1 00:01:23,545 --> 00:01:27,545 or the global Focus program 2 00:01:28,952 --> 00:01:32,952 yes yeah um so it's a once a week program since you give me um this opportunity 3 00:01:34,729 --> 00:01:38,729 please allow me to promote my program sure of course go ahead no focus is a weekly program 4 00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:44,290 and me and my team will pick international news that we think would be interesting 5 00:01:45,857 --> 00:01:49,857 for the audience and present it to you once a week I'm a big fan also thank you 6 00:01:51,839 --> 00:01:55,839 you used to like once you 7 00:01:57,113 --> 00:02:01,113 did the interview in English to talking to the first French woman 8 00:02:02,539 --> 00:02:06,539 Astronaut Astronaut exactly exactly I love that yeah me too yeah she was so inspiring 9 00:02:06,775 --> 00:02:10,775 so many ways so do you still get to do the English interview often 10 00:02:14,225 --> 00:02:17,896 not anymore not as much as I would like and not as much as before actually your your your problem is 11 00:02:17,896 --> 00:02:21,896 kind of like a similar to most people's problem 12 00:02:23,174 --> 00:02:24,533 in Thailand because we have been taking all these courses and classes in English 13 00:02:24,533 --> 00:02:27,504 since we are what like 14 00:02:27,504 --> 00:02:28,291 7 right and we don't get to use English 15 00:02:28,291 --> 00:02:29,289 almost 16 00:02:29,289 --> 00:02:32,775 never 17 00:02:32,775 --> 00:02:36,775 then you have to create opportunities for yourself to 18 00:02:37,818 --> 00:02:41,298 speak in the front of the camera or sometimes I'll just um pick out an articles 19 00:02:41,298 --> 00:02:42,437 an article and they just read it out aloud so that 20 00:02:42,437 --> 00:02:44,872 I won't forget 21 00:02:44,872 --> 00:02:47,830 yeah just like any skills on Earth 22 00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:48,968 if you want to maintain it and 23 00:02:48,968 --> 00:02:52,968 keep it up 24 00:02:54,921 --> 00:02:56,199 you have to practice yeah so that's what I'm doing every day as well unfortunate in the sense 25 00:02:56,199 --> 00:03:00,199 that in my line of job. 26 00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:02,404 I get to practice English 1 way or another so I think that's how 27 00:03:02,404 --> 00:03:06,404 I 28 00:03:07,756 --> 00:03:11,756 key polishing my English well it's funny you mentioned like talking in front of camera. because 29 00:03:15,205 --> 00:03:19,205 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 30 00:03:21,384 --> 00:03:23,060 in their own hands so you can just talk to camera whenever you can put content on 31 00:03:23,060 --> 00:03:25,104 how you can put content on YouTube 32 00:03:25,104 --> 00:03:29,104 done right 33 00:03:31,925 --> 00:03:35,925 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 34 00:03:40,142 --> 00:03:40,705 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 35 00:03:40,705 --> 00:03:44,705 you want 36 00:03:45,712 --> 00:03:49,712 was that what you do when you uh still anchoring at the nation and on TV 37 00:03:51,958 --> 00:03:53,271 uh in the beginning in the beginning yeah I'll just practice by myself at home 38 00:03:53,271 --> 00:03:55,875 um 39 00:03:55,875 --> 00:03:59,875 speaking out loud so that I would 40 00:04:03,395 --> 00:04:04,604 calm my my nerve down somehow because I get excited too you mentioned before we started taping 41 00:04:04,604 --> 00:04:08,604 that you were nervous 42 00:04:09,892 --> 00:04:13,892 and I couldn't believe it because you've done this for you have been doing this for over 20 years 43 00:04:15,152 --> 00:04:17,654 exactly yeah you still get nervous but I've never talked to you 44 00:04:17,654 --> 00:04:19,123 okay so I'm excited to be meeting you 45 00:04:19,123 --> 00:04:23,123 so that's a good excitement 46 00:04:28,845 --> 00:04:30,772 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 47 00:04:30,772 --> 00:04:32,772 so um let's go back to 48 00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:36,772 20 years ago 49 00:04:38,046 --> 00:04:39,342 when you first started um before you got this job as a 50 00:04:39,342 --> 00:04:41,033 news anchor 51 00:04:41,033 --> 00:04:45,033 what did you do then 52 00:04:46,943 --> 00:04:50,943 before that before that um before that I spent a short time at Boi 53 00:04:52,963 --> 00:04:53,869 Thailand's Board of Investments okay and then before that I just graduated from University 54 00:04:53,869 --> 00:04:57,869 so it's 55 00:05:00,795 --> 00:05:02,977 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 56 00:05:02,977 --> 00:05:06,977 you started out in in the business 57 00:05:08,490 --> 00:05:10,531 exactly how did you train yourself or how did you uh practice to be on camera 58 00:05:10,531 --> 00:05:14,531 besides talking in front of a mirror of course 59 00:05:17,287 --> 00:05:20,312 uh I look at how other people do it like or all the other more 60 00:05:20,312 --> 00:05:24,312 experience um journalists do it and then 61 00:05:27,145 --> 00:05:27,838 keep on doing it I guess practice makes perfect so the more you do it then you're more the more you get the 62 00:05:27,838 --> 00:05:31,838 feel of it 63 00:05:32,288 --> 00:05:35,415 and I guess that's how I would start to feel more comfortable about 64 00:05:35,415 --> 00:05:39,415 saying things or reporting in front of the camera 65 00:05:40,330 --> 00:05:44,330 did you have any Idol that you look up to and try to probably learn from 66 00:05:45,078 --> 00:05:49,078 like the Styles the um uh the way they like report news 67 00:05:51,051 --> 00:05:54,124 um not so much of the style but I think I learned a lot from 68 00:05:54,124 --> 00:05:55,190 um especially how he would focus on the content 69 00:05:55,190 --> 00:05:58,463 of 70 00:05:58,463 --> 00:06:02,463 we want to say and not so much about 71 00:06:05,479 --> 00:06:09,479 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 72 00:06:12,516 --> 00:06:13,742 exactly that's amazing and he's been like developing he's been uh changing he's been 73 00:06:13,742 --> 00:06:14,787 um like going with the trends 74 00:06:14,787 --> 00:06:18,787 that's amazing 75 00:06:20,077 --> 00:06:21,377 on his part exactly so working with him I learned a lot especially how he 76 00:06:21,377 --> 00:06:22,132 she just doesn't stop 77 00:06:22,132 --> 00:06:25,241 yeah 78 00:06:25,241 --> 00:06:29,241 he keeps on running so in order to keep up with him 79 00:06:30,783 --> 00:06:34,783 at least I have to jog right or else he will be so far ahead that I can't catch up with him 80 00:06:36,315 --> 00:06:38,243 so he has been a role model in many ways as a journalist as 81 00:06:38,243 --> 00:06:42,243 a person who is very 82 00:06:43,778 --> 00:06:45,476 diligent and hardworking and he's always curious about the world around him 83 00:06:45,476 --> 00:06:49,218 so you were like fresh 84 00:06:49,218 --> 00:06:52,566 out of college so to speak more or less yeah more or less and 85 00:06:52,566 --> 00:06:56,566 when was the first time that you got the feelings that 86 00:06:58,951 --> 00:07:02,951 I got it 87 00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:03,043 I have already discovered who I am 88 00:07:03,043 --> 00:07:07,043 on camera and I have my style and I'm confident now 89 00:07:11,409 --> 00:07:12,587 took up quite a long while yeah yeah yes or months at least half a year I think oh okay yeah before 90 00:07:12,587 --> 00:07:14,194 before I can 91 00:07:14,194 --> 00:07:15,453 control myself 92 00:07:15,453 --> 00:07:16,580 to the point that 93 00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:20,580 my heart 94 00:07:23,245 --> 00:07:27,245 it would be it faster whenever you know the cameraman say 54321 and then camera right 95 00:07:28,401 --> 00:07:32,401 yeah my heart would beat faster but then the time that I can calm it down 96 00:07:33,554 --> 00:07:37,554 be shorter and shorter ah you control yourself better yeah a little bit 97 00:07:38,798 --> 00:07:40,172 by bit by bit I think right okay and how about when you first 98 00:07:40,172 --> 00:07:44,172 know that 99 00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:46,617 kind of develop your own style that people can tell the difference between without and other people 100 00:07:46,617 --> 00:07:50,617 oh that 101 00:07:52,652 --> 00:07:55,295 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 102 00:07:55,295 --> 00:07:59,295 I don't plan on 103 00:08:01,123 --> 00:08:03,516 how I will be on camera I I don't plan on that at all I'm just being myself like that 104 00:08:03,516 --> 00:08:04,678 right talking to you and I think 105 00:08:04,678 --> 00:08:06,060 it is um 106 00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:10,060 it's just natural 107 00:08:11,435 --> 00:08:12,237 so there's no intentional design know in advance of how you want to look 108 00:08:12,237 --> 00:08:16,237 or no 109 00:08:16,697 --> 00:08:18,361 not at all this I see yeah this is me this is the way I am yeah 110 00:08:18,361 --> 00:08:22,361 and people love that 111 00:08:23,392 --> 00:08:25,312 oh thank you yeah me too oh thank you thank you I think everyone is unique 112 00:08:25,312 --> 00:08:29,312 like I look at you 113 00:08:30,752 --> 00:08:34,338 you're yourself the way you talk the way you react and I think we all can sense that 114 00:08:34,338 --> 00:08:38,171 that's the sincerity right that we 115 00:08:38,171 --> 00:08:40,036 talk to them on camera yeah but 116 00:08:40,036 --> 00:08:41,444 anyway you came before me like 117 00:08:41,444 --> 00:08:45,444 18 years 118 00:08:47,092 --> 00:08:47,917 at least so I I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot from you today um may be big 119 00:08:47,917 --> 00:08:51,376 so 120 00:08:51,376 --> 00:08:52,767 I I was curious what you think about how 121 00:08:52,767 --> 00:08:56,438 easy it seems 122 00:08:56,438 --> 00:08:58,056 for a lot of people to just be on camera and act as 123 00:08:58,056 --> 00:09:01,749 a reporter or just 124 00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:03,399 you know really report uh from these things 125 00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:06,955 sometimes or 126 00:09:06,955 --> 00:09:09,109 to like analyze whatever is going on in the world 127 00:09:09,109 --> 00:09:13,109 it was pretty easy today 128 00:09:14,525 --> 00:09:18,525 like um you know the opportunity that they can learn and uh speaking English 129 00:09:19,778 --> 00:09:23,778 uh opportunity to practice themselves in front of a camera and Technology helps a lot too 130 00:09:23,869 --> 00:09:24,479 it's pretty easy and how how how do you think about that um I think 131 00:09:24,479 --> 00:09:28,479 it's 132 00:09:31,665 --> 00:09:35,294 easier in the sense that technology helps with the flow of information right it's very easy to find information 133 00:09:35,294 --> 00:09:36,264 but 134 00:09:36,264 --> 00:09:40,264 from Google from the internet 135 00:09:41,753 --> 00:09:42,508 at the same time because of this overflow of information I think you have to really be able to 136 00:09:42,508 --> 00:09:44,413 distinguish 137 00:09:44,413 --> 00:09:47,061 what is what is fake news 138 00:09:47,061 --> 00:09:49,389 what is real news what is facts 139 00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:52,814 and what is opinion I think 140 00:09:52,814 --> 00:09:55,704 that's the line that you must be able to draw 141 00:09:55,704 --> 00:09:59,443 with all the information that you see 142 00:09:59,443 --> 00:10:03,443 yeah so you don't see it as a problem or a threat 143 00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:05,428 or someone who came before like a lot of photographers out there were talking about how 144 00:10:05,428 --> 00:10:09,428 you know 145 00:10:10,326 --> 00:10:14,326 technology these days or you know the the quality of the camera on on the phone
