and I ended up being super excited to be in it. So my goal is if I can't contribute much to the conversation at hand, then I'll try to make the other staff laugh with the occasional comedic quip. I also had fun interacting with the chat, since it seems like those discussing games neglected it for a bit. Something to improve on, huzzah!

    Also, for the very few things i did say, how was my accent? Because honestly, i thought my voice was crap. XD

    You never know what you actually sound like unless you record your own voice and listen to it. I've been thinking about speaking with some sort of british accent to hide my actual voice.

    No, don't do that! I thought you sounded fine. I'm the one with the awful voice.

    Rarit E, if ya want a suggestion, just let your mind flow when your on the mic. Used to be mic shy myself when I first started online gaming and using Vent/TS, but as soon as I just let my mind flow, I lost that shyness and started making everyone laugh WITH ME (rather than at me xD)...and maybe I'll tune in next week to hear you guys have a go at the live stream. And don't hide your voice please lol we're all fellow bronies here.
