* Apologies if the lighting looks weird – Original lighting was quite dim so we edited as best as we could during post-production

Are you single and interested to find your special someone? Clueless about what goes on in the minds of the opposite gender? Want to make some headway in finding your right partner?

This is the very first episode of The Celes Show and we go right into the world of Singlehood and Dating! In this episode, we find out the answers to the popular questions on singles’ minds today:

  • The key reason why singles can’t seem to find their special someone today
  • The top criteria women and men today look for in their relationship partner
  • Why females complain about guys are not decisive enough
  • How long it takes for men to decide whether to move on to the 2nd date with you! (get ready to be shocked by the answer!)
  • Do guys only go for just looks or is it more than that??
  • Should singles hold out for their special someone or just settle when the time comes?
  • What ladies and guys can do to increase their attraction factor to the opposite gender
  • The first move – Should ladies make the first move? Or is it a turn off to guys?
  • Tips and advice for all singles out there to increase their chances of finding their special someone out there!!

Special thanks to Ms Violet Lim, highly sought-after dating and relationship expert, as well as co-founder of Lunch Actually for coming on to our show! :D

Feel free to share what you think about this episode in the comments area!

PS: I didn’t realize I was writing that much during the interview! I was definitely listening though; was taking notes of Violet’s valuable insights for the interview! :)

PPS: By the way in one of the shots you can catch a glimsp of my production manager filming. See if you can spot it!

    Great approach! Just.. is it only me, or is it quite hard to understand what you talk about? In my opinion the music is way too loud compared to the volume of the voices.

  2. CelesNo Gravatar spoke on Feb 14 2010:

    Thanks a lot Michel for your feedback! :D You’re right – the BGM is loud relative to the voices. We’ll revise and upload a new version now. My natural talking speed is pretty fast, so some people have difficulty understanding what I’m saying. I’m going to have to keep in mind to speak slower from the next episode onwards! :)

    Congratulations on the show Celes! I have been following your blog for maybe six months but have not commented until now. It’s exciting to see your progress. You’re an inspiration!

  4. ImeldaNo Gravatar spoke on Feb 15 2010:

    Well done Celes, good show! Thanks for asking my questions, great answers from Ms Violet Lim. Keep it up :-)

  5. CelesNo Gravatar spoke on Feb 16 2010:

    Jim: Thanks a lot! :D I just checked out your site and it seems you are a great source of inspiration yourself! I look forward to knowing you better! :D

    Imelda: No problem, and glad you like the show! :D I hope Violet’s answer helped to shed some light! I myself find the whole girls/first move thing quite a conundrum! :D

    Hello Celes,

    Congratulations! This was a very good start, I think. Very good idea with putting some of the tips and questions in the bars at the bottom of the screen.

    I am with Michel on the voice/sound. It is hard to understand sometimes, especially when both of you laugh :) I think it would help for both of you to have microphones – if that’s possible at all.

  7. CelesNo Gravatar spoke on Feb 20 2010:

    Thanks a lot Dominika! :D Shucks, didn’t realize the bgm is still too loud – we’ve actually revised it after reading the viewer feedback. We’ve tuned it down some more notches and will be uploading the newer version over the weekend.

    Keep your feedback coming in; it only helps us to get better! :D

    I would suggest looking into what microphones you are using… I’m not a production expert, but the sound is very echoey and I think it may benefit from a / some microphones placed very close to you and your interviewee, rather than relying on the mic of the camera alone?

    don’t know how feasible this is, but I think it would bring more of the sound of your voice (e.g. the bass tones) into the mix and take away the echo?

    Well, I told you, you should put your hair down. It’s nicer! ^^

  10. StijnNo Gravatar spoke on Mar 1 2010:

    Hi Celes.

    I’m pretty sure you won’t get mad a me for stating this, but next time you may want to invest some time into adding subtitles. Either that, or filtering out the background noise and amplifying voice levels. In the long run this may make your videos more valuable to more people.

    Everything else was pretty interesting. I myself needed quite some time to realise women don’t always want to be the princess who gets to decide everything. I’ve found out, from watching other people interact, that it can make a guy look pretty pathetic (sometimes bordering on ‘hopeless’).

    The part I like best is when Violet Lim says: “A man wants to marry a woman, not a man”. That part made me smile. (:

    In general, there are some good tips in this video. Just add some basics like don’t forget to be who you are, make yourself presentable, and you’re good to go..
