Default I Paid 99.00 For MASTER-CLASS for Their 1st Year Gordon

Thanks Gordon,

Sounds Like I Dodged a Bullet Gordon!

Took me a While - but I Found a Problem with The INFO In MasterClass.

Each CELEBRITY.

(And that is what they are selling - STAR POWER.)

Each Celeb is told to ENTERTAIN.

Keep Things moving fast.

Break info into Bite Size "Lessons"

MY IDEA was to Try and Find SPECIFIC and DETAILED STORIES and INFO - I Could Write about in My Ezine. And Put In Sales Letters.

To That End - I watched 30 or 40 CELEBRITY PROGRAMS - 3, 4, 5 Lessons DEEP.

(AS We Say Out in the Country -
I Was GRAZING for the Good Stuff.)

Figuring IF THEY Don't Put the GOOD STUFF Up-Front
People Like Myself Would RUN AWAY.

Took me a While.

NEVER FOUND the "Good Stuff."

But STEVE MARTIN Was The Guy who made ME QUIT WATCHING - All The STARS on MASTER-CLASS.

A - I Read His book.

B - I watched His YouTube Interviews.

C - THEN I watched his "LESSONS" on "MasterClass."

Steve Introduced Himself.

Explained his Plan to teach viewers How to Be Funny.

Had A table full of Folks who wanted to Learn to do Stand-Up-Comedy.

BUT...

Steve's Book and YouTube Interviews Told How He TESTED his Stand-Up-Jokes.

RE-INVENTED COMEDY.

Decided He Couldn't TELL if a Joke was Funny if he Left a PAUSE at the End. BECAUSE THE AUDIENCE was EXPECTED to LAUGH.

So He QUIT Leaving PAUSES.

Listened for LAUGHTER to Build up in INDIVIDUAL AUDIENCE MEMBERS
UNTIL It EXPLODED Like when You Over-Fill a Balloon.

STEVE'S GOAL?

To HEAR Individuals in The Audience GUFFAW. Not Together. Not all at once. But Separately.

Like Specific Kernals of PopCorn over a Fire.

I WOULD HAVE LOVED To LEARN - MORE DETAILS - ABOUT HOW HE DOES THIS.

TOO
COMPLEX
FOR
"MASTER-CLASS."

So I quit watching - ALL of The CELEBS.

Only watched 50 or 60 "LESSONS"

JUST MY OPINION.

But not Worth The 199.00 they charge now.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - AND Whoever Shot The Videos - PERFECT and CLEAR as a Bell.

Sound and Picture Quality.

BUT FOR ME - They Turned Exciting People - into BORING Professor Types.
