Someone literally wrote to me saying she didn't like the colour of lighting in my room on my video. Others complain of a "thick" British accent โ I was born in England and speak English, get over it. Then there are the moaners about my diction... but they don't know I have chronic airway problems and had an op in the 1990s to help me deal with it, so no I can't change it.
There are moments when I wonder why I bother. Don't like video as a medium. Just trying it out because some people like the personable intimacy of it and I can dish out some extra encouragement. Speaking to my unresponsive phone in an empty room is weird and my brain isn't really able to pretend it's normal.

๐trying to destabilise you because they know you work in the light..delete.... negativity needs to be ignored ...many listen to you and admire/love your work ... ๐
Love what you do Martin. Don't give the negatives any of your beautiful mind-space. But do know this, they show up because you do such great work....that so many of us appreciate ๐
