A short motivational YouTube monologue by Lauren Bateman describing how she improved at performing on stage and on camera through consistent practice and repeated performance. She urges viewers to review her early, poor videos/performances as evidence, stresses the importance of "putting the reps in," and uses a Bruce Lee analogy to emphasize mastery through repetition.
How did you get good at performing on stage? How did you get good at being on YouTube and talking to a camera? I put in the time. I put in the effort. Go back and watch my first 30 YouTube videos. They stunk. Go back and find old performances of me on stage. They stunk. But you know what I had to do to get good on stage? I had to keep going and performing. I had to put the reps in. I have a Bruce Lee Croat that I love. I'm not afraid of the man who knows 10,000 kicks. I'm scared of the man who knows one kick that he practiced 10,000 times. You're not going to get good on a stage or talking in front of a camera timer by doing it twice. Don't underestimate putting in the time and putting in the reps over and over again. You have to if you want to be good at anything in life.
