and Tracks video production was reborn

So, Where Is This All Headed?
I will never teach another video class like I did for 19 years at PCHS. But a little video club I sponsored in spring semester 2025 at PC Early College inspired me to make video at least an element in the class or club I am now most passionate about, Public Speaking and Youth Toastmasters. Previously, I taught a dozen college public speaking classes until 2022 as an adjunct instructor at BRCC.
I hope I may teach public speaking or a Youth Toastmasters again. Why include video? Because of elements that so strongly reinforce public speaking like voice-over, acting, and visualization in storytelling.
The most exciting video revival project is NOT featured yet on this page: with these three: 1) a story of a young person that has an interview, a stand-up, interesting composition, and voice-over (like my son at UNC-C)1) a story of a recreational sport using titles, 2) a story using a stand-up, five objects in a room showing dramatic composition, and a voice-over; 3) a stand-up, and voice-over (like here on pickleball at Reuter's Y in Arden); .
A trip to the Grand Canyon in May 2026 with my son will be THE project that I'll be putting my heart and soul into and feature here.
A streamlined website with a very unappealing URL (because it came as a free copy) was created to focus on public speaking elements that could be enhanced with video:
stand-ups,
voice-over,
select speeches, as oration,
interviewing, and
acting,
