Hi Steve,
Share with us what you talked about on Fox.
Hi Steve,
Great advice as we sometimes forget to watch our tongue.
This also applies when giving a speech as you never know who could be listening or watching you in a room full of people. We must always be on our best behaviour until we get to our hotel room where we can kick off our shoes and relax.
The video was ok but it’s for people with stage freight or get nervous knowing they are on a show or speaaking engagement, for me it was typical
I have learned that once I get out of bed, someone is watching all the time. Whether its my kids at home, my colleagues in the world, or strangers on the street, someone is always watching and listening. Wearing a microphone amplifies the voice increasing the size of the audience….which must be considered. I believe I must condition my mind at all times using caution with what I say AND do. Sure there are things that can be done off set, where there is more leeway, that if done on TV there are huge repercussions. Getting into the mindset and habits that someone is always watching makes the interview more real.
Steve.
Simple, practical and to the point.
I am looking forward to my next mic and camera events.

Thanks for the “sound” advice!

I remember when Ronald Reagan was setting up for a press conference and before he went on the air, he was testing the mike and made a joke saying that his new foreign policy with the Soviets was to begin bombing in 5 minutes. There were many mikes that picked that up. Needless to say, the press had a field day with that.
Brenda & I just did a couple TV interviews–one taped and one live on Utah’s largest TV station and I did actually think of that when they hooked up the lapel mike to my suit while we waited to go on the set so we sat very quiet in the green room before going on the air.
I also knew of a speaker who forgot to take off his mike after he walked off stage and went into the men’s room–it picked up every sound and everything he said before someone chased him down to turn it off–horribly humiliating for him!
Good reminder and good advice.
Steve,
As an aircraft pilot, I’ve made a lot of radio transmissions over the years. You’re wearing a microphone every minute you’re in the cockpit. You use it to talk to the ground, to other aircraft, and even to the other people in the aircraft with you.
It’s so easy to forget you’re wearing it . . . until the wrong words go out over the air.
(Yep – I’ve done it. Fortunately nothing catastrophic, but definitely embarrassing.)
Thanks for your great reminder – treat all microphones as “live” (especially the dead ones!).
Wiz…
I don’t think there is really anything to add here. It’s a great point that needs to be made from time to time. Thanks for the reminder, Steve.
Thanks for the reminder. It can be quite embarrassing when you say stuff that you do not want to be broadcast off the set. All the best with your tour Steve.
The taboo topics of: religion, politics, healthcare, public education, and the judicial system will always present some rather colorful forums of debate. As a veteran Vegas entertainer / aspiring public speaker, I absolutely THRIVE on delivering controversy–but in a “family-friendly” medium…shock them, then offer them a box of kittens. Works every time!
I LOVE the biz of entertainment!
