    Chris Garry: You are on the money with the music thing. That is how I take it also. I figure if someone doesn't like it, they can just mute the sound. The reason why I put those songs on there is because they are some of Cora's favorite songs. ANd of course this is still her videos. She has a list of songs from itunes that I can use. Other than that, I have no say in the song choice... Besides JJ, her other love is music. She loves to sing, to anything.

    First, kill the music in the videos. While all your viewers are united in their love of BJJ, the music is a divider. I like hip hop, he likes rock, she likes metal, etc. Just run the ambient sound.

    Second, and far more important, ask yourself what is the purpose of the next video? You've already established that she is good at BJJ, another video making that same statement does you no real good. Now is the time to develop her as a personality. Have the videos serve as a blog/diary of her life or her training. Have her introduce the videos and tells what was going on in her head and how she feels about the matches. We know what Cora is - a BJJ practitioner, but we don't know WHO she is.

    Developing her as a personality on film will open the door for endorsements. Or maybe she's so charming on camera that Eddie features her on a 10th Planet kids DVD. And if she isn't good on camera now, maybe after 6 months of talking on camera, she WILL be. I picture something similar to what Ryon Gracie did in this video

    Anyway, that's my unsolicited advice...for what it is worth.
    @ Ric Im gonna use this advice for my own self help . awesome advice , but more importantly its the way you delivered your advice is so attaching , and very encouraging bro,.... again many thanks for this advice Ric....for all of us period.
