Maybe that was too much xanax to take before going live on T.V., but I was nervous, overwhelmingly nervous. Had I known that I was going to show up to the station and be thrown on air without any prep, I might have chosen against waking up at 4:30 am. Maybe, I should be flattered that Park City TV had enough faith in me that they actually believed I would be cool and calm under the hot lights and random news stories.
So, the xanax didn’t calm my nerves, but somehow it managed to make me dull. We have all met that person that seems over medicated and flat…well that was me Thursday morning at 7am. Flat, dull, monotone, QUIET! The producers actually told me during the commercial break that, “it’s a morning show, don’t be afraid to be perky and you’re too quiet, let your voice have some pitch to it.” This was a first, I have never been told I was quiet, but I took the advice/criticism and went with it. Hour two, I felt better. I even cracked some jokes, but in the end although my ego was slightly crushed I was glad not to have to go back and relive, live my inability to talk to the camera like it’s my best friend. It was an experience, I am glad I tried, but I realize now I am going to have to find some other way to be fabulous.
