LO2: Understanding skills needed to fulfill the chosen media role

My chosen media role is a games tester or also known as QA (Quality Assessor)  tester.
I have used written the past for college course work where I had to analyse 7 games. I had to talk about every aspects of the game from my opinion to its place in the market. I do have some what of a hindrance as I am dyslexic. I can get around it by prof reading and auto correct. Some may see this a skill gap or massive problem but I just se it as a challenge that I must over come for every piece of work that I produce. If I was to expand my written skills and to give my self a portfolio I would review new and old games, I could also test indie games that are in early accesses (Alph/Beta) so that I could also expand my skills in the role as it would be hard to get experience in a proper studio. As a side affect of being dyslexic I do find doing paper a rather large pain and I know that there is a lot of paper work in the ole as yI would have to write up lots of reports on my finding of the game, but this is something I will just have to take in my stride as I cannot think of a way to get around it

I use my verbal skills every day and find this is the best way for me to communicate with others. I find it easy to talk to others and also to people I have just meet or don't even know. I think that this is evident when I had to give a presentation for a games concept that me and a group of friends had to give and when I had to sit down with an implorer for around 30 to 40. I think that I could make a YouTube channel and review games. I have already done this in a review segment for a Sheffield live in there games show called The Games Corner. The main difference between them would be that one is in a group in the YouTube channel I would be on my own. This is because I think that I could get my personality over more, this is good because it is something else that I could have in a portfolio. This would work well because I could show my understanding of the games industry and games development. The one thing I think that could be a problem is that I would have to filter my self like I did for the Games Corner and by doing so I think that some times I am a but to dull. I'm one of the extremes loud and bad mouthed or just sat in the corner not saying that much, so this is something I would have to work on. This is something that I would just have to improve on with time and just get more settled when in front of the camera.    

I have never do this role properly as I have never had the chance to do so. I would like to but I have found it very hard to get the chance, as from what I have found in my research of the role you have to have the job to proper have any experience. I will have to go out and try to get some experience at places like Sumo digital if possible.

I think that I would be good in this role as there is a lot of interaction with other people and I think that I would be able to become friends with every one in the work place. I know that there is a lot of interaction with other people that I am fine with and if I like them I would even have fun while working with them.
