Who this list is for

For creators, experts and anyone who films video. The topics are ready-made ideas for Reels, Shorts and Stories: a beginner mistake in your field, advice to your younger self, a myth about your job. Practice helps you nail it on the first take, not the tenth.

A common mistake

A slow start. “Hi everyone, today I want to talk about…” — by then the viewer has already scrolled away. Open with your main point or a surprising claim.

Sample answer

One mistake beginners make in my field

Beginners in sales talk too much. They think the more they say about the product, the better the chance to sell. In reality, clients buy when they feel understood. In my first meetings I talked ninety percent of the time and didn’t close a single deal. The advice is simple: ask three questions before you pitch anything.

Questions about this list

How do these topics help my channel?

Each topic is a ready idea for a 30–60 second video. Practice it in Lammy, then film.

Why does a fast start matter so much?

In short videos viewers decide whether to keep watching within the first seconds. The Start metric in your feedback shows how long you stay silent before the first word.

Do I need a script?

For short videos a key point and a takeaway are enough. Say the rest in your own words.

How a session works

  1. Spin the wheelYou get a random topic from this list — like a question you didn't prepare for.
  2. Speak for a minuteLammy turns speech into text. The coach counts fillers, pauses and pace and checks your structure.
  3. Second takeGet one task and say it again. Your second take almost always scores higher.
