Michael Strahan's transition post-football is still crazy to me

Mike is smart and sounds intelligent without coming across as a "cornball." Played in New York and made good connections.

White women love tall muscular brehs that look strong enough to lift a car but sweet enough to sit at their daughter's tea party. The kind of Negro that pure racists would be like "if I had to go black......."

doesnt matter...
...get in front of a camera and see how entertaining you are.

shyt aint easy...and not everybody can pull it off.
i went to school for broadcasting (sports media) and it was sad to see how many people had their dreams dashed when they got put in front of that camera. they would all talk before being put on camera bout how they always wanted to do it and were already punching their card to being famous - life comes at you fast when they make that hand signal saying "you're live" tho :francis:

out of the 20 people, 3 were actually good. you could see them one day being capable - if they got lucky enough - me included. but i also act, so i never got stage/camera fright fortunately.

strahan is the definition of charisma.

And that my friends is the real point made.

I did public speaking and a little acting as a kid so I had no stage fright either but to do able to pull if off flawlessly is more work than people realize.

Obama and Clinton apart from their natural charisma actually practised a lot in front of the mirror and in front of his staff before a speech. You can see his bts with key on you tube. It's a lot of work to dedicate time to that specific craft because it's deceptively tricky. Body language and voice tone counts for a lot

Even out of those who have no stage fright, less than 10% will have a "stage presence" and even less will have stage presence and charisma put together.

There is a reason why public speaking is at the top of most phobias.

Yes...yes we are...
I never watched it, however, I respected the idea of it. It was a vehicle to started Mike on this journey that not many people know about. They see mike on GMA and aren’t even aware of half the stuff he’s had to endure.

There are some folks in here marginalizing the ability to generate revenue for a corporation. Do you know how hard it is to have charisma? Do you know how hard it is to hate black people but feel comfortable around one that is built to tear a car apart with your bare hands?

In life there are people built for radio, tv, and the big screen. If this was 20 years ago where movies still generated money, mike would be a movie a star. But since television has all the cash now, that’s where he is. The guy can sniff out money from a mile away. And that’s why he’s on your tv early in the damn morning. White people know where the money is. And mike is money.

Being charismatic is a a little more than a “mental thing”.
I agree but some are born with it some aren't :manny:.Like I said public speaking is mental thing,most people are afraid of public speaking due to the crowd,not everyone who speaks wants to be charismatic,it's more about efficiency
