Video Tutorial:
The tips and tricks mentioned in the video include:
Record in a safe and distraction-free location
Dress professionally
Position yourself so you’re sitting in front of a window so that you’re being lit with natural light; try not to have open windows or large sources of light behind you
Make sure the camera is at eye level and that you are centered in front of your laptop
Be sure to leave some room above your head so if you move, you won’t appear off camera
It’s always better to be a bit further away from your camera than to be too close
Look directly into the camera when speaking
If you are reading off of a script on your computer, make the text large enough to read and keep the line of text that you are reading towards the top of your screen, just below the camera
Speak clearly and try to smile as you speak
Just relax, have fun, and be yourself!
