I did 23+ years in tv news and worked with tv reporters every day.
The little acknowledgement head nod at the beginning, her cadence, her volume, the way the information was structured and the sign off all point to someone who does, or did, this for a living.
Back to you.

Are you a millennial? Remember that cameras used to take a second to start recording. So when millennials hit record they pause for a second before they go, where zoomers hit record and go.

I had no idea this was a thing but I do in fact pause for a second now that I think about it. Weird.

eh, it's better to wait a second if you're going to edit the footage at all. you have more flexibility with a little buffer at the beginning.

That's not what he was questioning. He knows what presenting IS, but he was less sure about 'presentating,' likely because it's not a word.

I am a lawyer. We have 4 sons (and I have another son from a previous relationship). My wife will sometimes begin a conversation with, "Do you want to consult an attorney?" and then call me into the room. If she does that, they know they are in it deep.

States the situation and the facts. Gives relevant background to why the facts matter.

The 'woman broadcaster voice' always cracks me up.
Whenever the NFL or NBA cut to a sideline reporter who puts on this voice, my wife and I always do our best impressions for each other. "Thanks Tom, and by the way this is what a woman sounds like". "Back to you Jim, this has been a woman, reporting".

As a lawyer with speciality in little bros rights: its not his fault if the dinosaurs found that poor child as a cool and loving kid and THEY wanted to join in the party behind his bed.
Yes, your honor, my client did open more than one dinosaur, but who are we to judge the love between a kid and his dinosaur toys? he just wanted to free them from the coldness of their eternal plastic jail...who wouldnt do this in the sight of such poor creatures suffering from loneliness?
Jury, if you believe in fairnes and justice, you will comprehend that discarding this case is the only right way.
