ZvT Troubles; Potential holiday project? Blog Options

Lately I've been having trouble with ZvT when they go drop-heavy. I've never won a single game on Tal'darim Altar in ZvT mainly because I prefer macro games, therefore I don't usually go for, say, a 2 base eco Bling Bust - the result of that is that my 4th/5th bases usually get trashed when they engage my main army and drop a bunch of marines at my expos. Urrrrrrrgh.
I decided to speak to a Terran I played and lost to on ladder today, and managed to pick up two major errors in my play, so I'm somewhat satisfied that I'm making progress at least!

Anyway, that's not the point. Exams are almost over, I'll have a break for about 5 weeks, and I'm thinking of doing a similar series as to what eLim and crAzerk have been doing - documenting my ladder games with my general thought process (in an informal way, so some swearing might be expected), except in video format (I've done vlogs before and have a paid version of Fraps, so I'm familiar with simple video editing) with the replay set to my own personal camera view.

However, I'm yet ANOTHER Zerg player :P Additionally, I do have a slightly unusual accent, and I completely fail at pretending to be excited, preferring the analytical approach if I'm ever put in a casting position, and am only in Diamond so naturally there'll be errors in my play, so the odds are fairly against me.
Nevertheless I feel that if I at least sharpen my skills in speaking in general I can contribute to this community in the near future (currently I can't play in the GPD or do anything for the BSG due to family commitments).
One of my other concerns is whether people would actually be interested, but I imagine it's just a matter of advertising and making sure my content is unique enough. After all part of grabbing the community's attention is being able to offer people something unique (quoting coL.Destiny here!)

Let me know what you guys think

If you can't sound excited, sound annoyed. Any emotion will do, really. Helps to engage the viewer.
