How accurate is your perception of yourself?
"I haven't seen myself rock out yet, but I hear I'm pretty intense." ~ Kyle Reinneck, American Idol contestantThe judges didn't agree; in fact, they found him a little scary - not the "intense" vibe he was going for. He seemed genuinely shocked when they said his audition was "demonic" and disturbing, and his eyes were "menacing."
He actually seemed like a sweet young guy, not demonic at all - a camp counselor who brought along a poster with pictures of his first and second graders.
Do you think Kyle might have presented a different audition if he had videotaped himself and analyzed his performance? Might he have been more aware of his actual persona when performing?
Another reason to record yourself, peeps.

I've done the video thing several times during my horseback riding days. You really understand why the instructor says what she/he says when you see yourself.
It is amazing too that once you see yourself on video, the corrections are more easily made.
One of my clients had a major breakthrough when he saw himself on video: he realized that 1) he wasn't as "bad" as he thought he'd be and 2) it was all fixable!
Until you see yourself on video, you really don't have a clear picture of how you're presenting yourself.
