26
00:01:43.412 --> 00:01:49.645
you used to like once you

27
00:01:49.761 --> 00:01:54.854
did the interview in English to talking to the first French woman

28
00:01:54.821 --> 00:02:00.250
Astronaut Astronaut exactly exactly I love that yeah me too yeah she was so inspiring

29
00:02:00.132 --> 00:02:04.487
so many ways so do you still get to do the English interview often

30
00:02:04.371 --> 00:02:04.789

31
00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:12.634
not anymore not as much as I would like and not as much as before actually your your your problem is kind of like

32
00:02:12.762 --> 00:02:15.777
a similar to most people's problem

33
00:02:15.641 --> 00:02:21.035
in Thailand because we have been taking all these courses and classes in English

34
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.283
since we are what like

35
00:02:22.169 --> 00:02:25.292
7 right and we don't get to use English

36
00:02:25.441 --> 00:02:26.135
almost

37
00:02:26.273 --> 00:02:26.976
never

38
00:02:27.042 --> 00:02:30.519
then you have to create opportunities for yourself to

39
00:02:30.309 --> 00:02:35.592
speaking the front of the camera or sometimes I'll just um pick out an articles

40
00:02:35.761 --> 00:02:39.014
an article and they just read it out aloud so that

41
00:02:38.890 --> 00:02:40.208
I won't forget

42
00:02:40.110 --> 00:02:43.005
yeah just like any skills on Earth

43
00:02:42.609 --> 00:02:45.582
if you want to maintain it and

44
00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:46.728
keep it up

45
00:02:46.901 --> 00:02:52.716
you have to practice yeah so that's what I'm doing every day as well unfortunate in the sense

46
00:02:52.350 --> 00:02:54.342
that in my line of job

47
00:02:53.950 --> 00:02:59.443
I get to practice English 1 way or another so I think that's how

48
00:02:59.331 --> 00:03:00.148
I

49
00:03:00.161 --> 00:03:01.964
key polishing my English

50
00:03:01.888 --> 00:03:05.853
well it's funny you mentioned like talking in front of camera because

51
00:03:05.799 --> 00:03:12.847
30 years ago it would be so hard like impossible for you to talk in front of a camera but right now everybody has camera

52
00:03:12.718 --> 00:03:13.199

53
00:03:13.289 --> 00:03:20.754
in their own hands so you can just talk to camera whenever you can put content on Tik Tok you can put content on YouTube

54
00:03:20.850 --> 00:03:21.441

55
00:03:21.808 --> 00:03:22.854
done right

56
00:03:23.028 --> 00:03:29.676
I used to talk in front of the mirror actually oh really to look at myself not so much on the camera yeah but I think camera is

57
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:37.834
can help because you can replay and look at yourself how you look or how you sound when you speak in Thai English or whatever languages

58
00:03:37.568 --> 00:03:38.330
that you want

59
00:03:38.281 --> 00:03:43.494
was that what you do when you're uh still anchoring at the nation and on TV

60
00:03:43.409 --> 00:03:49.741
uh in the beginning in the beginning yeah I'll just practice by myself at home

61
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.705
um speaking out loud so that I would

62
00:03:53.647 --> 00:04:01.013
come my my nerve down somehow because I get excited too you mentioned before we started taping

63
00:04:00.958 --> 00:04:02.420
that you were nervous

64
00:04:02.368 --> 00:04:04.691
and they couldn't believe it because you've done this

65
00:04:04.608 --> 00:04:10.606
for you have been doing this for over 20 years exactly but you still get nervous but I've never

66
00:04:10.688 --> 00:04:12.855
talk to you

67
00:04:12.678 --> 00:04:15.439
okay so I'm excited to be meeting you

68
00:04:15.368 --> 00:04:16.954
so that's a good excitement

69
00:04:17.038 --> 00:04:27.038
yeah that's a good kind of excitement yes I look forward to getting to talk to you oh me too same here so I'm also excited about the show today so um let's go back to

70
00:04:27.856 --> 00:04:28.526

71
00:04:28.949 --> 00:04:30.076
20 years ago

72
00:04:30.037 --> 00:04:30.422

73
00:04:30.167 --> 00:04:35.745
when you first started um before you got this job as a

74
00:04:35.678 --> 00:04:37.053
news anchor

75
00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:38.780
what did you do then

76
00:04:39.009 --> 00:04:44.644
before that before that um before that I spent a short time at Boi

77
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:50.737
Thailand's Board of Investments okay and then before that I just graduated from University

78
00:04:50.798 --> 00:04:51.842
so it's

79
00:04:51.569 --> 00:04:58.518
it was a very short time at Boi and then I went to um Nation TV so I it was 1 of your first jobs

80
00:04:58.677 --> 00:05:00.760
you started out in in the business

81
00:05:00.787 --> 00:05:06.268
exactly how did you train yourself or how did you uh practice to be on camera

82
00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:08.414
besides talking in front of a mirror of course

83
00:05:08.407 --> 00:05:15.021
uh I look at how other people do it like or all the other more

84
00:05:15.007 --> 00:05:18.062
experience um journalists do it and then

85
00:05:18.148 --> 00:05:24.961
keep on doing it I guess practice makes perfect so the more you do it then you're more the more you get the

86
00:05:24.687 --> 00:05:29.984
feel of it and I guess that's how I would start to feel more comfortable about

87
00:05:30.126 --> 00:05:35.428
saying things or reporting in front of the camera did you have any Idol that you look up to

88
00:05:35.376 --> 00:05:37.965
and try to probably learn from

89
00:05:37.946 --> 00:05:42.855
the Styles the um uh the way they like report news

90
00:05:42.748 --> 00:05:48.076
um not so much of the style but I think I learned a lot from

91
00:05:48.256 --> 00:05:51.917
um especially how he would focus on the content

92
00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:53.014
of

93
00:05:53.326 --> 00:06:01.030
we want to say and not so much about

94
00:05:56.136 --> 00:06:03.341
how we look so that's what he and a lot of people look up to Keisha and still today he's still doing news

95
00:06:03.316 --> 00:06:09.364
exactly that's amazing and he's been like developing he's been uh changing he's been

96
00:06:09.205 --> 00:06:11.461
um like going with the trends

97
00:06:11.517 --> 00:06:12.553
that's amazing

98
00:06:12.478 --> 00:06:17.827
on his part exactly so working with him I learned a lot especially how he

99
00:06:17.859 --> 00:06:19.171
she just doesn't stop

100
00:06:19.265 --> 00:06:19.928
yeah

101
00:06:19.845 --> 00:06:22.995
he keeps on running so in order to keep up with him

102
00:06:23.237 --> 00:06:28.508
at least I have to jog right or else he will be so far ahead that I can't catch up with him

103
00:06:28.488 --> 00:06:34.080
so he has been a role model in many ways as a journalist as

104
00:06:33.937 --> 00:06:36.060
a person who is very

105
00:06:35.925 --> 00:06:41.395
diligent and hardworking and he's always curious about the world around him

106
00:06:41.237 --> 00:06:43.130
so you were like fresh

107
00:06:43.036 --> 00:06:46.976
out of college so to speak more or less yeah more or less and

108
00:06:46.936 --> 00:06:50.377
when was the first time that you got the feelings that

109
00:06:50.847 --> 00:06:51.813
I got it

110
00:06:52.006 --> 00:06:55.163
I have already discovered who I am

111
00:06:55.136 --> 00:06:59.467
on camera and I have my style and I'm confident now

112
00:06:59.496 --> 00:06:59.862

113
00:07:00.397 --> 00:07:06.753
oh it took up quite a long while yeah yeah years or months at least half a year

114
00:07:06.547 --> 00:07:10.460
here I think oh okay yeah before before I can

115
00:07:10.387 --> 00:07:11.950
control myself

116
00:07:11.925 --> 00:07:13.240
to the point that

117
00:07:13.327 --> 00:07:14.356
my heart

118
00:07:14.807 --> 00:07:21.011
it would be it faster whenever you know the cameraman say 54321 and then camera right

119
00:07:20.957 --> 00:07:26.751
yeah my heart would beat faster but then the time that I can calm it down

120
00:07:26.725 --> 00:07:31.300
be shorter and shorter ah you control yourself better yeah a little bit

121
00:07:31.335 --> 00:07:36.582
by bit by bit I think right okay and how about when you first

122
00:07:36.774 --> 00:07:37.915
know that you

123
00:07:37.866 --> 00:07:43.335
kind of develop your own style that people can tell the difference between without and other people

124
00:07:43.446 --> 00:07:44.358
oh that

125
00:07:44.466 --> 00:07:50.533
that I really I think I have to ask the audience for that yeah because I'm just being myself I guess I don't

126
00:07:50.616 --> 00:07:53.089
I don't plan on

127
00:07:53.176 --> 00:07:59.156
how I will be on camera I I don't plan on that at all I'm just being myself like that

128
00:07:58.815 --> 00:08:01.305
right talking to you okay and I think

129
00:08:01.314 --> 00:08:02.456
it is um

130
00:08:02.725 --> 00:08:03.840
it's just natural

131
00:08:03.945 --> 00:08:09.328
so there's no intentional design know in advance of how you want to look

132
00:08:09.126 --> 00:08:10.011
or no

133
00:08:09.897 --> 00:08:14.453
not at all this I see yeah this is me this is the way I am yeah

134
00:08:14.837 --> 00:08:16.130
and people love that

135
00:08:16.246 --> 00:08:21.167
oh thank you yeah me too oh thank you thank you I think everyone is unique

136
00:08:21.118 --> 00:08:23.075
like I look at you

137
00:08:23.098 --> 00:08:28.402
you're yourself the way you talk the way you react and I think we all can sense that

138
00:08:28.926 --> 00:08:32.101
that's the sincerity right that we

139
00:08:32.067 --> 00:08:35.942
talk to them on camera yeah but

140
00:08:35.846 --> 00:08:37.915
anyway you came before me like

141
00:08:37.768 --> 00:08:39.176
15 years

142
00:08:39.047 --> 00:08:44.853
at least so I I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot from you today

143
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:45.767
so

144
00:08:45.588 --> 00:08:49.208
I I was curious what you think about how

145
00:08:49.047 --> 00:08:50.601
easy it seems

146
00:08:50.577 --> 00:08:53.769
for a lot of people to just be on camera and act

147
00:08:53.596 --> 00:08:54.159

148
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.791
a reporter or

149
00:08:55.766 --> 00:08:59.512
do you know really report uh from these things

150
00:08:59.417 --> 00:09:01.170
sometimes or

151
00:09:01.157 --> 00:09:04.752
to like analyze whatever is going on in the world

152
00:09:04.608 --> 00:09:04.859

153
00:09:04.926 --> 00:09:06.955
it was pretty easy today

154
00:09:06.918 --> 00:09:13.355
like um you know the opportunity that they can learn and uh speaking English uh opportunity to

155
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.278
track sees themselves in front of a camera and Technology helps a lot too

156
00:09:17.358 --> 00:09:21.619
it's pretty easy and how how how do you think about that um I think

157
00:09:21.528 --> 00:09:22.048

158
00:09:22.418 --> 00:09:26.996
easier in the sense that technology helps with the flow of information right

159
00:09:26.847 --> 00:09:32.323
it's very easy to find information um from Google from the internet

160
00:09:32.477 --> 00:09:33.106
but

161
00:09:33.248 --> 00:09:39.497
at the same time because of this overflow of information I think you have to really be able to

162
00:09:39.396 --> 00:09:40.364
distinguish

163
00:09:40.417 --> 00:09:42.248
what is what is fake news

164
00:09:42.216 --> 00:09:44.779
what is real news what is facts

165
00:09:44.527 --> 00:09:47.267
and what is opinion I think

166
00:09:47.146 --> 00:09:50.637
that's the line that you must be able to draw

167
00:09:50.487 --> 00:09:50.707

168
00:09:50.807 --> 00:09:53.473
with all the information that you see

169
00:09:53.488 --> 00:10:00.396
yeah so you don't see it as a problem or a threat for someone who came before like a lot of photographers out there

170
00:10:00.156 --> 00:10:03.188
here we're talking about how you know

171
00:10:03.167 --> 00:10:08.905
technology these days or you know the the quality of the camera on on the phone can

172
00:10:09.057 --> 00:10:09.727
can

173
00:10:09.831 --> 00:10:12.663
enable a lot of people to be

174
00:10:12.898 --> 00:10:16.966
almost as good or even better than a professional photographer

175
00:10:16.937 --> 00:10:19.015
so you don't have any problem with that
