I’m just going to show you how to change the speed on some of the main apps that I use. First, YouTube I have a tendency to speak kind of quickly on these videos. But if you listen to some of my early videos, like my trailer, I speak much more slowly.  They drive me nuts now and I would have to speed them up to make them tolerable to listen to!  Here’s how to do it: af...
