for the audience and present it to you once a week I'm a big fan also thank you

24
00:01:44.007 --> 00:01:50.143
you used to like once you

25
00:01:50.286 --> 00:01:55.417
did the interview in English to talking to the first French woman

26
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:00.844
Astronaut Astronaut exactly exactly I love that yeah me too yeah she was so inspiring

27
00:02:00.669 --> 00:02:05.080
so many ways so do you still get to do the English interview often

28
00:02:04.896 --> 00:02:05.327

29
00:02:05.287 --> 00:02:12.528
not anymore not as much as I would like and not as much as before actually your your your problem is

30
00:02:12.327 --> 00:02:16.201
kind of like a similar to most people's problem

31
00:02:16.169 --> 00:02:21.478
in Thailand because we have been taking all these courses and classes in English

32
00:02:21.486 --> 00:02:22.838
since we are what like

33
00:02:22.706 --> 00:02:25.808
7 right and we don't get to use English

34
00:02:25.967 --> 00:02:26.596
almost

35
00:02:26.805 --> 00:02:27.594
never

36
00:02:27.579 --> 00:02:31.079
then you have to create opportunities for yourself to

37
00:02:30.846 --> 00:02:36.122
speak in the front of the camera or sometimes I'll just um pick out an articles

38
00:02:36.286 --> 00:02:39.603
an article and they just read it out aloud so that

39
00:02:39.427 --> 00:02:40.741
I won't forget

40
00:02:40.646 --> 00:02:43.176
yeah just like any skills on Earth

41
00:02:43.139 --> 00:02:46.135
if you want to maintain it and

42
00:02:46.407 --> 00:02:47.273
keep it up

43
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:53.226
you have to practice yeah so that's what I'm doing every day as well unfortunate in the sense

44
00:02:52.946 --> 00:02:54.504
that in my line of job

45
00:02:54.487 --> 00:02:59.904
I get to practice English 1 way or another so I think that's how

46
00:02:59.855 --> 00:03:00.709
I

47
00:03:00.698 --> 00:03:06.059
key polishing my English well it's funny you mentioned like talking in front of camera because

48
00:03:06.456 --> 00:03:13.509
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

49
00:03:13.828 --> 00:03:19.688
in their own hands so you can just talk to camera whenever you can put content on

50
00:03:19.466 --> 00:03:21.364
how you can put content on YouTube

51
00:03:21.385 --> 00:03:22.011

52
00:03:22.409 --> 00:03:23.409
done right

53
00:03:23.566 --> 00:03:30.227
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

54
00:03:29.966 --> 00:03:38.448
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 language is

55
00:03:38.165 --> 00:03:39.010
you want

56
00:03:38.876 --> 00:03:44.015
was that what you do when you uh still anchoring at the nation and on TV

57
00:03:43.936 --> 00:03:50.262
uh in the beginning in the beginning yeah I'll just practice by myself at home

58
00:03:50.406 --> 00:03:51.575
um

59
00:03:51.435 --> 00:03:54.180
speaking out loud so that I would

60
00:03:54.185 --> 00:04:01.700
calm my my nerve down somehow because I get excited too you mentioned before we started taping

61
00:04:01.485 --> 00:04:02.909
that you were nervous

62
00:04:02.896 --> 00:04:08.196
and I couldn't believe it because you've done this for you have been doing this for over 20 years

63
00:04:08.083 --> 00:04:13.455
exactly yeah you still get nervous but I've never talked to you

64
00:04:13.207 --> 00:04:15.959
okay so I'm excited to be meeting you

65
00:04:15.906 --> 00:04:17.427
so that's a good excitement

66
00:04:17.316 --> 00:04:17.607

67
00:04:17.565 --> 00:04:27.150
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

68
00:04:26.988 --> 00:04:29.077
so um let's go back to

69
00:04:29.487 --> 00:04:31.076
20 years ago

70
00:04:30.574 --> 00:04:36.348
when you first started um before you got this job as a

71
00:04:36.204 --> 00:04:37.646
news anchor

72
00:04:38.196 --> 00:04:39.337
what did you do then

73
00:04:39.604 --> 00:04:45.248
before that before that um before that I spent a short time at Boi

74
00:04:45.373 --> 00:04:51.267
Thailand's Board of Investments okay and then before that I just graduated from University

75
00:04:51.325 --> 00:04:52.174
so it's

76
00:04:52.034 --> 00:04:59.100
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

77
00:04:59.207 --> 00:05:01.282
you started out in in the business

78
00:05:01.326 --> 00:05:06.794
exactly how did you train yourself or how did you uh practice to be on camera

79
00:05:06.834 --> 00:05:08.835
besides talking in front of a mirror of course

80
00:05:08.943 --> 00:05:15.591
uh I look at how other people do it like or all the other more

81
00:05:15.543 --> 00:05:18.617
experience um journalists do it and then

82
00:05:18.685 --> 00:05:25.449
keep on doing it I guess practice makes perfect so the more you do it then you're more the more you get the

83
00:05:25.216 --> 00:05:26.143
feel of it

84
00:05:25.983 --> 00:05:30.592
and I guess that's how I would start to feel more comfortable about

85
00:05:30.603 --> 00:05:33.720
saying things or reporting in front of the camera

86
00:05:33.603 --> 00:05:38.634
did you have any Idol that you look up to and try to probably learn from

87
00:05:38.483 --> 00:05:43.382
like the Styles the um uh the way they like report news

88
00:05:43.282 --> 00:05:49.355
um not so much of the style but I think I learned a lot from

89
00:05:48.793 --> 00:05:52.428
um especially how he would focus on the content

90
00:05:52.513 --> 00:05:53.493
of

91
00:05:53.855 --> 00:05:56.767
we want to say and not so much about

92
00:05:56.674 --> 00:06:03.783
how we look so that's what he and a lot of people look up to consider and still today he's still doing news

93
00:06:03.913 --> 00:06:10.818
exactly that's amazing and he's been like developing he's been uh changing he's been

94
00:06:09.803 --> 00:06:12.047
um like going with the trends

95
00:06:12.116 --> 00:06:13.090
that's amazing

96
00:06:13.003 --> 00:06:18.381
on his part exactly so working with him I learned a lot especially how he

97
00:06:18.395 --> 00:06:19.682
she just doesn't stop

98
00:06:19.804 --> 00:06:20.436
yeah

99
00:06:20.374 --> 00:06:23.546
he keeps on running so in order to keep up with him

100
00:06:23.764 --> 00:06:29.087
at least I have to jog right or else he will be so far ahead that I can't catch up with him

101
00:06:29.024 --> 00:06:34.619
so he has been a role model in many ways as a journalist as

102
00:06:34.474 --> 00:06:36.547
a person who is very

103
00:06:36.452 --> 00:06:42.082
diligent and hardworking and he's always curious about the world around him

104
00:06:41.773 --> 00:06:43.782
so you were like fresh

105
00:06:43.561 --> 00:06:47.523
out of college so to speak more or less yeah more or less and

106
00:06:47.473 --> 00:06:50.871
when was the first time that you got the feelings that

107
00:06:51.385 --> 00:06:52.250
I got it

108
00:06:52.535 --> 00:06:57.258
I have already discovered who I am

109
00:06:55.673 --> 00:07:01.313
on camera and I have my style and I'm confident now

110
00:06:59.965 --> 00:07:01.350

111
00:07:00.922 --> 00:07:09.714
took up quite a long while yeah yeah yes or months at least half a year I think oh okay yeah before

112
00:07:09.572 --> 00:07:10.892
before I can

113
00:07:10.922 --> 00:07:12.499
control myself

114
00:07:12.452 --> 00:07:13.758
to the point that

115
00:07:13.863 --> 00:07:14.885
my heart

116
00:07:15.345 --> 00:07:21.551
it would be it faster whenever you know the cameraman say 54321 and then camera right

117
00:07:21.481 --> 00:07:26.707
yeah my heart would beat faster but then the time that I can calm it down

118
00:07:26.612 --> 00:07:27.274

119
00:07:27.252 --> 00:07:31.857
be shorter and shorter ah you control yourself better yeah a little bit

120
00:07:31.874 --> 00:07:37.102
by bit by bit I think right okay and how about when you first

121
00:07:37.373 --> 00:07:38.478
know that

122
00:07:38.403 --> 00:07:43.744
kind of develop your own style that people can tell the difference between without and other people

123
00:07:43.972 --> 00:07:44.923
oh that

124
00:07:45.004 --> 00:07:50.957
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

125
00:07:51.151 --> 00:07:53.600
I don't plan on

126
00:07:53.714 --> 00:07:59.426
how I will be on camera I I don't plan on that at all I'm just being myself like that

127
00:07:59.352 --> 00:08:01.820
right talking to you and I think

128
00:08:01.844 --> 00:08:02.983
it is um

129
00:08:03.252 --> 00:08:04.364
it's just natural

130
00:08:04.481 --> 00:08:09.739
so there's no intentional design know in advance of how you want to look

131
00:08:09.532 --> 00:08:10.541
or no

132
00:08:10.431 --> 00:08:15.002
not at all this I see yeah this is me this is the way I am yeah

133
00:08:15.362 --> 00:08:16.666
and people love that

134
00:08:16.773 --> 00:08:21.696
oh thank you yeah me too oh thank you thank you I think everyone is unique

135
00:08:21.642 --> 00:08:23.616
like I look at you

136
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:29.056
you're yourself the way you talk the way you react and I think we all can sense that

137
00:08:29.461 --> 00:08:32.643
that's the sincerity right that we

138
00:08:32.602 --> 00:08:36.476
talk to them on camera yeah but

139
00:08:36.371 --> 00:08:38.342
anyway you came before me like

140
00:08:38.302 --> 00:08:39.749
18 years

141
00:08:39.581 --> 00:08:45.397
at least so I I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot from you today um may be big

142
00:08:45.282 --> 00:08:46.221
so

143
00:08:46.121 --> 00:08:49.681
I I was curious what you think about how

144
00:08:49.571 --> 00:08:51.071
easy it seems

145
00:08:51.111 --> 00:08:54.742
for a lot of people to just be on camera and act as

146
00:08:54.763 --> 00:08:56.361
a reporter or just

147
00:08:56.301 --> 00:09:00.053
you know really report uh from these things

148
00:08:59.951 --> 00:09:01.705
sometimes or

149
00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:05.260
to like analyze whatever is going on in the world

150
00:09:05.142 --> 00:09:05.375

151
00:09:05.461 --> 00:09:07.414
it was pretty easy today

152
00:09:07.381 --> 00:09:12.830
like um you know the opportunity that they can learn and uh speaking English

153
00:09:12.702 --> 00:09:18.084
uh opportunity to practice themselves in front of a camera and Technology helps a lot too

154
00:09:17.831 --> 00:09:22.173
it's pretty easy and how how how do you think about that um I think

155
00:09:22.052 --> 00:09:22.783
it's

156
00:09:22.952 --> 00:09:29.970
easier in the sense that technology helps with the flow of information right it's very easy to find information

157
00:09:29.802 --> 00:09:34.569
from Google from the internet

158
00:09:32.941 --> 00:09:33.599
but

159
00:09:33.771 --> 00:09:40.058
at the same time because of this overflow of information I think you have to really be able to

160
00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:40.813
distinguish

161
00:09:40.951 --> 00:09:42.718
what is what is fake news

162
00:09:42.750 --> 00:09:45.366
what is real news what is facts

163
00:09:45.050 --> 00:09:47.693
and what is opinion I think

164
00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:51.117
that's the line that you must be able to draw

165
00:09:51.010 --> 00:09:51.324

166
00:09:51.331 --> 00:09:54.008
with all the information that you see

167
00:09:54.021 --> 00:09:57.748
yeah so you don't see it as a problem or a threat

168
00:09:57.540 --> 00:10:02.908
or someone who came before like a lot of photographers out there were talking about how

169
00:10:03.052 --> 00:10:03.734
you know

170
00:10:03.691 --> 00:10:08.630
technology these days or you know the the quality of the camera on on the phone
