  • Good interview Emma - I love what you're doing. You are a dynamic and captivating personality, regardless of bloody Parkinson's! Keep pushing forward. I kind of wish I had a project in your space I could work with you on, you come across on all your videos as inspirationally creative. We need more people like you in the business world! John

    It's a good video, but the audio is really quiet except under a surround setup. I would recommend that future videos are recorded in Stereo, not 5.1 Surround Sound.
  • @TheAcidsco
    Nice video . I wish I can chat with you personally. Oh please your sound is too down. I love your smile.
  • Que Deus te dê saúde e te firme nos movimentos como uma rocha nessa terra, torcendo muito por sua recuperação.

    I can barely hear him, and I can't hear her at all. Why do so many videos on YouTube have almost no sound? I am watching from Malaysia, might it have to do with that?

    Emma I need to say you why can't you consult Dr.prashant Jana in puttur Karnataka India...
  • @Mswhisperlilly

    What a nightmare, what a mess... i know it might sound negative to some.... but i rather be dead, than to be in such a state. No one deserves this.
