We Interrupt this LATE Halloween Video ...

[mieses2pieces]

Great acting Betty! lol

RENETTO? OMG!! Why Betty, why?

[kalacaw]

HAHA! George, I thought I'd answered this comment before. Sorry! The person I made this video for watches Renetto and has sometimes commented on him. That's why I did it. :)

Although, Renetto does call me for advice everyday. That's a fact I just made up. :O

[mieses2pieces]

LOL!!

[mieses2pieces]

lol

[helivestubes]

I knew there was a reason I loved you!

;D

Helives!

[PlanetKalacaw]

Hey, Helives, it's kalacaw in disguise. I nearly had forgotten about this video! It's hard to believe that I've been on YT long enough to have two Halloween videos under my belt! :)

[fehquig]

A Renetto subscription? AIIIIGH!!!!

[kalacaw]

I have no desire to curse at you, StreetFightBroadcast. There are better ways to handle these situations.

[ockteby]

Just wanted to pop in again, and say, "I watch this video several times each week".

Frank

[kalacaw]

Frank, do you know I never saw this? I'm so sorry! First, thank you for saying this. I have noticed that I don't always get email notifications for comments on older videos. I would never deliberately ignore one of your comments. :)

[MrsAtomicUs5000]

Aaaw... He didn't know about your hair as I did... Does that mean I am special??? :o)

[AtomicUs5000]

Oh yeah? Well I noticed she flashed the peace sign!! so pbtbthbthbthbtthhh

[MrsAtomicUs5000]

Aja! Well I noticed her MEXICAN CALACA!! So pbtbthbthbthbtthhh back! Ja ja!!!

[kalacaw]

Yes! You are very special! JAJA! :) HEY! Wait a minute! "Calaca!" That's like kalacaw! That's my name!

[MrsAtomicUs5000]

Lol... "Calaca" would be a way to call a skull for Mexicans holidays lol...

[kalacaw]

I know! I looked it up. My name is skull?! :D

[kalacaw]

Yes! You are very special! JAJA! :)

[kalacaw]

Yes!  You are very special! JAJA! :)

[MrsAtomicUs5000]

Noooooo!!! Why??? Whyyy???? LOL...

[kalacaw]

You mean renetto? It had to be done! Even I was surprised - JAJA!

[AtomicUs5000]

lol. I have subscribed and unsubscribed a couple times from renetto. It's quite a mental thing and it plays on my emotions. He's always been in my friends list though. He has this face that is portrait material, but I would be afraid to do it.

Anyways... your hair!!! It's beautiful!!! You look great!

[MrsAtomicUs5000]

I knew about her hair nah nah nah nah nah nah!

[kalacaw]

... and that it's all gone nah nah nah nah nah! JaJa!

[kalacaw]

I've still yet to see any of his videos, even though I'm subscribed now! I saw one a long time ago, but I haven't seen any since. I can't say one thing about renetto, other than I know he's very controversial. Thanks for the compliment about my hair, but what hair? It's all gone! :D

[AtomicUs5000]

It's very modern and stylish.

Yeah renetto can be controversial, the thing with him though is that you never know what he really thinks. Awhile back he was more like any person, but these days it's like he just makes videos that can keep his stats up. I don't think it's doing well for him.

[kalacaw]

Well, I don't know about him, but some of my videos are days in the making (yours take a long time to make too, I know), and I am subbed to a lot of people. Span of control left the house a long time ago. Therefore, If I'm going to watch a vid, I want it to be the vid of a friend. Ergo: Five minutes of you beats five minutes of renetto. :)

[AtomicUs5000]

I feel the exact same way.

[JealousGuy]

Whoa!  Reckon I gotta see this movie now :D

[kalacaw]

It is a great movie, if you're looking for accuracy. :)

[dan9tee]

A fantastic recitation Betty! And what a scary ending!! Ah!! 5 stars! Dan =:D

[kalacaw]

I thought I'd replied to this already. I'm sorry! Yes, I get scared every time I see it again. I'm having nightmares now. It's horrible! :D

[cputb1]

Damn! Right before viewing this, I had just finished sketching out a idea where I would cut my hair, read a scene from Gods and Generals, and do it with a 40's Brooklyn accent next to a glowing skull. But now...

Well, back to the old drawing board. You snooze you lose I guess. Damn!

[kalacaw]

I'm sorry, CP!  Great minds think alike? :D

[kalacaw]

Also, is it Brooklyn? I've been wondering about tbat. I have a friend from the Bronx, and her dialect differs slightly. Hey CP, thanks for watching. :)

[cputb1]

It ain't Massapequa.

[illegalsmile64]

I missed u! lol. tres drole

[kalacaw]

Merci, illegalsmile64! I do apologize for my absense, but -- alas -- I was abducted by an alien spaceship again.

I HATE when tbat happens!!! ;-)

[illegalsmile64]

Lucky you, I've been talking to the sky for many years asking them to take ME away, but nothing happens...

[EmptySeed]

I like your new do Kalacooo.

[kalacaw]

My hair is short; that's my retort! :D

[JoeyLightning19]

Don't denigrate your abilities. Have you seen my Giuseppe and Guido characters?

Here's a new age answer: Keep exploring your inner actress, let her run free, hair flowing.

[kalacaw]

Okay! No self-denigration. And yes, I have seen your Giuseppe and Guido characters. I think they're great!

My inner actress can run as freely as she chooses, but I see a problem in the flowing hair department. I knew that haircut was a mistake! ;-)

[dleifyamjr]

Don't care what you said about the bad acting. I loved the clip. Great job!

[kalacaw]

Thanks, Randy! It's a little off-the-wall, though, isn't it? I'm starting to have more fun with accents in videos. I was afraid to do them at first, because I didn't want to offend anyone. ACK! I don't want to do that!

[ockteby]

I think you should do more of this, and display your talent. You wont offend anyone or as I usually say "anybody".

[kalacaw]

Thanks, Frank! I must say that your encouragement is enough for me to venture out.

[WolfForestWalker]

Ha! :D Great

[kalacaw]

Thanks! I don't know what part of my brain that came from, but thanks! :D

[woodenshoesjeroen]

O no, I mean flashy!

[kalacaw]

Flashy, falshy ... it's all a compliment, Jeroen, and I appreciate it! :-D

[woodenshoesjeroen]

haha, I'm glad you got it! :)

[woodenshoesjeroen]

Great vid Betty! Very funny. You look falshy btw! cheers, Jeroen.

[Soul2burn]

Definitely a five star presentation

[kalacaw]

Rejean! Bless your heart - thanks. I hope you're doing well. :}

[Soul2burn]

Having my coffee,getting ready to go to work,getting the snowblower ready for the 15cm of snow coming tonight.Batten down the hatches..

[kalacaw]

Ah! I'm working on my first cup of coffee too - ha! Sometims we get a lot of snow, and sometimes not.  I'll be thinking about you!

[mieses2pieces]

I think you could be in the movies or on the radio, Betty!! lol

[kalacaw]

That's quite a compliment, George. Thank you!  :D

[gleegirloz]

That'll make him stay Betty,surely! I couldn't hear an accent lol!(but then I am Australian!)I loved it , your vids always say something to me,even if it takes me a while haha!:)

[kalacaw]

Yeah, Glenda, they say that I'm nutz! HA! The gentleman I made the video for has an interest in the U.S. Civil War. That's my interest too, so we connecct on that level. In a business organization, he would be my superior, so I'm inclined to want to treat him that way here. Unfortunately, in this arrangement, that has sometimes meant being late for work, and calling in sick a lot. LOL :D

[Regplex]

that effect where it appeared that you subbed to renetto scared the hell out of me!!! i gotta know how you did that LOL!!!

[kalacaw]

It's easy, and I'll be happy to teac ... what?! WAIT! OH MY GOD! I really did subscribe to renetto! :-O

He hasn't thanked me yet, either. I noticed that right away. No card, no floweres, no nothing. What am I over here, chopped liver?

[LarenKee]

lol great video, I love your editing!

[kalacaw]

Hi Karen! I have a lot of fun in the editing departmnent. I can get lost in there for days and forget to come up for air. Thanks for the kind compliment! :)

[Gigolo8]

What accent?

[kalacaw]

HA! I don't know either. :D

[ockteby]

This is excellent, and your dialog was perfect.  I love it.

[kalacaw]

Thanks, Frank! It was off-the-wall, but I had a good time making it. Tomorrow I'd planned on making a video (serious, not like this) at the Burwell-Morgan Gristmill in Millwood (to go with the photos I took the other day). I don't think I can do it now, but they're grinding every Saturday until Thanksgiving, so I'll probably go next week. I thought that might make a nice video for my other channel.

[KyphosisKiel]

haha you are so good with accents.let me know if you need any help coping with the subscription to renetto.

[kalacaw]

"Coping with the subscription ..." HAHA! Thanks, Kiel! I'll take all the help I can get! :)

[Rotarrius]

subsribing to rennetto? say it aint so!

[kalacaw]

Rotarrius! I cannot say it ain't so as it is so! HA! How are you? I hope okay!

[Rotarrius]

i was subbed to him b4, but then i saw the light lol i'm great thanx

[NewYorkGardener]

The ending was very Frightening! lol

[kalacaw]

AAAARRRRGH!!! HA! I hope my horrible attempt at a NY accent wasn't too offensive.  ACK! I did the best I could for a Virginian. Sorry!

[NewYorkGardener]

The broadcaster accent was very good. Keep her for use in future videos!

I thought your civil war reading was also good.

[kalacaw]

Thanks!!! I always worry a little about insulting someone when I use an accent, but it's never meant to be an insult. :)

[grams1944]

Oh I just love this video too. I am saving it in my favorites. I needed a laugh today.

[kalacaw]

Thanks, Judy! Always happy to give you a laugh! In fact, I was thinking about Madame the other day, and how much you enjoyed her. I'll have to plan something for you soon. :)

[pinklantana]

Lol at the end, oh no! I like the voice, it suited that passage. :)

[kalacaw]

I was just having a bit of fun, but I want to make a more serious video about that battle one day. This was just for fun! :)

[josette54]

good to see you betty..sometimes I cant follow your videos but I like watching you anyway...hugs

[kalacaw]

Josette, you're such a dear for putting up with me. Hugs back and many of them! Sometimes I can't follow my videos either. What am I doing?!  Help' HA!

[flydarling]

Betty you are looking so glamorous is that a new hairstyle your sporting or just a look to get you in character? Cheers, Lesley

[kalacaw]

Hi Lesley! Two Lesleys in a row. This is a great day! I just got my hair cut last week. I had decided to stop coloring my hair, and cut the old color out. I'm gray, and loving it! Lesley, I hope you're having a wonderful day! :)

[LeSaMilano]

ayou are so courageuos hitting that orange button...or is that cowardly? Was this under duress?

loved you mic prop!! And if you can't act you still haven't convinced me ;)

[kalacaw]

Ah, hello Lesley! What a lovely day I will have because you were here! The prop is a condensor mic, and will pick up the moon. It's a better prop, probably, than actual mic for this purpose. :D

[KurtGnu]

Now, THAT was scary.. subscribing to Renetto.. you have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy.. :) That is a very drastic step.. just hope it'll work! Great video.. :)

[kalacaw]

We do what we have to do - HA! I think I've only seen one of his videos, to be honest. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!  :)

[KurtGnu]

There's hope yet for humanity, then.. I have to say I unsubbed a long time ago, it was just too much drama.. and precious few laughs.. :) Still, that is MY opinion.. I know he has many supporters.. :)

[kalacaw]

Well, as I said, I've only seen one of his vids. I don't mind a little drama, but I'll walk away from someone's vids too. Usually, arrogance or hate are to blame. Yuk. We're faced with enough of that -- and too much of it -- in the real world. But, it's a happy day today!  :)

[KurtGnu]

Excellent.. I like happy days!! Renetto just got too deeply involved in arguing wih another Y'Tuber, which is the main reason I unsubbed! He used to be quite funny.. anyway, nobody's perfect, I lost another sub today, so I don't appeal to all, neither.. :)

[kalacaw]

That's never a happy moment, Robert, to see a lower number than the one you had the day before. Been there; done that. Sorry!

:(

[KurtGnu]

Oh, that's ok.. it's not the first time, by far.. in the beginning it upset me, but it happens, and I'm used to it now. I have my regular 'commentators' and as long as THEY don't give up on me, I'm happy.. :D ..but I appreciate ALL who comment, if only now and again, or take their time to view and rate, at least.. :D I'm just happy if anybody at all views.. :)

[BattlefieldDoktor]

omg omg omg .... you subscribed to renetto :-P Hahahaha, I did this many many months ago but I liked his old character more than his loooooong vlogs ;o)

By the way, your new microphone totally rocks! Looks like a mic from the music dept - I know the music dept has the best mics you can get. Congrats on it - it has great sound!

[kalacaw]

I hate to tell you this, Sven, but the mic wasn't plugged in. HA! I'm working with a Logitech webcam mic. The mic in the video is a condensor mic. The person I made this video for is a renetto fan, so I dutifully subscribed. :-D

[BattlefieldDoktor]

hehehe, but I have to say the webcam mic is way better than the other mic you usually use ;o)

[kalacaw]

I know what happened with the audio, but I don't know why it happened. If I render a video in WMM, then bring it into Adobe Premier to edit further, the audio is adversly affected. I don't know the reason, but it's very annoying!

[BattlefieldDoktor]

Maybe it is the format. You should render it in high quality first ... AVI or WMV 2,1 MBit/s

[kalacaw]

Okay, I'll try that. What would really help is if I could do everything I want to do in Adobe Premier. It's more robust than WMM, and has other features, but I just can't seem to add music or narration. Very frustrating.

[BattlefieldDoktor]

I mostly only do the special effect stuff at Premiere (I've only a pretty old version) and do the most editing on WMM as I am more used into it. I found out the WMM runs very reliable if you're editing WMV-files - with AVI (especially DiVX) and other formats it's often crashing but very seldom with WMV.

[moomay11649]

I GIVE YOU 5 STARS!

[kalacaw]

Bless you! I was thinking of you earlier this morning, Moomay, and that I wanted to go to your channel today. I seem to be catching up slowing, but bless your heart for giving me a fiver. :)

In one of Gil's video comments, he referred to your comments as "having been Moomayed." Is that the cutest, or what? :-D
