sean, with words

here's a reel of me performing a short #SpokenWord #poem in support of National Youth Violence Prevention Week for the #SandyHookPromise program & #WeAreTeachers

what I'll share with my #ActuallyAutistic friends is that this was the poem I wrote, performed, and produced in one day bc I screwed up the job's deadline & wasn't prepared with the original script. and this was also the day I forgot to attend a meeting I'd set up. but I'm very proud of this success.

@seanwithwords Your performance was great ... great delivery, powerful words and important message. (How were the words layered on the video? Just wondering. It added yet another level to your spoken poem)

@dogtrax thank you! took me more than 30 takes 😆

if you upload to instagram as a reel, then click "next," then swipe up, you'll have an option to add captions. it creates them automatically and it's very easy to edit any typos

you can also, I've discovered, but haven't played with yet, add them in canva.
