Because I've seen this kind of comment quite a lot, I might pin it and leave my response here. I like to do this for fun, I try to go out and brave my own anxiety. I HATE going outside and speaking to people. But I do it for my own personal development. It hurts a little when I see comments like this, but maybe you can show me your vox popping and maybe I can learn from you! Feel free to send a link to your work ! I'm always looking to improve. I speak to double the amount of people that I put in the video, since most people don't want to be filmed, but I have a nice chat with them anyway. The people that are okay with being filmed are put on camera. A lot of those people who didn't want to talk were from Sheffield. I cannot help the fact that some of the individuals are from other places visiting Sheffield on the particular day I chose to do this. However, I still wanted to find out what they thought about Sheffield. Their opinions are very VERY valuable to me. Outsider perspectives can be so useful and interesting. I wanted their voice to be heard, especially when they seemed to love Sheffield as much as I do. I really hoped this cleared a few things up. If you want to write a comment like this, please PLEASE ! Get in touch! YOU could be on the next show ! I want Sheffield perspectives, and if you like this content enough to leave a constructive criticism like this, then it's important to you. That's so so good and that voice needs to be heard, and your face on the screen! Hope this helps Elise x

[@alshort752]

It wasn't really a criticism as such more like an observation. I always appreciate hearing what people from outside the city think of it so I enjoyed the video but as someone who's spent many years living here and seen a lot of change I would be interested to see what some of the locals think about it. As for having me on the next show I'm not sure that it would do much for your likes and subscribes🤔. @@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard

I love seeing you interact with the public, you have such a friendly welcoming presence

[@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard]

Thank you! :) Xx

[@ashholiday123]

You did such an excellent job on this - You're not the only one who struggles approaching people, I do too but it's lovely to connect and to remember that we are all just human, nothing more, nothing less. Can't wait to see the next one! 👍

[@allanp5]

As somebody who grew up not that far from Sheffield it was interested to see what people in Sheffield think of it.

[@reubenbmx]

What town/city are you from?

[@muenstercheese]

you have such a wonderful positive energy! it's so refreshing seeing such genuine interactions in a world of craziness

[@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard]

thank you! This is a wonderful comment to recieve, how kind :)

[@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard]

What do you think of Sheffield? I love the history, and the art that thrives out of it.

did you not shave you'r legs that day?

[@ojahk483]

Thanks for the video , I spent 3 years of my life studying and working there. I miss the city and watched this video to go down the memory lane. Great people!

[@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.-]

Everyone is so nice. I really enjoyed the different perspectives.

[@acquiescefc]

Not sure how I stumbled on your video glad I did tho, the city has changed a fair bit since i left but it will always be home. I think your summing up of Sheffielders at the end was absolutely spot on.

[@BUDBLOOOD]

I really enjoyed this video, well done. A Sheffield Bloke

[@neilthewheelio]

Loved the video, there is no better place than Sheffield to strike up a coversation with a total stranger. Please, do it more often and before long you will get over your apprehension. It's great that you are purposefully going outside of your comfort zone to talk to people, it is essential if you want to work in journalism. Good Luck and thanks for the video.

[@mustafaercelik5851]

Great video !

[@MrGreatplum]

Well, Sheffield has 3 Wetherspoons so that’s a win 😜 Some great interviews - I’ve never been to Sheffield and I want to go now. I take my hat off to you interviewing people in the street - I don’t think I could do that - you are amazing!

[@brettrueman251]

It’s got about 5

[@jasonfearnley1744]

You are a bit short with just three weathers

[@nickc9398]

Sheffield is quite small? There's 4-5 different drinking areas btw, West Street is mainly students and early 20s people.

[@scottstewart4577]

Lovely meeting you! Be sure to let us know when you’re in Newcastle

[@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard]

Wonderful to have you both on! Will do! :) feel free to email me on [e-mail]

[@graphdatascientist]

I love Sheffield...beautiful

[@averagezing]

to you I tip my hat, this is impressive!

[@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard]

Thank you ! :)

[@brettrueman251]

There’s more than just west street, Ecclesall road, kelham island, and it’s the 4th biggest city in the country

[@paulbromley6687]

If I could change Sheffield I bring a John Lewis and put it opposite the city hall

[@redlady935]

"it has plenty of Weatherspoons"...blimey

[@ankledsquid]

Lmao there's 9 in total. 3 in city centre itself

[@andrewgamble5332]

It's a great place of you want your road closed off without proper consultation or ignoring the wishes of the residents.Its a great place if you don't want to get to Wisewood Estate or Bradfield because there is no bus service.Its never been a proper city like Manchester.The trams are great but very restricted in destination.LTNs are laughably called interactive neighborhoods.

[@dean8282]

Do one at night on West Street or front of City Hall maybe in Summer time. Be fun to watch. After a few jars people will be friendly.

[@BadGaming101]

lol last gig we went to was A Canadian punk band Called SNFU We had green room access , top tip never hug the drummer after the gig

[@eaterdrinker000]

unless you're into onion sweat

[@sglenny001]

By of chance would it be possible for you to do one these for Doncaster

[@mohsinkhatri1290]

was lovely to watch , how did you approach people ?

[@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard]

Thank you ! I walked up to people if they seemed open (weren't eating or in conversation) and basically said that I'm trying to become more confident by talking to strangers each day. If they were happy to talk to camera, that was an option, but for most of the interviews, they were not recorded and I found out a lot about the locals. :) I didn't want to pressure anyone, but if they were happy to be filmed, it was a nice bonus!

[@mohsinkhatri1290]

@@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard awesome , thanks for the reply

[@improvesheffield4824]

As a born and bred Sheffielder, the city centre is a shithole! Inappropriate developments over the last 70 years or so has seen what was once probably the most impressive Victorian city in the U.K. turned into a mish mash of inhuman ad hoc buildings serviced by roads that go nowhere. The city centre seems to be no more than an experimental place for university architecture students to have their ridiculous designs brought to fruition and to give university so called ‘art’ students the brutalist blank canvasses for them to scrawl their graffiti on. Of course it’s not all bad; the Peace Gardens and Winter Gardens are a triumph, the Midland Station concourse is a pleasant space and the recent Grey to Green planting is an absolute joy to walk through but you really have to get out to the hilly suburbs, parks and countryside to appreciate the best of the city and what the city centre needs to aspire to to reach its full potential!

[@robertbolsover2397]

Try asking the Sheffielders , not students.

[@shez3530]

run down broken derilict. incl parson cross where i live .

[@rockyzrockyx917]

Sheffield, Texas is too hot!

[@gregbroadhead6085]

mayb interview people born in sheffield mmmm gud idea

[@richardburns5925]

Err......you will actually struggle now to find any Sheffielders in the city centre now, just listen to the conversations as you walk about, I always look at people approaching me, are these English? They look slightly english.......listen, listen, no! Its either students or foreigners. If I want to see and speak to any Sheffielders, I go to Job Lot, Parsons Cross. The estates are true Sheffield.

[@user-fs6sl2er1x]

Sheffield is the Metropolis the only place to live

[@diannedogwalker8935]

I came to Sheffield as a student and never left. Why? The people are warm and friendly, kind and generous. The city centre is not full of chain stores( go to Meadowhall for that). So many trees and Parks. Endcliffe Park, Hillsborough, Bolehill, Graves, Meersbrook, Firth Park, Concord, many more. So many green areas around. Independent businesses setting up. Foodhalls for small businesses. Cutlery works, Kommune, Sheffield plate. There's a make do and mend spirit that I love ❤️

[@benjyhxc]

Has any one ever looked on a map? Sheffield isn't small.

[@selfpreservationsociety]

I hate the place , did 30 years in pitsmoor say no more

[@abdirahimmussa2708]

Broomhall

[@aperson9387]

Its lame i miss acting jobs in London, they have nothing hear worth going to except maybe feeding pigines but I like pigines! they are nicer then the people. Its a bit like sodom and gemora.

[@user-qv2xt6rq1k]

Good people but terrible for shops and two terrible football clubs

[@OrionBlaze]

seeing some comments and also the ones from similar videos i get the impression that people from Sheffield are quite racist and white proud. Is this true?

[@PabloGarcia-hc8xq]

Just read your comment and wondering what in this particular video made you think this. What do you mean by 'white proud'? Are you suggesting people should be ashamed or indeed not proud of being white? Have you ever visited Sheffield? You should - it's worth a weekend break.

[@OrionBlaze]

@@PabloGarcia-hc8xq At its core, "white pride" centers around the belief that white people are superior to other races. This ideology is inherently racist and fuels discrimination and prejudice against people of color. It often ignores the historical and ongoing struggles faced by marginalized communities due to systemic racism and oppression.

[@wobber999]

Proud maybe but racist nah
