CNBC "News Now" Practice Standup - 1
Channel: Andrew Wood
Date: 2015-08-11

Here's the first of my practice stand-ups that I wrote and presented while interning at CNBC. This was a cold read-through since I wanted to test myself and simulate what it would be like in the 'real world' during a breaking news type of situations... Just to see how I'd do. Even though I wrote the script and knew most of the content pretty well, apparently simple stuff like "CARL" Icahn can still trip me up! 

I've only really been working on dictation as a kind of side hobby, so I'd love to hear if anyone has some advice or criticism for me! As I watch more and more of myself on cam, I'm beginning to get a better feel for what I could work on, but I'd love to hear some outside opinions in the comments below! Be mean, be destructive. I don't care. I just want to get better!
