My Retiement Video Is Going To Go Viral!

Encore!!!

@David, it certainly not Theater 101, The glasses I am wearing are actually my great, great, great grandfather specs pre civil war, I am on my way on my new career in theater and the motion pictures. The song Let It Go is from the Disney Movie Frozen..

I hear you do a mean Mick Jagger.

Dont mind the maggots!

Curled lip.....

Dave

Actually later this month I am auditioning to sing Bring Him Home from Les Miserable appear in the premier opening of the Jefferson Parish Theater of Performing Arts. Monday I may appear in episode of NCSI New Orleans episode 10....a hospital emergency scene.

Michael,

Good luck, brake a leg.

Dave

it has been very good thus far, for changing careers. I have been working at my own pace.....the best is yet to come.

Michael you are one funny guy! Even though the room was dark with a ceiling light turned on and shining into the camera (I thought to myself this is a disastrous set-up)! lol Then I saw your expression, loved how the light flashed on your glasses even though you didn't know the words very well the flashing glasses made it even funnier. You definitely have the comic thing going, I see the talent even in the dark room (maybe brighter lights wouldn't have helped!).

Is doing a video to the public accepted now (provided it goes viral!) a method of showing your talent to all sources and industry contacts or were you just having fun? I guess people do it for both reasons.

Have we heard this somewhere before, protection for your video?! You probably already know this Michael but I thought I would post this just in case:

"Protect the video with a YouTube program called Content ID, which gives video owners the right to block others from using their videos or to be paid when they do. That helps to prevent people from creating copies that might be watched instead of yours. Parodies, translations or autotuned song versions, however, tend to add to the original’s traffic."

Brilliant Michael! very entertaining!....made me smile!

Michael, that was fun!

HAHAHAaaaa... WACKED!!!

Thanks Michael you started my day with a... HAHAhaaa... Smile... . =>))

Thanks for the smile! :-)

Very cute Michael, but you only have 37 views..that's not viral, hon!

You are an inspiration to me.

Very funny, thanks!

@Lisa, I am so glad you got a laugh!

@Jane, thank you for viewing the retirement video. I have been amazed at just how many others I have met who are retired or to make ends meet audition for the movies. New Orleans is becoming the new Hollywood of the South. We all at times without even being aware inspire each other. I do think the creativity of an artist, photographer or any other medium gives us all the ability to create.

@Marlene, since your post a few more visitors, I tell you its going viral! lol I am glad you got a laugh from it.


@Tamara, I am glad you got a good laugh from the retirement video, at that moment I have no clue what I was thinking. I had been listening to some of the video's of Britain's Got Talent it always brings back memories when I actually went to the America's Got Talent here in New Orleans. On the serious side future plans for my artist video in the works....

.

You're so funny, Michael. Thanks for the laugh.

Good luck.

@Ed, I am glad you were not sitting at the table getting ready for that morning cup of coffee! I can visualize it, everyone waking up to a beautiful day, they sit down at the breakfast table decide to see the new you tube videos on retirement and find this one. (Which is at the moment slowly but surely going viral, lol!)

@Val, I just knew it, I could get you to laugh, I like your sense of humor also you had me in stiches at times over the years!

Wow, Michael, I loved that!! Glad you kept us up to date. Now we can start looking for you in various productions, kind of like "where's Michael," eh? If I were a director, I'd cast you in a heartbeat. You're amazing! Shared on FB.

@Patricia, that is so funny you mentioned that, "where's Michael" when I took the guts to actually go in front of the producers of America's Got Talent, prior to the audition I performed my audition number to the staff and faculty at the university and Tom the executive chef director of food services sad back then had said I was going places. My video is on face book it went public and of course you tube, people and blogs.....

@Suzanne, thank you so much for all the value information and advice, I never gave it a second thought when I posted the video, the You Tube video ID....I will research everything today. Thanks again. Cheers, Michael

Hilarious!

Michael - you are Hysterical - I just adore you.

I love that positive energy you send my way Michael!

@Sydne, I am so glad my retirement video brought you positive energy and it follows you where ever you go. The singer is the sensational Jodi Bird from Britain's Got Talent, 16years old image that, she is on her journey to her future and I am making the full circle to claim mine. I laugh at myself just recently I submitted to a casting call to be in a TV commercial, a non speaking role to be taped for three days. I did not have a video to give to them so they could see me in motion. I officially sent the video and letter to the Executive Director this of Culinary at the University, he always said I was going places... and thanked them for the last 5 years of my culinary career. Cheers, Michael Hoard

@Janie, looking back at the video I laugh, I should have worn those star sun glasses, instead I used my great, great, great grandfathers spec pre civil war. Cheers, Michael

@LC I am glad you found my retirement video hilarious and you got a good laugh! Just like our art and photography its an expression, an interpretation of the moment we sense around us. Retirement is what you make out of it. Cheers, Michael

This video is slowly going viral...lol

Micheal, I'm not sure what "going viral" really means (I'm kind of out of it)... but I adore this! I've shared it on FB, and I could almost watch it every day to get my act in gear, so to speak. Well done!

I am so glad you got a great laugh, I did, and when you see something such as this I suppose you think to yourself, what if it goes viral....well some do some don't, this is sorta going it just needs a push, a shove, a nudge, no wait, what if Ellen saw this......lol

Enthralled Michael - loved it - and I've passed it on. such truth, just "let it go". Thank you.

I barely have friends on fb but im gonna share it anyway. funny lip singing esp at the near end part. :)
