Yeah, lemmy fill my mouth up with candy and do a line so, not even I can understand what I'm saying!

[recordingreview]

@klauth35 I'm working on this. I'm an audio engineer, not Dan Rather. Speaking in front of a camera is BRAND NEW to me. Sorry for the trouble.

can you please stop swallowing so much? the first couple videos, it was like, alright, he might be sick... but it seems like you have some serious biological disorder or you don't chill out enough to let your mouth salivate normally. whatever it is... please try fixing it, because it is rather annoying, and it distracts the viewer

@namenottaken0 The swallowing is me trying to hold back the coughing. It's caused from exhaustion. If you put a few 95 hour weeks in, use coffee to keep you going, and then start talking in front of a camera you''ll most likely do the same.

and lots of bands use bbe gear

[recordingreview]

@john0222 But not a lot of recording engineers. I always like to say that the Sonic Maximizers take my $2,000 microphones and make them sound like $100 microphones.

I do not believe it. You do it in all your videos. I believe it is a bad habit you have developed from a young age. To be very honest if you are going to speak in public or on a video that is of interest to many people... don't get me wrong I like your videos but you really need to work on that, I found myself paying more attention to your bad swallowing habit than the info you shared in your video. I would say it is like saying umm for you, it has become your filler. Slow the freak down.

@recordingreview Argh, the swallowing is a Brandon Drury Trademark! You can't lose that!

[namenottaken0]

@recordingreview Ah I see. Well excuse me for my dryness but it is rather distractful and I think many viewers would appreciate if you at least drank some water to help you out and speed up the process. Also, slowing down or cutting off your consumption of coffee would also probably help with that. I hope you take these suggestions into consideration.
