It was so thrilling to speak at the northern media summit last week!
Public speaking is something I have been wanting to elaborate on, its a great way of getting yourself out there and people approaching you for a change. I'm not a very confident person at heart, so by putting myself forward to these events I feel it has helped me grow, become more confident as an individual, which is what I wanted to achieve. The more and more of these I do the better I become. Yes, I was not as confident as everyone else speaking there, but it was my first time doing something properly like this, besides a panel last year. I still had to browse notes on my phone whereas everyone else was noteless, but the more I do, the more confidence I get, soon I hope to talk without notes, and not get that sudden brain blur!
I presented about my VR projects, my research into VR psychology, my VR art, VR curation at LYFF and VR storytelling.
After the event it was great to network and talk to other media creatives and powerhouses of the north, and get a lot of compliments on my VR work.
I met a fantastic woman called Shelley Langan who posted this about me on medium:
"Rosie Summers, VR freelancer, spoke passionately to the Leeds audience about her VR study findings, where 100% of the participants said they left the experience feeling an emotion was elicited. Rosie was a powerhouse of enthusiasm, and really hit home the point that engaging with VR technology can help communicate depth in any story you wish to tell. (As an aside: she also paints in 3D live…unreal!)"
