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
