Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes 🌴127. One-take wonder
In this episode, I’m reflecting on a phrase that popped into my head while driving here: How do you become a One Take Wonder?
You know, the kind of person who can just hit record and go — no second takes, no overthinking, just clarity, energy, and good-enough delivery.
Here’s what I unpack:
- Why being a little messy on video is actually your advantage in an AI-perfect world
- What a Hong Kong participant told me that changed the way I think about "stuff-ups"
- Why scripting your videos is a trap (and what to do instead)
- Tools I use (like Descript) to keep my flow while still cleaning up the final product
- How to build your one-take muscle without needing hours of practice
- And the secret trick: Holding your phone up until your arm starts hurting đź’Ş
This one’s for anyone who wants to be more visible without the drama of “doing it right.”
Thanks for listening and I’ll catch you tomorrow — one take at a time!
