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
