This just crossed my desk ....
Maybe we are getting a bit "jaded" in our storytelling ...
Perhaps we can take a leaf out of this bloke's book?

That was great Manfred; well worth a listen to -a real polished performance as well.
Cheers Terry

Nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion I reckon most of us could do just a good a presentation with the support team he obviously has ?

Very much out of the ordinary. The timing and rhythm of his speech was excellent.
And there's no way in the world that I could do a presentation like that, with or without a camera crew and prompters.

Polished performance yes but they do not let it to air until it is right.

Maybe we should start practicing filming so we can polish our performances ?
