Since my October 22, 2025 showcase concluded, all I've been focused on is waiting, and waiting, and waiting to receive my CBPro produced production of my live performance and send it out to my Men's Health Month network for their promotion to their audience members.
I was sending it to potential clients, like high end golf resorts in the warm areas of the world.
On Sunday Nov 23rd, 2025, I received my digital copy. 8:47 in duration.
From Intro to Exit.... I did not view it, I simply uploaded the mp4 copy onto my YouTube channel, copied the link, and sent the link out to those on my contact list. I wrote my latest BLOG and included the showcase link for people to watch my entire performance, should they choose. Approx 100 business contacts, and 30 to 50 friends I have not contacted in the last - up to - 10 years?

Which reminds me...
On Thursday morning, November 28, 2025, one of my morning McDonald's coffee newspaper gang member's looked solemnly at me and said,; "that comedy tape you sent me? Yes, I replied.
I can't hear it!
"I tried turning the volume up as high as it could go but, even at that level, I was straining to hear a word you were saying!" I couldn't watch it. I did however see a few parts, it seems, that were very funny, but, I'm sorry, I turned it off. I'm just telling you so you can take whatever action it is you need to take. If it were me, I'd want to know right away. And, like you, I'd send it out for others opinions, feedback. I too would have unconsciously presumed it was a usable promotional demo for everyone to listen to. No sound issues what-so-ever unless they were Comedian microphone placement induced."
My heart sank as I heard the news. It was unfathomable. Did they not check their work? Later that morning, upon returning home, inserting the mp4 copy into my Final Cut pro software, I discovered the sound levels were set a "0" decibels.
I turned it up to 7 and... Bam! "Welcome to the stage.... Dave Archer".....so the sound was set too low.
What hurt the most about this humbling and embarrassing lesson was?... it's obvious the sender didn't listen to the final product. What a let down. A disappointment thinking the people I partnered with to conduct some of the training for Archer EduTainment could make such an error? Sound is very important. If intended, without it, people stop watching and move on.
What's Next?
No big deal. I have 49 followers. So, make the sound repairs, and move on... also send out a joke... what? I can't hear you? And what's NEXT???
It's time to get to work on my one man show content, and other things!
