Day 19 of 25, my LAST GUEST in this park: stepping outside of comfort zone
0:00 approach & setup
16:21 camera rolling
20:20 guest's response
21:20 post story conversation
23:36 just some park vibe
I thought I wouldn't go to the park today but I managed to squeeze some time and went anyway. Somehow it went extremely smoothly today, I was lucky enough to have met this lady just a few minutes after I walked into the park, and I managed to complete the end to end of this filming in just 30 minutes.
One reflection I have today is that, going to the park now seems to be the "easier route" for me, because after 7 days of doing this at the park, I know how it works and I know I can do it, it became more comfortable. Going to the park meaning I no longer need to struggle on "how can I tell the same story to the camera differently again", I just find an audience who is different for sure.
Tomorrow I will film this at home, and now I need to think about how to tell the story without an audience again. Ah, now, THAT becomes the harder thing to do.
Anyway, I am grateful for everyone who responded to my approaching, whether you said yes or no, you helped me grow. I am also grateful for everyone who listened/watched the story on this channel, I'm grateful that CZcams allowed the story to travel further across the world, not just in this park.
Thank you for watching!

It's still hard for me, but the same learning applies: don't think, just do it.

Approaching a stranger and ask them to be on your CZcams video, I bet you saw this on CZcams for thousands of times already. But this is my first time ever.

zhlédnutí 34Před 16 hodinami
When was the last time you spend some real quality time with your best friends? How does friendship really work? The further you travel in your life journey, school, work, family, the more responsibilities come. The friends you made earlier in life seemed to be parting further and further away. "You make different friends in different life stages", you tell yourself. You acknowledge that your f...

Day 10 of 25, speaking what flows in my mind
zhlédnutí 81Před 21 hodinou
First time I managed to tell this story, I used about 27 minutes. It was too long. I then started to wonder how short can be too short. Today I speed-ran the story and made the shortest version of it so far. What I found out is that as long as I can form my story in my head, it wasn't too hard to speak out what's on my mind, but I guess the story was just not pleasant to hear when I rush. I may...
Day 9 of 25, have you been to Southeast Asia?
zhlédnutí 118Před dnem
If not, that's great, because I am playing a Southeast Asia accent and you wouldn't be able to tell whether I did well or not :) I thought this challenge was about me telling an amazing story, but it turned out to be not. It is now about how I can let go of the desire to tell a good story, and focus on what's there in the moment for myself and what I want to say and do. I know you probably don'...

0:00 debriefing yesterday 5:00 my improvisation song performance I learned a lot about authenticity and how to make myself feel safe. Being a content creator, you would put your content out there and let others receive, there could be a lot of fear. When the fear is there, you won't be able to be yourself. When you are unable to be yourself, your content would start to get less authentic, you m...

Yesterday I realized that "seriously" creating content was difficult. So today I "playfully" created my video. To be honest, I tried to record the video early in the morning, but I was about to leave home in 30 mins, and my attempt of telling the story in a serious way failed, I got stuck half way. It's been a busy day for me so at night when I started to try again recording the video I had alr...
Day 5 of 25, getting stuck and unstuck again: content creation is hard(?)

This is the fifth flavor of the 25 flavors of this story. Yesterday I realized how hard to "seriously" create contents, and I knew it wasn't for me, at least not yet, for me who is trying to create a video a day. Today I tapped into the "lower the barrier" energy again and just went for it. This video was shot in one go, and I didn't cut even a frame, and I didn't do any editing, so the length ...

You were worried that your subs would go down at 186 because of this challenge. Looking good!
haha I'm so glad that it didn't drop! Thanks for being here always!
second time hearing the story but didn’t get any less entertaining
So happy to read this comment, thank you for the support! ☺️
❤
❤️
Every video i can feel your fear for social interaction decreasing! In the end you won't be scared of anything anymore
Thanks, man! I'm not sure if there would be a day when I'm scared no more, but I'm sure I'm more comfortable with the fear now ;)
You’re definitely sounding a lot more confident than your first story time. Love to see where you’ll take this 🙌🏻
Thanks for the comment, buddy! So happy to see it and I appreciate it! ☺️
Your story was so convincing that he even started filming several times and kept his attention for 15 minutes Good job man, directly subscribed
Thanks for stopping by and supporting, buddy! I appreciate it! 🙏
This is so wholesome Bill you're doing FANTASTIC. Lifetime memory Happy I discovered your channel
Thank you, bro, thanks for the support you always give!
Fun video bro! The text on the black screen built the tension xD
Thanks, bro! The tension was not in the black text, but was inside me! 😂
i see, it’s to speak with a stranger - well whether you do so to share experiences with another person, work on anxiety, whatever it may be, keep it up! you’re doing great
thanks buddy! you're right on all those! as soon as I started, it turned out to give me all kinds of learning, some I expected, some I didn't. 🙏
this is such a great idea. i love listening to stories - why do you try to tell somebody a story every day? what’s the point?
thanks, buddy! I wanted to grow my confidence in talking in front of a camera, also here in these few videos I grow my ability to talk to strangers :)
I like these ones a lot
thank you!
Very cool. I like the way you said that it can take 2 hours or 1 second to start.. That still happens to me. Once I jump in all the worries I had about not starting usually turn out to be nothing. Thanks Bill!
So true, Kevin! Everything I worried about just never happened! Thanks Kevin!
This is your best video yet! The emotion and the pacing was excellent.
wow, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad that you liked it. I honestly liked it myself, too 😁
Loved the story❤
Thank you so much, Thomas! I really appreciate your kindness, can't thank you enough!
first
Thank you, buddy! Nice to meet you!
Bill really conquered his fear to talk to a stranger Wish I were like you man, role model
Thanks, man! Oh you're doing great being just yourself, no need to be like me lol. Nervous like hell for me to do this 😂
That was cool. It took alot of guts to ask a stranger to do this.
thanks Kevin! Yes it did take me a lot of guts to do that! Maybe I'll try until one day it no longer takes so much guts for me :)
The audio is a bit of a struggle on this one buddy! but I love the theme
yeah, I was too nervous to notice that my pin mic fell off... until I was to finish the conversation... sad
@@xbillao yeah, shame because this was actually my favourite style so far.
All jokes aside, I remember reading an article that had a chart which showed the number of times you can expect to see you friends before you die (from each decade of age). It was depressing! People should make an effort to see their friends
Yes, after all, how many real friends we would have in a lifetime
making youtube story videos 😛
lol I wonder howany subs they would have now!
@@xbillao I was talking about you! 😁
lol that's too sweet for me to realize, thanks buddy!
Stay hydrated!🙃
Stay cool! 😎
not my first time 😉
haha not my first time seeing you, either!
Hey man, you just started your channel Do it at your own pace. Keep challenging yourself like you're doing now The quality is getting better every day The accent is hilarious! I got your back in any case
Thanks man for being here!
Are you sure you don’t sneak out to those karaoke booths that they have in Japan after work or something? You have a really good voice! 😮 I could never be brave enough to do this! Well done!
Hahaha thanks Bell! Took too much courage to do this lol. I'd rather do this in the Karaoke booth😆 I have never been in one though!
The experiment is worth doing, even if it is not a "success" in terms of views. The process is the success.
Very true, thanks buddy!
👏👏👏 I liked the song! it was not bad at all and honestly this is how you come up with ideas when writing music, just throwing ideas and refining them! singing in front of the camera is not easy to face our fears and you did great😊
Thank you, Hila! Thanks for the comment, it's so kind of you :D
Story time!
thanks, buddy!
LOL... amazing!
LoL embarrassing! 🤣
Hey, keep practicing. For me, you keep my attention for about 5-8 minutes if you need feedback In the last videos, i see that you have less awkward pauses and seem to find your words more easily. You smile more at the camera, but you can change a little intonation sometimes Singing is another thing 😅, you are inspirational for having confidence, though!
Thanks bro for the feedback 🙏
This man clutched his streak in the last 20 minutes of a DAY in a mickey mouse voice OF A BICYCLE AND 36 HOUR BUS TRIP. The utter creativity The dedication‼️
Part 3 of Bill completely losing the plot 😂
Lol I guess I never had the plot! 😂
Hey 👋
👋 hello!
Content creation is hard but you make it looks so easy ...👍
Did I...? I think I made it look harder...
🥰
Thank you!
Keep it up!
Thanks, man!
You're good at keeping my attention, man And it's good that you confront your failure and want to improve I truly was invested in your story, I didn't know much about Vietnam, and your storytelling skills are really impressive, man. Keep on doing what you're doing, Bill. (that was a heck of a trip man, especially the bus part!)
thanks, bro!
It's a good story to chose for this, this was my favorite video of yours from the 10+ I've seen. I think I'll tune in for a few more tellings.
thank you, buddy! I'm so happy to see someone actually watch and comment on this one. I really appreciate it! I'd be curious to know what about this video makes it your favorite (only if you have a minute to share). Trying to look for feedback/clues on how to do it better in the next ones :) Thank you!
@@xbillao I liked how the story started very shortly into the video without as much discussion about how the challenge is going so far as the beginning of your 30 day challenge videos had. It was also an entertaining story with a positive message.
thank you so much for taking the time to reply! I really appreciate your sharing.
Thank you so much ❤ Helpful 👍🌹🥇🙏
Glad that it was helpful! and thank you so much for the comment!🙏
I can’t believe you left us on such a cliffhanger! I want to know how you go to the toilet on a 2 day bus journey😅
lol I can tell you in my next try 😅
Hey Bill Enjoyed your video today.
thanks, buddy!
Got a lot of respect from you man, you got up, you hit record, it didn't go to plan but you uploaded it anyway. Get back up and keep going tomorrow. I was interested to hear where this was going!
Thank you, Evan. Just had to allow myself fail. Hopefully in next video I can at least make the story complete!
This self image thing is real man, I should make a video about that myself. Keep it up!
Thanks, buddy!
It will be boring, and irritating and probably I will not watch it every day. But every day will be different because you mood and your general situation will be different. And the story will not be the leitmotiv but the circumstances. Interesting experiment. Go for it.
You're right and that's what I'm going for! Thanks for the support, Jorge!
hmm interesting idea haha!
Ha we'll see how "interesting" I can get it to be...
@@xbillao HAHA
I’m sure your idea will work. Nothing in life is worth it unless you take a risk! I’m here!
Thank you! I appreciate your comment and support!🙏
Whatt! I got mentioned😁 Thank you! I'm happy that you are still making videos 😊Keep it up!
Thank you, Hila!
Listen to the way you speak to the camera now compared to your first video. You've changed yourself!
Ha I didn't realize until you mentioned! Thanks, Kevin!
I keep getting these videos too and I feel the same way! This is becoming “Bill’s motivational talks” and I love it!😂
Thanks, Bell, hope that gave you a motivational charge lol
"What hasn't happened yet, there's nothing to change either" EXACTLY Some people cannot understand that phrase, I'm happy you got that out - I feel listened to. Keep going with this fun-filled, compact, high-quality and superb content!
Inspirational as always!
Thanks Karim!
