Thinking about volunteering for keynote.
July 16th, 2011 1:41 pmSoo, yeah I think about volunteering as the second person – besides Awesome McFunkypants – to do a keynote, but there’s something that kinda stops me from volunteering.
Well, as far as my little, crippled brain knows I am the youngest Ludum Dare participant, as I’m only .. (prepare for instant death) only 14 years old..
So, there is only a 50% chance of me getting picked, but if I actually am to do a keynote, who wants to see a 14-year-old talking ‘n’ stuff`?

Hm. Also, how would you manage the production values that go with a good LD keynote? They’re been getting progressively more elaborate.
Maybe I should encourage you, but I think that maybe you should rethink it. If you want to do something cool for us, maybe host a mini? Leave doing a keynote for when you can do something elaborate.
Just my two cents,

I don’t think Ludum Dare is about production values. We make games in a weekend. If you think you have something to say, age is irrelevant.
Fair enough. But still, I think having an elaborate keynote is part of the fun of the compo. After some of the LD keynotes I’ve seen, I think that you have to at least have a gimmick of some kind. I wouldn’t exactly *complain* about a simpler keynote speech, but I like the elaborate ones. (Such as PoV’s editing humor or Sos’ “I’m in” compilation)
Maybe that’s just me.
I meant no offense by it, of course.
You are not the youngest, I’m at least a year younger than you!
Really? Wow.. ^^
I’m probably a year younger then you too.

Don’t sell yourself so short. Your lack of confidence is all that holds you back, not your tender years. You can do whatever you set your mind to! Age doesn’t matter; if it did I’d be too old! =)
All it takes is hard work and a good speaking voice.
