Day in the Life of a Freelance Court Reporter Working from Home! // Vlog from March 2021

Hey guys!
I found this forgotten footage of a vlog I filmed back in March and decided to put it together and upload it now.
I kind of liked doing the voice over thing. Let me know what you think!
Thank you for watching!

Hi, just found your channel today! I'm binge-watching and enjoying them a lot ☺can you do more "day in the life of" videos?

[@okaycat12]

Hi - Thank you so much for watching!! I always want to film more of these style of videos, but then I get super busy (which is also boring to watch lol). I'll try to get another one out soon!!!!

[@angieharris8015]

You have such a pleasant voice and a very pleasant disposition.

[@okaycat12]

Thank you for taking the time to write this nice comment 😊

How can I reach out to you for questions before I dive into this field? It would be a total career change for me😀

[@okaycat12]

You can ask me here and I can try to help!! It was a career change for me too :)

Excited to dive into this more! I would love to know how flexible the job actually is? For example, do you book different assignments/cases a week out, or can it even be day of that you receive word about a job? Thanks in advance!

[@okaycat12]

Hi there - With my current agency, I give them my availability once a week for the following week and they give me my assignments about a week in advance and then confirm the day before. A different agency I worked for would ask my availability every day for the following day and give me the information the night before. In both situations I do also occasionally get asked about jobs the same day or the next day that they need help with. I do try to be flexible and help when I can, but you can always say no to additional work. If my job cancels or if I end up being available an additional day, I can also ask if there's anything else available and there usually is. I hope this answers your question!

@@okaycat12 Thank you so much for the response! It's the last piece I need in order to make the move into classes! :)

Oh my god. I remember this day because of the eye shadow!!

[@okaycat12]

Yessss lol. I'm so glad you informed me of its existence. Definitely one of my top purchases of 2021 so far lol

[@jillibean9261]

Love your videos! (still lol) I am at 140 right now moving to 160 soon...kind of nervous because I've heard this is where many people get stuck, can you share your experience /if you think this is true?! Thanks! I am also obsessed with skinny pop lol

[@okaycat12]

Ahhh please don't get it in your head that any specific number is harder than any other!! Otherwise it'll be like a self-fulfilling prophecy and you will definitely struggle. I personally struggled for a long time at 130/140 and it was really discouraging, but I kept practicing and all of a sudden 170/180 felt slow. It felt like an overnight change, but I'm sure it was more gradual lol. You just have to trust the process and keep practicing, even when you're having a "bad day". I hope this helps!!!

Have you ever considered voice writing

[@vermasattu]

Can you guide me to become court reporter,,,

[@okaycat12]

Hello - you will need to complete court reporting school to become a court reporter. You can check out NCRA's website for approved schools. They also have a free intro course called A to Z that will allow you to try out the basics to see if it will be a good fit. Hope this helps!

Do you work from home?

[@okaycat12]

Normally, no, I do not work from home. Currently, I am working from home due to Covid. I'm not sure how long it will stay this way. Hope this helps!
