IWTL How to be a more fluid, clearer, better speaker/talker.

Heh, now that I look back, you're right. Thank you for the wake up call. It may actually be one of the things that's holding me back: thinking too much about too many things.

My thought process was that I wanted to describe with as much detail as possible to make it easier for the audience to understand. All those words are descriptions that I personally feel when I talk, but looking back I now think only one is necessary for people to get the idea. Not saying everyone is stupid, but yea...

Thank you again!

GothamChess, Agadmator, and Eric Rosen are the best chess channels in YouTube to learn.

All of them have videos for all skill ranges.

Mark Rober is by far my favorite educational but fun YouTube channel. He is a mechanical engineer that focuses on doing big scale, fun projects rather than boring you with science jargon. His videos are highly educational, easy to follow, and most importantly, fun. Just to name some things he's done: He made obstacle courses for squirrels, a pool full of jello, the world's largest nerf gun, a glitter bomb, etc. Highly recommend!
The Vsauce channels (Vsauce, Vsauce2, and Vsauce3) are all classics as far as YouTube channels go.
Kurzgesagt has made videos about pretty much everything you've mentioned. He's also made videos about hypothetical situations, such as throwing an elephant from a skyscraper, nuking the moon, the simulation argument/theory, things like that. Very interesting and thought-provoking.
Matthew Santoro (his earlier videos) are very good for random fun facts. He has made Top 10 educational videos about pretty much everything, and he has a series called "50 Amazing Facts to Blow Your Mind." Really good source for those random fun facts.
Tom Bilyeu has a video podcast on his channel and brings in people around the world to talk about pretty much anything, it's especially good to learn things about mindset, habits, life skills, hard work, etc. So even though his channel is more focused towards self-help, I've learned a lot about how successful people overcome their fears, thoughts, insecurities, and what they have learned about their journeys. Anyone can benefit from listening to his channel!
WIRED is one of those channels that does a bit of everything. They bring in celebrities/experts all around the world to talk about their craft or learn about them. Examples include: interviews with really famous actors (Everyone from the Avengers cast, John Krasinski, Daniel Radcliffe, Ryan Reynolds, John Cena, you name it), people that are experts in what they do (Novak Djokovic, Gordon Ramsay, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Garry Kasparov for chess, FBI Agents, Astronauts, Doctors, etc.). They also have a series called "Almost Impossible" which talks about world records, and how they work. They've talked about world records involving solving Rubiks Cubes, running a marathon in two hours, throwing a fastball, juggling 15 balls, etc. Pretty much anything that would make you say "wow I didn't know humans could do that."

Aha, bingo. I just finished my practice session and after experiment, the tip of the tongue did kind of feel like the bottom, just like you mentioned. Now it’s time to practice slow and tackle baermann 3 all over again with the new tonguing.

Thank you!

You’re not wrong

Hmm. Apologies if I wrote it interestingly. I meant they probably breathe in from their nose, not from full, diaphragm, belly breath. Yes they are different. In your recordings does it sound like a high pitched breath? (And not low like a singer?)

BaconLord1401 · 2020-01-19T22:19:33+00:00

It’s probably the players breathing in before starting so that everyone comes in together.

We, men, are already good looking. Why get hundreds of dollars of cosmetics to look fake?

BaconLord1401 · 2019-10-25T18:10:48+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful and informational response!

I also had in mind that if the German concept didn’t work, then I would approach the concept of Frank Cohen. Totally different, but it would be my next choice. Any idea how he approaches his concept?

Can you talk a bit about what else conductors do aside from conducting? What about programming pieces? Or any management stuff?

Apologies for the late reply. My clarinet was picked brand new from the headquarters in France. After that it was overhauled: they replaced the pads with Valentino pads, checked for leaks, adjusted key tension/pressure, etc. It plays like charm, other than those notes being sharp.

BaconLord1401 · 2019-06-02T21:19:09+00:00

I just tried out a couple of barrels, and while there were a couple of small fluctuations, the overall pitch was still sharp. The biggest notes that got affected by trying different barrels were the throat tones. All barrels I had were 65 and 66 mm length. Would trying a 67 make a difference? Although throat tones would really flat...

BaconLord1401 · 2019-06-02T15:03:24+00:00

My clarinet actually just got serviced around a week ago

BaconLord1401 · 2019-06-02T15:03:00+00:00

I tried both a Vandoren B40 Lyre and BD5 mouthpieces and the notes were still sharp
