TV Live and Shoot.
April 29 2009
It was the show's first anniversary and I have to show up to celebrate it.
I met the new male host who took over after the former male host left the show.
Well, I found him pretty good with the guitar.
He had to borrow my guitar though.
He was also accommodating, very friendly and simple.
We sat the whole afternoon practicing for a song to present for the next day's LIVE SHOOT for the Morning Show. It would be his first LIVE shoot I guess.
I had several LIVEs already, because we used to host a monthly event to support the show, invite other and bigger celebrities and the like to promote us.
Anyway, he kept joking about Safety shots and takes.
He was nice, knowing a lot of old songs and updated with the new ones.
It was nice.
I didn't tell him what songs I like, even though he asked.
He probably wouldn't know MYV / Placebo / Dresden Dolls and the like.
I just told him, oh you probably wouldn't have heard of them.
We decided singing a duet in one of Jason Mraz's songs.
He sang Mraz's songs so naturally I was impressed.
Me however, had to raise my melody higher to match the guitar.
His strumming and plucking were also amazing.
Loved his playing.
Then, I was asked to host a segment about him since the planned host had other engagements so I have to take the job on-the-spot. I had fun interviewing his friend.
But I didn't have enough practice, so what I used to do in one take, like the intro, took me several takes to make sense out of it. Depressing.
However, the interview went out smoothly.
I enjoyed talking to someone on-cam again.
I guess my favorite part when hosting is to host an interview.
My mind keeps rolling and doesn't have to strictly stick to the script.
Anyway, the next day, we had a small reunion for the morning show.
The make-up artist was unavailable so I had to do make-up myself.
We practiced a little more and then proceeded with pre-production.
Our performance was okay. I guess not perfect, but quite alright for all of Northern Mindanao to see. We had fun, saying hello's and how are you's.
TV didn't change much.
But I did, and I had roughened up a bit, but still I did what I had to do.
Oh well. I guess, I somewhat liked the experience.
